I agree with Zookeeper on this one, just finished this game and being an adventure gamer 1st, I found this game fun to play because it was on the adv. lite side, great story, spooky at times, great puzzles, some to hard for me to solve and had to click on the Skip button (then again, I am a wimp), and as for the HOs, yes there are a lot but not nearly as many as Pure HO games and not as hard to find to the point one quits playing the game out of frustration and sore eyes/headaches.
And yes I agree as to the ending lending itself to a Sequel and I really hope they do make a sequel to this great game.
