Only played this because is was on ONLIVE play pack. Looked interesting till I began playing. I don't play many Adventure point and click games, which is where I would put this, but decided to try this one. The game play is a little spooky in a good way, the sounds give the spookiness an extra boost. The story line is intriguing. The problem I have with the game is the puzzles and movement. The point and click is not very smooth and you have to move the mouse all over the screen to determine if there is anything you need to focus on or pick up. I am not sure about other games of this genre but the thinking screen is really difficult to figure out. When you right click then left click on the brain a window comes up with all the clues you have found on the left side and a blank window with small blank cubes above it. The idea is to move clues to the small blank cubes in order to combine them and then click on the "think" button to determine if you can come up with a solution. About 20 minutes into the game I had to find a walkthrough to see what all I needed to find and combine. In my mind (maybe I'm stupid) but none of the clues made any sense to combine. Maybe if you are experienced in Adventure/Puzzle games this is easy, but not for me. Way too much brain strain for me to consider this fun.
