Possession 1881

Worthy addition to the 'Escape the House' genre. Game is lovingly crafted by a small development team with pleasing art and sound effects. Environments focus on a Victorian style house, with a past. The game is divided into separate rooms, each with stand alone puzzles to solve in order to exit to the next. There is no backtracking. There is a high level back-story that is told through notes found throughout the house. You stumble upon several corpses but, for the most part, there are few horror elements. The mechanics are a hybrid point and click. You click to move in a designated direction but then can pan, full circle, from your new view point. The environment is very detailed in each room and it is unusually dark until you start using your torch to light lanterns and candles. There are no timed sequences so you can play at your leisure. There are a fairly limited number of hot spots in each area so you can quickly assess what information you have as possible clues to solve current puzzles. This makes the game fairly easy for experienced puzzle solvers. My only sticking point was towards the end where I misinterpreted the environment and thought I had solved a puzzle (which I had not). I'd recommend this game to those who enjoy the escape genre and like casual puzzles. Although I enjoyed my time spent playing Possession 1881, I prefer to have clues implied rather than given (conceptual rather than outright). For me, this makes a game more challenging and engages my mind in a different way.

It all around a pretty great experience. The puzzles are intuitive. The atmosphere and sound is very well done and you will be thoroughly entertained throughout your Journey 😉😊

https://youtu.be/nQH9SMO8mbA I really hate these "Stuck in a room and click on everything" games,I think they are a lazy excuse to skip certain aspects of creating a horror game like fun, effort, and creativity. 90% of the time you sit in one area clicking on 200 objects only to realize that 197 have nothing to do with the puzzle and instead the solution was some far out idea that you only get through trial and error. But ya know what ya little bastard? You got me. You got me to enjoy the game. There is something special here that sets its apart from other "Look at this boring ass room for 2 hours" games and that's this little thing I like to call progression. See, most games like to work in this format where as you complete an area you progress and are greeted with new challenges all the while getting more and more bits and pieces of the story. "♥♥♥♥ this one room" games tend to skip all that but just leaving you to click and read, read and click. The puzzles are not very difficult but are still creative and challenging enough to keep you engaged throughout your play through. The environment is dark but not stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dark where you cant see anything in front of you. Story line isn't anything crazy new or excited but its got a classic demon possession/control/opps we ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, vibe to it. On the other hand, albeit few, there are downsides. First of all the price tag is a little high for a game that takes a little more then an hour. One of the puzzles requires a lot of trial in error, unless I REALLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and missed something obvious. A few of the sound effects are jarring especially on the dials of puzzles that make a loud high pitched click when turning them. You have a unlimited torch but have to keep relighting it for some reason which gets to be a bit obnoxious after awhile. The camera angles are generally good but sometimes to move around you have to back track around the room instead of moving from one camera to the other across the room. https://booze-and-boos.com

This game is reminiscent of many of the classic point-and-click games from the 1990s, like Phantasmagoria, Shivers, and 13th Guest. There is no dialogue, only random letters/journal entries cataloging the events that occurred. Some of the puzzles use trial and error and a good bit of logic. No hints are available and even watching a playthrough on YouTube can be a bit frustrating. The game does deal a great bit with the occult and demonology, so if you're skittish about such things, I wouldn't recommend playing it. Also there will be some spots of dried-up blood. There is no ambient music except for one particular room where it's expected, but the ambient sounds are enough to make you feel on edge. Had me a bit jumpy a time or two, expecting something evil to pop out. Nothing ever does, but still, I was expecting something to.

Please add russian language!!! Игра в стиле Myst и The Room- (логические загадки, механизмы). Но... Купил эту сразу как прошел "The House of Da Vinci 2" и здесь прямо бросается в глаза: - кривое управление; - не проработанный интерфейс; - берешь предмет, а показывается его описание (без предмета, хотя в инвентори отображается); - бюджетность в каждой детали; - русский язык нужен (история, подсказки, ...). Рекомендую данную игру купить только после того как прошли все аналогичные игры (все The Room и House of Da Vinci, Riddlord: The Consequence, ...). Таких игр все равно мало, может и русский язык добавят.

We had an enjoyable playthrough of this on stream, we struggled with a couple of puzzles but only because we missed some information hidden in plain sight or got the wrong idea. There was an interesting storyline that successfully builds tension without any real danger and we must admit the horror element was very low. Some beautifully rendered settings and clever ideas in the puzzles make this a worthwhile entry for a short but effective escape the room game. We felt the ending could have been a little more elaborate and shocking as it ends quite abruptly and with little explanation as to what you've actually seen. Could be designed this way though to provoke discussion.

One of the better "room escape" puzzle games I've played. Good range of physical, musical, and cipher puzzles. Well-presented Victorian theme. Interesting story but at ~3 hours, abrupt in execution. Was a short but fun ride. The devs have been very receptive to feedback and made improvements even while I was playing it so my suggestion is if you're into atmospheric puzzle games, wishlist it and buy with the next update or a sale.

I am a big fan of games like The Room and it's sequels. That being said, this is not up to that level of game. The environments feel kind of dead (not in a good way) and I don't feel invested in trying to figure out what is going on because I don't care about any of the characters. The end felt rather unsatisfying. This almost qualifies as just an asset flip. One particular puzzles solution I only got because of a walkthrough. I would definitely say it isn't worth full price (I got it on sale) All in all I would give this a miss.

It was entertaining and CHALLENGING. It is a great puzzle game and I can not wait for the next ones!!! Great atmosphere and sound. I enjoyed getting out of all the rooms, especially the lab. The last room had a great surprise.
