This is gonna be a really quick (I hope) review of Decay-The Mare. . .

I'm actually in game as I write this,I just wanted to say something really fast about this game,yes,it's a point and click !! But I believe that for this game,it really works !! I personally love P&C games,they are the first type of games I played when I left the world of HOGs and started looking for a more involved genre of games to play !! Just like P&C mystery games,this game has a nice flow,so far. . . .

It seems to me to have all the ambience of a decently made horror game,you feel creeped out being in this seemingly abandoned rehab hospital. . . I like the subject of the game too,going through treatment for drug abuse,it's a bold subject and could have been taken the wrong way by the audience and could have offended A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE !!
I,for one,think it's an outstanding subject and I believe that there is SO MUCH that can be done with this subject matter and I'm hoping to see way more ideas about it in the future !!

O.K.,about the game itself,it's a fairly standard point and click mystery/horror game. I think the surroundings are pretty creepy,the music lends itself to the feeling of dread,it's very unobtrusive but at the same time,it's always there,in the background,quietly sending out creepy vibes !!

There is plenty to do here and plenty of places to go and doors to enter. . .I've only come across 2 mini games so far and they were pretty straightforward P&C puzzles,if you take your time and observe your surroundings you'll find the answers to the puzzles,but you do have to be diligent and pay attention-you never know what is a clue and what's put there to throw you off the scent !! I think thats one of the things I look for in this genre,I want the answers to be in the gameplay,I don't want them to be so obscure I have to resort to a walkthrough,thats not a fun game,thats a crappy made game and those are the games I delete right away !! One thing I often do with games is I take notes !! Yes,take actual handwritten notes,that I can refer back to and use in case I get stuck and am not sure what to do !

You have an inventory,accessable by the I key on the keyboard,while in the inventory you have the ability to look at everything you've collected,you can turn things around and look at the backs of things,I suggest you should do that,if they give you that option,they do it for a reason and I believe you should take full advantage it. You also have a "combine" ability while in your inventory,as with the examine ability,I believe they give us this for a reason and it's never hurt anybody to try every insane combo you can !! You never know what will work together and what will not,unless you experiment around with your items !!

I'm gonna slide back in game now,I'll repost in this review as I progress deeper in game. . .
