Betrapped is basically a Minesweeper game with Clue elements (the master of the house is dead and you are to investigate who wants the new mistress dead).
Sure it's a really old game, so the visuals are bound to be poor for those who prefer more realistic or artistic designs. The storyline and dialogues are also a bit cliche at times, but it's not like I was expecting much from this decade-old game to begin with. What was funny about the game was actually getting to see just how many different kinds of "traps" (both likely and unlikely) a room can have in a mansion. The inspector himself even lampshades how unbelievable it is at the very first level, so players really shouldn't be taking it too seriously. Gameplay can be a bit tedious, but there is a reason why people like playing minesweeper after all.
I would recommend this game for those who enjoy minesweeper - as a form of relaxation or causal mind exercise - with a bit of a plot to it. This is a game that I still remembered after I first played it online a decade and a half ago; I still remembered not knowing the ending and ending up searching and downloading it just to find out after all these years.
Like many other reviewers, I really would appreciate seeing a sequel of some sort.
I recommend this game!
