The quirky graphics could have been the best thing about this game if only they hadn't been so dark. Beyond that, Queen_Mab said it all for me, so I'll just refer you to her review.

Maybe it gets better after the demo, but I'll never know.

The graphics are excellent, clear and lifelike. Sadly, they're the best thing about this game. The rest of it is an illogical mess. I constantly needed a hint to know where to go and what do and ultimately, I gave up.

When my granddaughter was very little, instead of saying she was tired, she would say she was "too busy." That's how I felt about this game. There wasn't really anything to criticize about it, and the graphics and acting were really very good. But it kind of wore me out. It felt like being at a carnival where the rides and the lights and the barkers and the clowns and the calliope and the organ grinder's monkey never stop, and you can't even slow down long enough to have a corny dog and a Coke.
That said, I recommend you try it. Just because it wasn't to my liking doesn't mean it won't be to yours.

I was confused the entire time and couldn't figure out one thing to do without getting a hint!
The best thing I can say about it is that the graphics and coloration are really good.

A HOPA with the emphasis on Puzzles and More Puzzles

While there are some objects to find, they are often things to be used in working out a puzzle, or else you have to work through a puzzle in order to find the objects. I dislike puzzles and want to skip them all. Unfortunately, more often than not that isn't possible in this game.
On the positive side -- the graphics are good, the story is intriguing, and the acting isn't awful.
As always, try to before you buy.

I don't like puzzles and like to skip them all, which left not much to play with in this game since it's almost all puzzle-adventure and very little hidden object, but if that's your cuppa, go for it. I'm giving it an extra star, because the acting isn't wooden.

"I really liked the graphics in this, but have to say that is all. The gameplay was boring and tedious, the usual going back and forth and collecting of mundane inventory....and puzzle parts.
"The real displeasure is there are way too many puzzles in this and hardly any HOS. I couldn't finish the demo because of it. I only came across one HOS in the time I played and encountered an overabundance of puzzles. It is not what I consider an enjoyment to be spending all my time with puzzles. There is no balance in this. TOO MANY PUZZLES is why I will not be purchasing this game.

I dislike puzzles and skip them all. I do like HOS. This game is almost all puzzles and adventuring back and forth, and very few HOS. However, on a positive not, the graphics are really amazing!!
if you like puzzles and adventuring and amazing graphics, I think you will like this game, therefore I will recommend it. It's just not my cuppa tea.
I recommend this game!

I hated every minute of the 20 minutes I played of the demo. After that, I couldn't take any more. I'm not one who is creeped out by scary, disgusting scenes, but this was beyond the pale, and not what I expect from this developer.
I don't recommend this game.

They need to get a new voice actor for Dupin, because he sounds like a teenager, and he can't act.
Overall, considering acting, graphics, and story? This game doesn't hold a candle with any of the early Edgar Allen Poe games.
I don't recommend this game.
