Honestly? I liked it. But I'll admit I bought it when it was on sale, at full price I wouldn't bother. Non remappable keys, the hint system is bit odd. But at sale price? Yeah I can recommend it. Non-linear puzzle where you can tackle any puzzles in order and finding keys to unlock the parts of mansion was fun enough. All in all good way to spend couple of hours.

This game has forced me to confront the possibility that I just like being allowed to snoop around old Victorian houses. The Victorians really had an amazing sense of aesthetics and craftsmanship. And ghosts, they had good ghosts. I bring this up because this game had truly immaculate vibes. The manor's design was wonderful, each room decorated and assembled with a wonderful eye for interiors, but the gameplay itself was flawed in a couple ways that keep me from wholeheartedly recommending it. There was also a loose plot that wasn't particularly engaging (it was phenomenally telegraphed) but was sufficient for the kind of game this is. The biggest issue with this game is that it made the choice to not confine puzzles to rooms or even sections of the house. I can see how this seemed like a good idea -- make things less obvious, give players an excuse to keep using spaces, make things less artificial. The problem is that this conceit has practical reasons for existing. For one, it was impossible to tell when you'd found everything in a room. Is that puzzle you can't solve unsolveable right now, or did I miss something somewhere? There's no way to tell. Second, it meant that I was constantly going, "♥♥♥♥, I know what I need for this, but what room was it in?" I 100ed this game in 4 hours, and an inordinate amount of that time was running around the map trying to remember where I'd seen the chest with a heart-shaped lock or whatever. Third, I apparently once accidentally brute-forced a puzzle and skipped a huge swath of the game by getting into a room early (I just thought you were supposed to guest-test-revise it, I didn't realize there was a clue somewhere...). I had to go back later on and retrace my steps to catch up to where I'd gotten to. All of these problems are solved by restricting the puzzles to certain rooms (or, again, areas) and being done with them once you move on. I also don't think this is a big verisimilitude problem -- honestly, because most of the games have a guiding intelligence making the puzzles, it does make some sense they'd do them room-by-room. I can accept the evil mad scientist being a good game designer, lol. So that's the upshot, excellent tone and fun visuals (the penny dreadfuls were a great touch), but the game design could be a bit frustrating. On the whole I came out having quite enjoyed it, but those who aren't a sucker for 19th-century ghost stories will probably have a less satisfying experience.

I like this game so much! 😍 The house itself is very beautiful and huge. You have so much to explore. Honestly, I don't mind just roaming around the manor not doing any puzzles. Haha. But the puzzles itself are also really good. I like that you need to actually search the house, because the clues to a puzzle in 1 room might be in a different room/hallway/floor. It would have been boring if every room has 1 puzzle and all answers are found in that same room. So I'm glad the game devs didn't go to that path. It doesn't feel overwhelming though, it was planned well that you just discover enough clues along the way to keep solving puzzles one after another and for the main story to continue. I also like how the puzzles feel related to the story. This is something that many other puzzle games fail to do. Most often, it feels like there is a different team assigned to the story development and another team for the puzzle making. I didn't feel that while playing this game. What I didn't like about the game: 1. The doors keeps on closing. It is such a grand house with so many rooms and when you've entered and exited a room way too many times, you might find yourself irritated when you see it closed AGAIN. If the cabinets and drawers can stay open, why can't the doors too??? Specially the sliding doors. 😤 2. The puzzles can be vague sometimes, I used a guide a several times because it was taking too much of my time.

An ok escape game for the price on sale. It is pretty janky and gave me bad nausea as the camera kept jerking all time and lagging even with 144fps. The story is ok. The ending is underwhelming. I had a bug where a puzzle got stuck and the hint was not working anymore so i had to look for a guide to advance thoughout the story -.-" It is short and janky. I only recommend it on high discount. and since i got it on sale for me is a go.

Overall this is a fun puzzle/ escape room style game. It's pretty short but fun to play. My criticism is that I guess its supposed to be spooky? But it doesn't have a lot of spooky atmosphere or foreboding. Not even a stormy night outside! A few of the puzzles are simple sequence puzzles too. However, its playable and I enjoyed it overall so I will recommend it. The puzzles are logical and make sense. The graphics are really nice but the music is kind of poop I put my own spooky lofi on and some rain noise. The plot is okay, but because its mostly diary entries it doesn't have much impact. The Penny Dreadful art is very fun and I like that a lot. I feel like to improve the devs need to focus more on atmosphere and dread(fulness) ;)
