IT'S A NO GO !!!!
After reading the first reviews I decided to give it a try, should have read the rest! DO NOT like this type of games the navigation is enough to cause you to barf if you are sentive to motion. I don't think I was able to play for more than one minute and I had to log off my computer in order to get out of the game since I could find a way back to the menu screen. I would give it another try if the navigation would change, otherwise this is a no go for me which is a shame because according to the reviews seems like a pretty good game.

Motion sickness
The 360 graphics were awful, they give you motion sickness, and it was impossible to figure out what to do. I gave up after a couple of minutes.

Scratches a true gem; don't miss this one!
Sadly, the team from Argentina that created this gem have disbanded so there is no foreseeable possibility of a part 2! This game is something else! I was so distracted by the relationship between the game's 2 lead male roles (Jerry and Micheal) that I failed to appreciate what was going on right under my fingertips! I've rarely experienced better game mechanics! The way the gamer operates the character is intuitive and effortless. It really reminded me of the Penumbra/Amnesia games in that and other respects. Absolutely everything is tight, from the audio, soundtrack through voice acting, to scenery, stills, visuals and gameplay, there is no area left undeveloped! How this game never got picked up by a major company is a mystery! Don't miss this one; it's a true treasure! Plenty of replay value. Not only will I not forget this game by next week, I'll be comparing other games to this one from here on!

Amazing! WOW!
What an excellent game! If you are accustomed to 3D gaming, you should have no problems with navigation or motion sickness. Use RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON for inventory!
The immersion level of this game makes it stand apart from any other game I have ever played on BF.
Rich, detailed graphics; eery music and a story that leaves you wanting to know more - to the point that even tho you are scared to open that door, you just can't stop yourself. This game will leave your heart racing and keep you on your toes.
**If you are really brave, wait until night to play. Turn off all the lights and slap on those headphones for that extra immersion to feel your heart pound and your palms get sweaty. (and hope you don't have a sicko living in your house that can't resist the urge to sneak up on you and go BOO! - your neighbors will hear you scream 10 miles away if so!) LOL

Scary but Frustrating
This game has a good story line, but it was so challenging that i often felt like pulling my hair out! I had to use a walkthrough and constantly close the game down, pull up the walkthrough, close the walkthrough, pull back up the game....over and over and over. Sometimes there were subtle hints to pick up on and sometimes the next step was completely impossible to figure out without help. This game would have been more tolerable if there was a better in game hint system available. The game was scary - which is the only thing it really has going for it.

Great Intellectual Endeavor by Developers!
This was a great intellectual endeavor on the part of the developers, who, unlike any other gaming team I've encountered, have managed to come across with a truly great game without once resorting to puzzles, HOGs or mini-games. Everything is plot. Pure plot.
This is, perhaps, the most difficult game I have ever tried to solve. I played with "hints off," and that really made it tough going. And what a mystery! Even the mystery was a mystery because you didn't know what you were looking for or what the end result of the game could possibly be! I found myself wandering around in the dark, wondering what to do next. I only "heard things." That's all. And I became a bit paranoid. I suspected everyone in the game, and I suspected no one, after a while. It all rather reminded me of Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau of the famous series of films made by the late, great Peter Sellers, who once said, in the midst of one of his bumbling investigations:
"I suspect everyone, and I suspect no one."
And that's just how this game is. It is quite long. It is also darksome, gloomy, and riveting. It provides the player with the very highest of challenge pinnacles.
Many say they quit this game because they got motion sickness. Strange. They never said that about all the other non-linear games, including the entire Drew Series. I would encourage them to go back and take the game one step at a time. No hurry. I was, more than once, greatly frustrated, as I tried to retire for the night. Yet, my character kept repeating:
"As tired as I am, I still can't sleep. I think I'll look around some more."
I found that the reason I could NOT sleep was because I missed a step somewhere. Finally, after I found a needed object, I drifted off to sleep.
I would again encourage those who have given up on this game to stay with it, if only for a few minutes a day. Eventually, you will win! And let me tell you, the ending is
u-n-f-o-r-g-e-t-t-a-b-l-e.
Just a caveat for the developers. There are many of us out here in gameland that deplore swearing of any kind. Actually, I'd prefer it if you'd use a four-letter word rather than the name of God because, then, that wouldn't be swearing. It would just be crude and rude. So c'mon! Clean that stuff up for us and for BIG FISH GAMES!

Great mystery game.
Loved every part of the game, certain part's were a challenge but kept me in suspense all the way.
p.s watch out for scary part at end. Loved it.

Not my type of game
I really enjoy HOGs and decided to try a different type of game. I have played a couple of times for a few minutes each time and cannot seem to get anywhere other than wandering around the same rooms. I do not understand what the objectives are or what the whole point of the game is since there are no hints or objective guides. I will try it again but with the walkthrough.

No go for me!
Just a few minutes in and I knew this WASN'T the game for me! This game caused me to get motion sickness. I simply hate 360 degree movement. I wasn't even able to figure out how to use the key to unlock the front door and I felt too dizzy to continue. The rest of the game may have been good, but it sure doesn't start out that way!
