...and wanted to say how impressed I was with this first effort from such a small group of people. I didn't expect the polish. Not only does it have a good story and wonderful graphics, it has a complete and satisfying ending, which so many games fail to do. Sure the doors were a bit confusing, and I would have liked to have heard more Celtic music, but those are minor things. I really had fun walking through the paths, adored the colorful results from solving the puzzles, and enjoyed the extra little touches - don't want to put in a spoiler. Although I generally like third person games and this is first person, I think this is one of the better games to come out this year.

Yes I liked this game .I liked the story and it had a satisfactory ending .I have been told by another boomer that this is what the houses were like with a lot of doors .Very confusing at times but they did do the doors differant colours . got to me a bit but all in all a very good game .You had to have the time to follow it you could nt just play 10mins .It is a game I found where I had to concentrate

I envy you guys! I guess I don't have a poor sense of direction, I have NO sense of direction, kept getting turned around and around and constantly losing my way. I was faithfully using MaG's neat walkthrough and still couldn't find my way so I finally had to give up. I so would have liked to be able to play this game, too. Poor li'l me!
To love is to be happy with!

I also am looking forward to their next game. I have a friend who has a house with many doors, so it didnt bother me a bit.

You have to have a good sense of direction to play this game.. I got lost a few times..Make the wrong turn & your lost.. The interface was the problem for me...I can never get used to playing these kind of games... All & all...A nice spooky game..

I agree this is one of the better games I have played this year-- great graphics- made you think but wasn't a killer. I will also keep my eye out for their next game.

Took me forever (2 days off and on) to find the front door and get the key. I'm inside now and about to go into Malcolm's study. I don't like all these doors, but can't stop playing. Hope I'm up to the task. I like dialogue and feel kind of lonely. Teddo

If it's any help this game is now included on the Universal Hint System, great for the moments when you have no idea what to do next.
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

I finished the game a few days ago & thought the story & ending was wonderful! But, I just couldn't get on with the way it played through, although I enjoyed the second half a lot more than the first when it started to make slightly more sense. The environments & atmosphere made the gameworld quite immersive & I think this is a game that I would enjoy playing much more a second time!
