Graphics
The creators obviously decided to make the game stand out. According to previous comments, many players didn’t appreciate the chosen style. It looks retro, I believe, because the action takes place a few decades ago. Will do for me.
Storyline
You receive a letter from your younger sister, who has found a strange gemstone at the ruins of the Bathorys’ castle. She asks you to visit her as she is afraid of the place. However you only come to find her missing, as well as a dozen of local girls. Just as usual, the police leaves it upon you. Here you go!
Music / Voiceovers
Can’t comment upon it, because I usually switch them off as soon as main menu appears.
HO scenes & puzzles
It’s actually the first game I come across, where you get paid for HO scenes. A curious approach, because previously (for instance, in the Grim Facade series) coins were scattered all around. It’s good, that the item list was different whenever I replayed a HOS, so it didn’t seem repetitive. Puzzles were more or less usual, so I never used the Skip button.
Gameplay
Once you get used to the navigation and talk to the old lady, the real adventure begins. The only odd thing I remember is using a firefly to light a torch. The rest seemed quite logical to me, especially with the Hint button.
Take your time to play through the demo before you make a final opinion. It’s not a eerie HOPA, though the game title may suggest it. Still it’s a decent SE, especially if you prefer something different for tonight.
