An English Haunting Reviews

10/10

Bueno! Bien escrito.

Finished this game in 6h. Great, engaging story. An absolute gem! My hats off to the dev. I first played Nightmare Frames, also a terrific game. One thing though, the puzzles were a bit too easy in both games. Looking forward to their next game!

Excellent game. I enjoyed the wonderful pixel art and use of (mostly) period appropriate music, along with the stunning original music. The story started with themes I enjoy very much, 1900s London ghost hunting, seances and mediums, references to classic horror literature. All yummy stuff. Then gets more and more wild and pulpy, and I loved it. At no point was I stuck on what to do, maybe the puzzles were simple, but it kept the pace up. Recommend.

This game has everything you want from a Point and Click Adventure. Spooky Story with Intruige and interesting Characters, Easy controls, amazing rich Story, a great Soundtrack and beautiful pixel graphics. 10/10

WOW. This was a stunningly crafted period piece point and click. I'm blown away by the dialogue, the characters, art, and flawless 1900's vibe. Shocking moments that actually deliver on the promise of horror. This near-solo dev is a quiet master of the 'classic' feeling I CRAVE from this genre. Loved this one, start to finish!

Really nice game, especially if you like the paranormal, Victorian ghost stories. I do agree that there is a LOT of text to read but it shouldn't be a problem if you like the topic or if you want to dabble into it. I knew already a lot of the topics talked about in this game, because it's directly based from well known real protagonist or experiments of the time. The use of original 1902-1907 sounds + some well known Victorian spirit photographs recreated in pixel art is a joy to see. The puzzles are not that hard, apart from one list of quiz question (who isn't mandatory to finish the game). Finally, the pixel art is really well done. Overall, give it a go if you like a good point and click.

I must've used the word perfect for only a handful of games in my life - this is one of the even rarer recent ones. I finished the game over 3 days, with zero frustrating sequence, almost perfect flow and difficulty of puzzles etc., and never fading curiosity. Even the ratio of consulting a walkthrough and relying on one's own faculties was perfect (2-3 to 8-7/10 is ideal imo). I never really expect pixel graphics to create a sense of urgency and a rush in gameplay but this game accomplishes that, too. Plus, as a linguist, I was amazed by the fluidity of the English translation. I forgot I was playing a translated version until I saw the credits. Kudoz to the localisation team!
