I’m in a minority here with other reviews.
I bought House of 1000 Doors -Family Secrets elsewhere and loved it, it was my favorite game. One of those you hate to finish! So when I saw this one without trying it first (My Fault) I jumped on House of 1000 doors-Palm of Zoroastar CE. I should have tried it first! Huge let down! Family Secrets has a lot more interaction with people trapped in the house and time. There was very little of that in this one! I think Kate appears twice, not sure because as the game went on I forgot about her!
I can’t stand Medieval type games and that’s what this was. (I suppose Zoroastar should have given me a hint) Not much to it either compared to Family Secrets. More HOS and less involvement, I couldn't find a real story if there was one.. Seemed to drone on forever from HOS to puzzle roaming around picking up this and that and so on. I had no clue I was about to finish it when I did but was I glad it was over! When your solving a mystery you should at least feel like your getting close, didn't seem to have a story line. The Bonus game was it’s only redeeming factor! However, please try it yourself..

Based on other reviews, I'll say..
I recommend this game!
