Overview

When a longtime friend contacts you to visit him with the utmost urgency, you arrive to find a troubled man haunted by visions of his recently deceased wife. When he suddenly dies under suspicious circumstances, you become the main suspect in two inexplicable deaths. Framed for two murders, and with a tenacious investigator on your heels, you race to decipher the clues that will lead to the true killer and prove your innocence. However, you soon uncover something far darker and more dangerous than you could have ever imagined. Stay one step ahead of the law as you enter an uncharted paranormal world to reveal the truth. Solve daring puzzles, and play surreal mini-games as you follow your instinct to survive and find peace. With a ghostly spectre as your only ally, can you keep your sanity as you venture beyond the limits of reality?

I love hidden-object games, but this one is awful. There is nothing except hidden-object scenes: no puzzles or mini-games, nothing. Just one hidden-object scene after the other. And they are not good -- there are bugs with not clicking the right pixel even though you pick the right object, and very poor quality control. Too many scenes where you need...
