An English Haunting

A delightful Victorian romp with gorgeous pixel graphics and gramophone music. Some moon logic and pixel hunting, I recommend a walkthrough to smoothen the experience unless you're into that.

Nice game, not very long (about 5 hours) but it was clearly made by classic horror enthusiasts. I would have appreciated some voice acting.

Great point and click game. Beautiful pixel art and animations. Set in 1907 in England, the plot follows an investigation into the disappearance of a collegue, as well as investigating paranormal phenomena. You visit a range of locations and the puzzles are about right in terms of difficulty. The game is quite dialogue heavy, but I enjoyed the dialogue and the characters (my only gripe was there were a couple of anachronistic Americanisms in the English). The music is a selection of real music from the time period. I can't wait to see the next game from Postmodern Adventures, he has been making the best point & click adventures in recent years, always with spooky/paranormal stories.

TLDR: A deeply atmospheric, classic-feeling point & click adventure experience with solid puzzles and a good story with a likeable cast of characters. An interesting evolution from the creator's previous title "Nightmare Frames". This one feels more refined and confident, more consistent in tone and more of a piece with the best of the 90s classics. That said, if you ask me it was also a slightly less interesting or original premise. Character portraits are gone, but sprite animations improved. The controls have been further simplified to a single action button which I'm not sure I like, but worked well enough. I enjoyed the writing. It's a well crafted gaslit London pastiche, smartly embracing the strengths and weaknesses of the point and click adventure formula. I liked the main character and many of the people he runs into. One could nitpick the odd scene as feeling a little out of place (I'm mostly thinking of the meeting with the fiance's family), but overall I think it hit all the marks. There's a few plotlines that get dropped a bit too abruptly as the story moves on. Puzzles were never frustrating and rarely entered (though maybe a small handful of times got close to) moon logic territory. With only a little bit of tenacity I always found my way without any outside tips and never really felt frustrated. The graphics are beautiful retro pixel art with plenty of animation to them. The score is made of (I assume public domain) music from the era which adds to the atmosphere, but to me was a bit of a downgrade from the beautiful (I assume bespoke) synth wave soundtrack from "Nightmare Frames".

me encanta este tipo de juegos y la banda sonora un 10

Wow, what an adventure! This game was WELL worth the price for a GREAT point and click game with pitch perfect haunting-story vibes. Again, the progression of the story was incredibly well done and all of the characters were great. This was very well researched. At first I worried having historical figures in it would make it all obnoxious but that was far-far-far from the experience I had. This studio is such a gem!

I love this game so much and we REALLY need Chinese
