Less on Scares, More on Puzzles

User Rating: 8.3 | The 11th Hour PC
By 5UPERMARIO | Review Date:
This game takes place inside the same mansion as The 7th Guest. The mansion is more dark and detoriated than the previous game, and your character uses a flashlight while he moves around. The gameplay is exactly the same as The 7th Guest. Pointing and clicking along, you must solve puzzle after puzzle in order to continue on deeper in the mansion and figure out more of the story.

+ Puzzles are well thought out, seem new and fresh, fun to solve
+ Graphics are extremely well done, still hold up today 10 years later
+ Creepy dark atmosphere successfully achieved
+ Multiple endings

- Less supernatural than The 7th Guest, could have been ALOT more scary
- Some puzzles may get too tough and you need a walkthrough
- Lacks a "Personality", game is very bland compared to The 7th Guest

Many fans of The 7th Guest will still have fun playing this game, it just very much lacks the charm and personality of the masterpiece it tries to emulate.
