Fun and a bit challenging. Nice story

If you like point and click adventure games with drawn graphics, good story and paranormal investigations then this is the game for you.

Good, if a bit dated. The dialogue and characters are all top-notch and draw you in pretty quickly, and the story ends on an interesting note that has me wanting to know more. The fact that I'm gonna go buy the next game in the series is a pretty strong endorsement.

That said, there are several moments that'll make you appreciate how much modern adventure games have come since the 2000's. One puzzle requires you to ask your ghost friend for help, but he'll only help if you've had a very specific dialogue interaction in one specific setting. I had to leave the room I was in, travel to a different location, have a whole conversation with my ghost friend, learn a single tiny piece of information, then go BACK to the same room I'd been stuck in, re-initiate the sequence, and this time, there was a dialogue option that allowed me to progress. Stuff like that drives me NUTS, but it used to be the common thing, so I can't really hold it against this game, but it's still supremely frustrating when a game forces you to "show your work" when solving puzzles.

Likewise, the game uses a notepad feature where your character jots down all her thoughts. Handy, but she's incapable of solving any puzzles unless you combine notes to make her realize things. I was in the right place, with the right item, trying to do the right thing, but because I hadn't combined the two notes in my inventory, my character wouldn't fix the puzzle. I get that they're trying to prevent people from brute-forcing and guess-and-checking their way through the game, but it had the opposite effect; I almost always knew what to do, but the hard part was figuring out which notepad clue or dialogue exchange I had to trigger to make the game believe that I knew what I was doing.

End of the day, it was a good experience, I just had to get some venting done. Excited to see what comes next in the series!
