This is one of the best point and click games I have played. I had to get through this whole game. I originally wasn't going to get through the whole game, I was just curious on what this game was all about, but after awhile I got somewhat addicted to this, and had to beat it. I'm also playing similar style games too, like Dark fall, and the second Barrow Hill.

Massive amounts of atmosphere and charm kept me thoroughly engaged the whole way through. A type of spooky story that I wasn't accustomed to with an "evil" rooted in stuff I know very little about made it even more fun to explore every nook and cranny and read all the world building and lore. On paper when you know the game it doesn't seem like it should be scary but it manages to create a really spooky and tense mood of danger regardless, and that's to be seriously respected, let alone that it still holds up almost 20 years later.
That being said, it's not all great. It is very very easy to miss certain hot spots that feel frankly like they are set that way just to pad gameplay, backtracking, and clicking on literally everything in the hopes something will happen. It is pretty easy to miss something small and find yourself wandering with no clue what to do or that a path you hadn't explored even existed.
I had to consult a guide on a few things and I don't regret using it, but even so I still heartily recommend it to fans of this kinda thing who haven't played it already or if you're curious. It's a very niche kinda horror game but if like me it scratches that itch of a more slowburn and classic horror vibe with a ton of heart in its creation, you'll probably dig it regardless of its shortcomings like I have.
