Like Haunted Manor: Queen of Death, this game was visually appealing. The backgrounds were creepy, colorful, and detailed. Unlike Queen of Death, this game lacks a feeling of adventure and exploration. I couldn't finish the one hour trial because it felt like I was being ushered from room to room and checking mundane, simple tasks off of a list rather than exploring the mansion and figuring out where and how to use the items. Rather than being able to explore many different locations at your own discretion, the game just proceeds from one room to the next room--first the hall, then the library, etc-- as you complete simple, self-contained tasks. Part of the fun of hog's is having to travel all over the map, finding and using items in obscure locations. From what I saw of it, this game eliminates that element and the challenge that comes with it. It was pretty, but boring.
I don't recommend this game.
