I wasn't too sure I wanted to get involved in a game where children were being taken. Child abduction is such a taboo subject, with good reason. However, I read some of the reviews and decided to try it for the free hour. I was hooked! I bought the game! It makes you feel real good when you can help rescue children. Even though it is ficticious in the game, it's something that everyone of us would like to do, rescue missing children. The game itself has excellent graphics, a good spooky sound track and excellent assistance, should you need it. I am a casual game player and used this game in that mode. I found the hint button will point you in the right direction if you are in a room and don't know where to go next, and it doesn't discharge your hint, so there is no waiting to find out if the next room is where you need to be. You can keep using the hint button until you reach the destination where you are supposed to be next. However, sometimes it does send you to a room where you only have part of the things you need to complete a puzzle. I found you have to apply the partial items to the puzzle before you can find out where you really need to go. It was a very enthralling game and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
