Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome Collector's Edition

[h1]This game is one of the best HOGs[/h1] seriously, yes it's pretty old now and is quite annoying to get fullscreen to work but the game makes up for it in its story and puzzles. [h3]Story[/h3] There are reports of young people going missing over the last few weeks on the news. You play as Sam Wilde, an investigative journalist. who was supposed to go on a date with his girlfriend Anna. However, when Sam arrives at the meeting spot, Anna is nowhere to be seen, there is just her ring and a letter reading that she has been taken to Goldvale Manor, and to go there alone if you want to see her alive. The game has you traversing through Goldvale Manor, all the while being taunted and made fun of by a man who called himself Oscar, Anna and the other missing young people's kidnapper. Oscar has speakers spread throughout the mansion to be able to speak to you from his hidden command center. while traversing the mansion, you can read crumpled notes from Oscar's childhood and newspaper articles that reveal his past, motivation and mental state. Sam also has his own notebook (as he's a journalist.) where he writes down his feelings and responses to whats happening in-game. [h3]Gameplay[/h3] well... it's just like any other Hidden Object Game. click around, solve puzzles, and appreciate the artwork. [h3]VA[/h3] The voice acting in this game is... meh, apart from one. Oscar. His voice actor clearly enjoyed his role as he played it to perfection, he really sounds like a maniac who enjoys kidnapping and embalming his victims into "works of art". [h3]Bonus Chapter[/h3] This game does have a bonus chapter that unlocks after you beat the main game. it's about 1-1.5 hours long and acts as an epilogue to the Sam vs Oscar story, with an unexpected and good twist at the end. If you don't want to play the bonus chapter and just want to know what happens, here: [spoiler] In the end, you shut off the power to the abandoned theme park and Oscar rises from a hatch in the ground. However, Oscar has put himself into one of his own embalming tubes and it begins filling with the embalming fluid. Oscar monologues about how he has already called the police, and he will embalm himself to frame Sam as the original kidnapper who kidnapped and embalmed all the other young people. Sam is framed and arrested for all the murders and kidnappings.[/spoiler]

Great game, chill puzzles, diverse difficulty levels! Never felt bored nor overwhelmed.

a big thumbs up - a fabulous game i could not see the point of hints they did not help only the map to let you know about remaining puzzle and hog games and locked areas and you need the map to trace your way through i love this sort of genre but you cant just press a button to know where to go next you need to remember thats what makes it so awesome

Bonne histoire, bonnes énigmes, mais carte complexe
