fromI like that the scissors break, and the batteries die because they are old. At least its a reasonable explanation as to why I discard a useful tool after one use!

This is one of those old school games that you'll either love it or loathe it. The graphics aren't all that great, but they are decent enough to make the game enjoyable, and the iconic old school vibe, adds to the mystery. You can choose the difficulty level from Easy to Nightmare, and all information is logged into your Journal. There is a jump Map available, but it doesn't have icons that tell you which location has an available task, at least none that I noticed.

I was really getting into the storyline, and it has some really good features, such as collectible Wooden Crosses to give you extra Hints (you can also combine 3 elements in a row, I'm assuming in a mini game, to add hints if you run out, but you start out with several hints and I never ran out to find out specifics of this feature) The crosses aren't easy to find either, I'm not sure if they aren't available in every scene or I just didn't always spot them! There are also Conversation Choices at times to make, and the feature I loved the best, was that my decisions actually matter. By this I mean, if I choose the wrong decision, it's GAME OVER! Yep, you must make life or death decisions, so choose wisely! You may not even notice that as you progress, there will be save points, which are automatic, and if you make the wrong decision, you will start back at the last saved position before the incident, how cool is that!!

The Broken Deal is about a woman who remembers nothing about her past, a woman branded with unknown symbol stigmatas on the palms of both of her hands. The last thing she recalls is an old asylum (of course) so she boards a plane and heads to Blackburn, but her destination never arrives......or does it?

The Hidden Object Scenes are all Interactive List finds, at least in the demo. They are decent enough, and the graphics are clear enough, nothing special, but nothing horrible either.

There aren't a whole lot of mini games in the demo, but they really aren't that bad in my opinion, I found them to all be doable and entertaining. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Rotate the knob to set the radio frequency using the light brightness as your clue.

2) Turn all cells green within 14 moves without intersecting cells already lit.

This game probably isn't going to win any awards, and it's certainly not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I really like the mysterious plot. I've already used a PCC to buy the game because there's just something about this story that intrigues me, I've gotta find out how it ends, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

A for-sure buy for me -- I enjoyed every minute of the demo. This isn't the usual wow-you-with-our-graphics, too easy/hand-holding kind of game we usually see on offer. Great storyline so far, pleasing and not over-coloured graphics that suit the mood and story, loved the sound effects, too.

A for-sure buy for me -- I enjoyed every minute of the demo. This isn't the usual wow-you-with-our-graphics, too easy/hand-holding kind of game we usually see on offer. Great storyline so far, pleasing and not over-coloured graphics that suit the mood and story, loved the sound effects, too. Uses for found objects is logical (so far), decisions you make as a player affects what happens next as another reviewer has already noted. Love the atmosphere -- very well presented. I can't wait to see what happens next.
I highly recommend you give the demo a try to see for yourself! Show less

Like a good book,,,,you just can't stop, sinister, challenging, didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I have. Very good story, that messes with your mind...that's what we all need in a good mystery anyway....isn't it?

I recommend this game!

Desperate to find a way to medically remedy the horrendous stigmata and nightmares, Anna Stewart begins to look for the reason for her childhood suffering, which she knows nothing about (Diagnosis Unknown)! Her way lies through a small town from where she got to the asylum. Up to this moment all her memories were as though wrapped in a white shroud. What happened to Anna in her early childhood? How will she cope with what she releases from the chambers of her past? This SE adventure takes around 4 hours to find out but it's well worth your time and money, or at least use a game coupon. I recommend this homage to old school HOPA. Cheers!

Features:
•Stunning graphics
•Exciting story
•Fully interactive environment
•A variety of mini-games
•23 quest screen
•20 mini-games
•9 Hidden Object Scenes Show less

Wow, I was shocked to see a Hidden Object game being offered on a Wednesday. Usually it's a puzzle, match 3 or a time management on sale. Anyways, the game in question is an old school, no hand holding game that totally makes you use your gray matter. The graphics, sound and mechanics all seem to be of good quality.

This is a fun and challenging game. Yes, it is old school but that just adds to the story line and challenge. I have only played part of the demo (I just died) but I am resurrected! So now I just have to know what happens next. It takes a little while to figure out some of the things that need to be done but the instructions are very good and helpful.
Try this game and enjoy

The game has all the good elements,the story line was a good tale.A mother with a sick child,makes a bad deal...going against her judgement and wishing she hadn't done it,too late.
The mini games were harder than usual and the hops were really good.Good story line.

I recommend this game!

I love the old adventure games but it seems more and more difficult to find one without the HO element ( which i hate). This DOES have some HOS but you can click around really quickly to get through them.

More of these, please. Lots of puzzles and a very eerie, creepy feeling. Enjoyed every minute. Finally a game that made me think extra hard. Not sure why I had an extra key when the game was over but apparently didn't need it. I highly recommend this game!
