Castle of Secrets Steam Charts & Stats

Illustrations are of top quality and music is fitting to the setting, and both gives a great combination of surreal atmosphere and feelings. I have not completed the game till now but it seems i am nearing it. Till now i have used hints two times, to find the objects. Puzzles are practical and not that difficult. i like the story line and the fact that Miss Susan actions are going to decide the final outcome, for herself and for her parents. Some have issues with the voice acting of Miss Susan but i like the voice acting for Miss Susan and other characters. I think the main issue is that when Miss Susan character is first introduced, the first few lines are very energetic and dramatic. All this occurs when the player has hardly been introduced to Miss Susan character. I had to reload the game at two stages to advance the game play otherwise i have not found any other technical issue till now.

It is a copycat of "Alice: Madness Returns" but with a not-great gameplay and not a good story either. It seems off. I don't know how to explain it, maybe because characters feel lifeless, the mixing 2D and 3D and the lack of coherence ? And I like chaotic games and stories so ... I don't recommand it.

it could have been a good game; I've enjoyed most of the game play but became totally frustrated by the inability to save progress other than at the end of a chapter. The game might be fine for those with unlimited time or particularly fast players but not everyone falls into that category; some of us have to reply upon snatching an odd half hour as and when available or playing late at night when time is limited. I made it almost to the end of level 8 but struggled to complete the last sequence before having to give up for the night. I have now lost all my progress on that level with the prospect that the same would happen again so I am reluctantly giving up on the game. There is a save and load option in the menu but this still saves only to the start of the chapter so what is it's purpose? It should have been so simple to enable this to save at any point so that we could continue to play again later when time ran out. In levels 7 and 8 (and presumably more to come) there are timed sequences which cannot be skipped (fine for experienced players but often game ending for those of us with less dexterity) but in any event mean that the level cannot be completed in the time available. It's such a shame that for some of us the game cannot be continued. I know that there will players who will consider these points to be irrelevant and don't want the easier options but why not cater for all potential players, the more experienced don't have to use the easier options and can still enjoy a challenge.
