It's ok, I'm enjoying it because the story is crazy and amusing. There are a bunch of rooms to unlock by doing HOGs and jigsaw puzzles, each room contains more HOGs and jigsaw puzzles which give you items needed to 'solve' rooms. It's all pretty easy.
Borderline recommend at a sale price $4 or less.
I did hit one bug which forced me to reload and skip...
This is not a good game. The graphics are low-res and amateurish, the gameplay is repetitive, and the game crashed on me a few times. The jigsaw puzzle sections are particularly frustrating (impossible to see what you're doing with such a small work surface, and pieces occasionally don't snap into place for no particular reason). It's also not scary...
Cartoonish, with a lot of words. Not an atmospheric/scenic HOG at all. More like a moving comic book with creepy music. Not represented accurately by the pictures in game description. Nothing like other Redrum and not even fullscreen.
Absolutely loved this one. Not your typical HOG. It gave clues and you had to find the item in another scene. May picture puzzles each getting harder. So if you don't like picture puzzles don't gt this one. Surprise ending.
a very creepy and entertaining HOG.
Pros
long gameplay time ( around 3 hours and 45 minutes)
very nice story
creepy suitable music
tons of HO scenes
cons.
repetitive puzzles
no bonus story
lot to read
not a lot of animation
overall i do recommend this game.
i give it 7/10 +1 for the cards =8/10
