This is NOT a HOS game, It is an Adventure Game, but not an extremely difficult one.
The HINT setup in this game is very good and will aid you through the game, if you need it.
Give this game a try, you might enjoy it. The graphics are very clear. Even through there aren't any voices, the game is still interesting and moves along well.
I recommend this game!

This is by far one of the best games I have played in a long, long time.
It has a definite "creep" factor to it. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.
There aren't any gory dead bodies to deal with, just a scary, creepy game environment.
Thank you Developers for putting together an excellent game.
I recommend this game!

This is an interesting and challenging game to play
Upon starting the game, you will be asked the Screen size that you want to use. (You can change your screen size any time that you start the game). It only takes a few seconds to make the selection and you are ready to play. One suggestion I have is to be sure to "turn off" the Windowed mode. That way you will just have black surrounding your playing screen.
No the game screen does not completely fill out my Monitor, but once you get involved with the game, you won't even notice the smaller screen.
There is music -- many of the CEs that I have played lately are "silent".
Some of the Puzzle Instructions are not clear -- you have to do trial/error or you can "skip" the puzzle.
This may be called an "Old School" game and not be "State of the Art" (by today's standards), but is is a good game with an interesting story and variety of scenes.
There is a HINT button in the game that will point to things that need to be done within the scene, but it will not tell you where to go next. The HINT also works in the HOP scenes.
No there isn't a Map to indicate places of interest/actions--it is a "figure it out for yourself" type of game.
This is a very good game to play and well worth a free game credit.
I recommend this game!

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game.
Several people had problems playing this game, everything went just fine for me. I'm running on a regular PC using Windows 8.1. I guess I was just lucky. Try for yourself; hopefully everything will go OK for you to
I recommend this game!

I found this game rather dull in comparison to prior House games. This game just didn't live up to being a CE either.
Maybe this series should be retired.
I don't recommend this game.

This game held my interest all the way through. It was interesting and fun to play.
For a SE game, this game was exceptional in story, clarity and character voices. The Hint really aided when you wanted it. Another nice feature was being able to search for bonus items; this is not usually found in SE type games.
I hope this Developer creates more games.
I definitely recommend this game to beginner players and those that just want a nice game to play.
I recommend this game!

This is by far one of the best games that I have played and I have played over 200 games on this site.
It grabbed me from the beginning and held my interest all the way through until the end. Even the Bonus game was great.
Since others have gone into great detail about the game, I do not see the need to repeat what has already been said.
Try it, and I'm sure you will agree that it is a great game.
I am running Vista and did not have any problem with the machete disappearing.
I recommend this game!

I guess I'm going to go against the crowd. I did not find this game exciting or really worth playing. It just did not grab me as most games do.
I actually enjoyed playing the Bonus Game, more than the CE game that I paid for.
Just my opinion.
I don't recommend this game.
