Root of Evil

Heared about Syberia 3, and as I am short of money anyway,
I will wait a little while before I purchase.
In the meantime I "found" (it was there all the time )
a nice game on Steam that has somewhat the atmosphere of
"Layers of Fear" (though not as graphically refined and
with a great deal of lock combination puzzles, but also
a couple of clever ones)
The game has been made by a single person!!
If one is willing to overlook some amusing miss
translations ("the handle break") one might have
a nice time for only 7 Euro's)

So far I really like the game.

Thanks for letting us know about the game, Rob. There are so many games released that it is often hard to keep up.

Anyone interested can find the game here on Steam.

It was a lucky find, I had never heared about it, and yes there are way to many new games out there .

I learn of new titles almost every day, so it's always appreciated to read recommendations from our forum members.

THanks, Rob!

Have been playing all afternoon.
And there are a couple of nice walkthroughs
on the internet too! I found this out
accidently

I found this game about 6 months ago. $4.99 on STEAM. For a low budget, 1 man project & a price of $4.99 it's a steal!! Good puzzles, dated graphics but they get the job done, some really good scares & super creepy atmosphere. The story line is surprisingly good & the ending ties it all up with a little bow. If you like horror adventure, puzzles & jump scares....grab this one!! it's no BLACK MIRROR but for the price it's worth a visit to this creepy house.

I totally agree with scotty!

Have finished the game yesterday
(even solved a clever tile like puzzle )
and it was refreshing not to have to check
endless cabinet drawers for a while, they are
there the drawer thingy's but almost none
are accessible)

The best buy I made for some time!
It may be a dark game, but it brings
it's own flashlight!

It sounds like a lot of fun! Congratulations on finishing the game.

And thank you for telling us your thoughts about the game as well, Scotty.
