  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring effective navigation mechanics and an investigation element that adds depth to the experience.

    • “One of the better hidden object games (HOGs) with an investigation mechanic that gives it a bit of extra depth.”
    • “In terms of gameplay, this suffers from a lot of the puzzles requiring either a blunt object or a lever but being very specific about what they want.”
    • “There could be more puzzles, and most of the mechanics are 'find something here, use it there' without many of the interesting combinations that some games have.”
    • “In terms of gameplay, this suffers from a lot of the puzzles requiring either a blunt object or a lever but being very very specific about what they want.”
    • “A few recycled mini-game mechanics from other Cordelia games.”
