Welcome to the dangerous world of "better living through chemistry" - unless some careless Chem-E screws up! The PixIES have formulated a nice little "spookster." This game has been calibrated to provide an eerie and intriguing storyline, an excellent pace, excellent graphics, puzzle-like inventory and HOP scenes which are varied.
HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
Ghosts and illusions abound as we travel back to prom night in 1965 in this game from the PixIES. Lives were lost as a high school was destroyed by a factory explosion on prom night. Ghosts from that night still haunt the school. The ghost of a bullied, misguided nerd relives unfounded guilt, believing he caused the death of his fellow students. Another "car breakdown" game finds your daughter being kidnapped. Has a ghost captured your daughter or could it be a flesh and blood person out for revenge?
GRAPHICS: The dark ambiance creates a creepy setting. Realistic characters
INVENTORY AND HOP SCENES: Both are interactive and puzzle-like. The inventory is lockable. In the demo I encountered: A. Junk piles. B. Silhouettes -Mini HOP scenes within a larger HOP scene C. Morphing objects which unlock HOP scenes (new approach and very creative)
PUZZLES: In the demo I encountered: A. Unlocking puzzles - using buttons to move antlers to release a lock B. Open a lock using chemical symbols C. Slider puzzle. D. Other types of puzzles - Slider puzzle Matching, Maze, Calibrating radio frequencies
EXTRA GOODIES: Collect 41 eyes. 13 Achievements. Receive blueprint as a map as you play the game. Morphing objects -introduce a HOP scene - very innovative
