Although the storyline is interesting and the graphics are excellent, this game suffers from illogical puzzles. You will have to use hints because some of the puzzles make absolutely no sense. Also, the collector's "bonus chapter" is actually the final 1/3 of the game. The non-collector's version must be very disappointing.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great sequel to the first two Blackwell games--more suspense, a fast-moving plot, and interesting retro graphics. As with the other games, the writing and voice acting make this game stand out, a welcome alternative to random point and click games. Looking forward to the next installment!
I recommend this game!

This game stands out because of its superior voice acting and quality story line. The old school graphics and noir soundtrack are surprisingly immersive. The characters are unforgettable. There should be more games like this!
I recommend this game!

This retro-styled game focuses on character development and plot, not solving random puzzles like so many other games. A refreshing alternative--and a good reminder of how important writers and voice actors are!
I recommend this game!

Exquisite art work by true masters and enchanting story-telling help transport you to another world. The puzzles have the right amount of challenge (you don't forget what game you are playing when you try to solve them). I am totally immersed in the story and frankly don't want the game to end!
I recommend this game!
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.

We've loved all the MCF games but no longer trust the brand after this one. They invested money in creating disturbing graphics rather than telling a good story. Yuk!
I don't recommend this game.
