Thanks, Ana.

I just found out that the developer of this game is Artifex Mundi, creator of Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek, one of my favorite IHOGs. Downloading the demo now.

Thanks Ana and Marian,

This is a good game. Played 20 minutes of the demo and I'm buying it. Very interactive. Choice of finding Hos or Monaco puzzles. Little monkey as a helper. Puzzles are good. Story is good. Only played 20 minutes but it looks like it may get even better.

Thanks, Gail. I downloaded the demo and liked what I saw; I then used a punchcard coupon on the game.

Hi, Marian!

I just finished playing the demo and really enjoyed it, so I'm also going to use a punchcard coupon to buy it.

Agree. This is a very good game. Spooky story, lots of locations, nice balance of HO scenes. HO scenes are interactive and not too difficult. Puzzles are also fairly easy. A pretty long game for a standard version.

ETA: Almost missed that there's also a bonus chapter. Unusual for a standard version game. And a satisfying ending as well.
