The Inheritance of Crimson Manor Reviews

More backtracking than puzzling, some strange moon logic and brute force solutions, poor user interface that will actively mislead you about a solution not working (see: telephone puzzle) and intermingles clickable interfaces with controller-only interfaces in a very strange way. I can't recommend this at all.

A decent puzzle game, none of the puzzles were very difficult to solve. The issues of not remembering where to use certain keys can be eliminated with one simple act....taking notes. When I play a puzzle game like this I take notes of what locks I find so that later on when I get a key or a combination I have a list of things that haven't been opened yet. Story was ok, didn't break any ground there, but on a technical note the game had some framerate slowdown in certain areas. Overall, solid puzzle/hidden object game that will entertain for a few hours.

I liked this game. The puzzles were generally fun and there was a good flow to them. The map helps you with cues to find the most important things again and the hallways are different enough such that I didn't find orienting myself too hard.

The Inheritance of Crimson Manor an atmospheric 1st person adventure for players who enjoy puzzle/escape room games. Overall the puzzles aren't too hard, had to use a guide just one because i just didn't have the right idea to solve it. Mostly there are useful little hints in the environment, but you still have to use your own brain to find and solve things. Exploration is important. The graphics are overall nice, but the anti aliasing is really bad. Use super sampling if possible. 3d Models and textures are good, not great. But this is an indie game, so i don't expect triple a graphics. music and sound design are nice too. Dark areas without a light source are a little too bright for my taste, but that might be intentional. Fans of games like Myst, The Room or 7th Guest series should take a look. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a fun game for a few hours and the architecture of the mansion is really nice.

I had such a blast playing this game! Very linear in terms of achievements, got them all by the end of the game. House is beautiful and you'll get lost a time or two just checking out the detail. It did seem like the circular puzzle repeated a time or too but wasn't the end of the world. Only had to use a guide one because the hint system wasn't hinting enough for me on a particular puzzle. I very much enjoyed to the end......10 hours later........Great job!!!!!
