RAHHHHH I LOVE FMV CUTSCENES
A truly incredible capsulation of the sort of cheesy goodness of '90s horror gaming, with an added bonus of extremely fun gameplay and a mystery that fits the vibe perfectly. Big fan :^)
simple game but addicting, I had to play it in one go. The story is also quite entertaining!
GAME OF CENTURY JUST LOOK AT THE TRAILERS OR PLAY THE DEMO BEST GAME OF ALL NEWGAMEPLUS HAS HUGE REPLAYABILITY
I never thought to enjoy THIS MUCH a solitaire game, and i was not expecting THIS. Is simple, long enough to avoid bragging it too much. Simple and yet so much darn fun, with a story that is perfect in his... well, simplicity! Play it, is absolutely worth a try. P.s. Without mention the 80's/90's videogame/tech aesthetich has been more than nailed. I really hope to see more.
In general, pretty cool. Creative,and even though I don't always get why the hell I won, it's not like i'm complaining. The framing as a meta game works well too. So yeah, I'd say a success all around.
Another perfect casual game, even got my non gamer gf to play and she liked it!
I can't recommend this game enough. First off the art style is something I absolutely adore in this game. It really does a good job of encapsulating the feel of one of those old CD computer games, especially with details as minor as the start up logos (I Spy Spooky Mansion will live forever in my heart as my fav, even if it's a childish pick). The game play of course is also something I consider to be really addicting as it takes the typical solitaire frustration of having to end a full combo and giving the player many alternative to keep it going for just a bit longer. The battles and stealth section also introduce and amplified need to think about what you'll be leaving yourself with next turn as well as current which is also quite unique. As for the story, I think the horror game approach to this game is quite refreshing. Most solitaire games are made with a relaxing intent while this one has a horror/mystery twist that I really fell in love with. All in all I would say that this game is pretty decent and that anybody who likes horror, solitaire, or even just a 90's art style should give this game a try. TLDR: Game good
For the fan of Solitaire games, this game offers an entertaining challenge, combining an aditive zigzagging patience with a RPG emulating 90's FMV games and graphics, alongside thrilling combat matches enhanced with jokers and level-specific cards. Although the underlying plot isn't very captivating and feels a bit unoriginal ([spoiler]A thriftstore cd turns out to be carrying a curse from a cult, because a top manager at a sinking company didn't heed an employee's warning, and in the end the player has to battle an entity that might trap him [b]FoReVeR[/b] inside the game[/spoiler]) and some media doesn't seem accurate to the era (like the videos, although good efforts are made with the 3-D CGI), the original rooms of the Forbidden Dungeon and its eye-gouging (wink wink) denizens provide a eerie atmosphere that the dungeon dweller can enjoy.
