One not to be missed
Not for the faint hearted, great challenge, voice over very convincing and a bit creepy!!lots of locations with plenty to do. Graphics excellent, puzzles a bit different from the norm, very few HOS which were easy, map to help, journal too. hint button waste of time, I bought the SE version only because i couldn't afford the CE I would have loved to see what happened at the very end.Hey Oh !!!!Great game though congrats to the developers, look forward to more like this.

A thrilling ride!
A fantastic ride of thrills and chills. I was actually nervous through the game because the speaker was excellent and the story line was great. The only thing I didn't like were the short games. A little too hard for me. It took too long to figure them out and they seemed not as interesting as the actual game itself. Overall, wonderful game for all. I highly recommend this game.

Fun
Pleasantly surprised by the voice over. The actor is talented and convincing, but also added a campy tone that had me laughing out loud.
Puzzles were reasonably challenging, scenes are good looking and creepy. Would have liked a jump map, a fair bit of running back for some task, or with no idea what's next.

Wonderful game, except...
This was a very good game. Great creepy storyline. More adventure than HO, yay!!! No penalty for misclicks. Great voice overs. You do get a map, however, it is not transportable. It tells you where there is a task or puzzle that needs to be done. Soooo, you spend a large large part of the game running back and forth and back and forth over 3 floors of this scene. Because of that, the rating went down in my book. I do not think a good game should consist of the ability to run back and forth through multiple floors and rooms to complete tasks. The mini games were good. Great game all in all.

Great storyline
Iinitialy played this game last year, but decided to play it again and compare to Brink of Consiousness: Lonely Hearts. Although I enjoyed the plot and character interactions better in Lonely Hearts, this was a fantastic game and outshone most of the other games on BF. Big reason? That there is an actual storyline (almost a Saw-like horror movie) that keeps you interested and isn't like most of the other same old supernatural things out there. I mean, isn't it scarier when it's something that is pure human evil and could really happen? Don't get me wrong, I like supernatural. But puppets that come to life or otherworldy ghosts and ghouls just don't have the same scare factor.
Graphics are dark, and so is the theme. Creepy, truly is a better word. But that is great for me! We continually hear dialogue of the inner workings of a sociopath as he follows us on our quest, being led by the nose through a series of tests to try to save our beloved, Anne.
Fits into my Top 10 games of all times!

WHEW! FINALLY FINISHED GAME
What a very challenging and very lengthy adventure game. You play Sam, a journalist, seeking his girlfriend who has been squirrelled away by a madman who gives his subjects immortality. You hear a lot from the madman; his voice is rather pleasant. HOS are fairly easy, as are the puzzles. Graphics and scenery are clear, detailed and many are beautiful. Very well thought-out plot and game play. When you think you are at the end, you find that you are not. So you play on until you again think you are at the end, only to find you are not. Eventually, you do reach the end ? sort of. Very interesting concept of how this is done.
Most challenging: There are many, many locations. However, even though there is a map which is useful in showing your location and where actions are possible, it is not interactive. But don?t get too comfortable just because you have a map. The map is on 3 planes which only shows locations in perspective, depending on their location in the mansion. You can see the locations on one plane, but alas, you have to figure out how to get there. Example: Even though one level shows all the locations outside of the mansion, you cannot simply access all of them even though they are shown next to each other. Instead, you must access them from 2 different exits from the mansion. And with so many rooms, it?s up to you to remember how to access the exits. Easy to become frustrated trying to find a location ? the walkthrough may tell you to go to the old car, but not how to get there. You just have to remember what locations lead to which locations ? it?s easy to get lost even with the W/T.
One big annoyance ? in many of the scenes, there is very distracting coughing. Doesn?t seem to tie into the story.

Great story!
This game had the most successful integration of a real story line of any game I've played yet.

Beautifully crafted game
This is a beautifully crafted and intelligent game, but not one for the novice or the impatient because there?s much walking to and fro .. and so many different rooms and passages, it made me quite dizzy.
The voice over (there?s only the one) is excellent, the graphics crisp, and just enough hidden object scenes to give a player a rest, and a welcome break midst all the confusion.
I found some of the puzzles quite difficult .. but maybe because the instructions were hard to understand.
To be honest, I lost the will to live towards the end, and if I hadn?t been so intrigued by the storyline (and the deliciously sinister villain) and how it would end, I think I would have quit. But saying all that, none of my criticisms are the fault of the game .. which thoroughly deserves 5 stars.
(It was also nice to have a male coming to the rescue of his damsel in distress for a change .. instead of the other way around)

PLAY EXPERT LEVEL
It has clear screens and graphics. Fun HOS and puzzles. They do let you skip both the talking and puzzles, if need be. Played the one hour trial, and purchased. Am on my way back to play. Only thing is if you do not like seeing dead people, then you will not like this game.

OUTSTANDING GAME!!!
Best HO game I've ever played. Hours of fun that kept me on my toes throughout. Excellent plot. Oscar droned on quite a lot with his philosophical wisdom, but that aside, it kept me gripped for quite a number of hours. Just the right amount of HOs and puzzles so as not to become frustrated. Most of them were interesting and some of them were not so straightforward but challenging.
I would definitely recommend this game. It's well worth the money.
