The game features fantastic graphics and a spooky atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.
The story is engaging and includes entertaining elements, such as a recurring antagonist and intriguing mini-games.
The game offers a variety of puzzles and hidden object scenes, with adjustable difficulty settings to cater to different player preferences.

The game is notably short, with many players completing it in under four hours, which is disappointing for a Collector's edition.

Some puzzles lack clear instructions, making them frustratingly difficult to solve without using hints.
