It's a simple and enjoyable game! Just give it a try, and don't think about the old graphics. Old-school adventure awaits you. It has a good story, and you all wanted to complete it at one time. It is only like 5 hours. Enjoy it!

Love this game. Really wish this was the Collector's Edition, though. I can't seem to find it available anywhere.

Very fun! A nice combination of hidden objects and brainteasers. The medallion powers add a little bit of extra variety to the whole thing, and there's some fun in the plot, although not much sense! Not a long game, but that's good - it doesn't outstay its welcome.

As an avid reader of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series, seeing Hound of the Baskervilles as a mystery and thriller game combined into a hidden object hunt completed my fill of play for tonight. I was looking for something that would attune my autistic OCD desires to quickly look for items as if the world is a vast “Where’s Waldo” maze. This classic reminds me why I loved the Mystery Case Files series: heavy lore, grand narrative, and puzzles that can be easy or complex (depending on your familiarity with the genre). It was a good 3+ hours of sustaining my needs to be enormously hyperfocused on intricate details—and I will certainly be getting my hands on the hard mode anytime soon!
