This is one of those games I've had in my inventory since... Dec 2015. I'm trying to rest my left arm from a stress injury and am going through some old point and click games so I decided to finally play this. I'm glad I did, I ended up really enjoying it. The story was a bit...vague on some details but horrifying on others. I was genuinely creeped out a couple times. Its got its flaws for sure, its short and the 'puzzles' are pretty limited but at least I didn't get stuck. Also I'm pretty sure one puzzle is just in there to poke fun at the usual 'moon logic' of this genre. The art is lovely, just the perfect kind of pixel art. Its pretty short, with only the 3 chapters. Supposedly there is a sequel to come? But it was promised in 2016 and it seems the dev has been having health issues. Hopefully they are doing well, I would love another game, but health takes priority. anyway, I liked it for what it is, a simple and quick point & click.

The Charnel House Trilogy doesn’t hit as much as Richard & Alice. In fact, it sometimes feels unfinished and makes the same mistake as the studio's previous title: focusing on one character and leaving the other in the void. The two protagonists, Alex and Dr. Lang, meet when they’re about to board a train, and things take a strange turn from there. The game could be classified as psychological horror, and it mostly revolves around Alex and her not-so-distant past. She discovers some disturbing facts about her neighbour Rob and her ex Gavin through mysterious means, and Dr. Lang simply discovers the train is actually a form of purgatory. The gameplay elements are not as strong as the previous game, and there is only one ending. Although it’s called a trilogy, it’s actually three short episodes that could be completed in 2 hours. There’s also voice acting, but its necessity is questionable. The only redeeming quality has been the atmosphere for me. TL;DR An underwhelming entry compared to Richard & Alice. It explores the idea of purgatory, but makes the same mistake as the previous game by focusing on one character and leaving the other one mostly to the player’s interpretation.

Short and creepy point and click game that I enjoyed quite a bit. I wish there was a sequel, the build up was perfect and really had me ready to dive further into the story. But still, a fun little ride to enjoy a nice horror story.

I first played this game back in 2016. I finished all the achievements in 2025, and I wrighting this review in 2026. This is a short little game, but the story is twisted and brutal. Pretty graphics great music and a really memorable and likable main protagonist. After all these years, and I still find myself thinking about this game. Good game.
