Fun paranormal game
Set in a rundown compound formerly housing military researchers. It is shorter than I would have like and the ending is a letdown but overall I enjoyed the game. I never felt threatened by any of the the mini-bosses in the game as they just struck a threatening pose and looked at you. Admittedly, this isn't an RPG game but given that the mini-bosses were some of the same critters that wrecked the area to start with there should have been more of a challenge to beating them to get to the next area. The final boss... well, you pretty much just thumb your nose at him to beat him. Like I said, a very blah ending but over all the game was very entertaining to play with an intriguing story line.

Love the atmosphere
I love abandoned houses and buildings and in this game the rooms in the abandoned hospital is very good.
I also liked that no ghosts nor spirits appeared but the skeletons were kind of cute. You should try to touch some especially the one in the elevator.
I liked the humorous comments of the player character when he/she got an item, too.

I loved this game, it was totally brilliant! great story line, interesting puzzles with a mix of hidden object games. Niether too easy nore too hard.

Okay
The military experiment setting is interesting. The scene cuts, etc. are well done. The story starts out somewhat promising, but the ending seems very rushed.
Did not at all care for having to revisit previous Hidden Object scenes at the end. The display was grainy and dark throughout, though it's possible my display's to blame for some of that. There were some HO scenes in which objects had to be replaced rather than found, which I like.
Game play was okay - nothing really new or innovative. The Hint feature wasn't very helpful. (You could pick one interact-able item in the room and a ghostly, grainy image of its solution would appear, even though that puzzle couldn't be solved until near the end of the game.) I did consult the walikthrough several times, when I'd missed a small onscreen object. Fair amount of running back and forth.
Overall, it's not that this is awful, but that there are better examples of its type out there.

Challenging and Interresting
Excellent game with great HO's and story line. We enjoy the games that require concentration and going back and forth between scenes. This one moved along very well, but was a little short. We finished it in one 3.5 hour session.

Too short
Game length is as important to me as visuals, challenges, story line, etc. I thought the graphics were quite good. Mini-games in the demo were good, but you've seen them before: pipes, key tumblers, switch combinations, etc. But I did the demo, without hints or skips in 40 minutes. Examining the walkthrough says this is about a 2 hour game for me. With a new game everyday, plus a backlog of games I'm still wading through, there isn't enough here to put it on my buy list.

game
It was fun but it took a while to download this is the type of game for hard-core players.
