Well, I guess I am "odd man (female) out". Either you like it or you don't. "I like it". Found it rather interesting. The screaming only lasted for a while. I guess you have never watched a scary movie, where you hear blood gurgling screams, like deep bubbling noise that liquid makes when it is poured from a bottle the whole entire movie. What about that? Any way it's a game not a marriage.

I recommend this game!

This is one of a series of HdO games by Anuman which judging by other reviews people either love or hate. They certainly do things differently, and some objects get lost in translation. Tub, in this game, can mean anything from a jerrycan to a copper pan or a rusty barrel, and at one point it lists canvases when you need to click on cobwebs.

This is one of a series of HdO games by Anuman which judging by other reviews people either love or hate. They certainly do things differently, and some objects get lost in translation. Tub, in this game, can mean anything from a jerrycan to a copper pan or a rusty barrel, and at one point it lists canvases when you need to click on cobwebs. But if you do get to like the way the series does things, this just becomes part of the game.
My other favourites in the series are Around the World in 80 Days-The Challenge, The Three Musketeers-D'Artagnon and the 12 Diamonds, Aladin and the Wonderful Lamp, and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde-The Strange Case.
Public Enemies Bonnie and Clyde I found difficult and boring, and 20,000 leagues Under the Sea-Captain Nemo didn't work at all for me.
Secrets of the Vatican-The Holy Lance - I've played the trial hour and I'm still undecided whether to buy it.
By Googling Anuman I've found the whole list of this series, and though at first I was disappointed at not being able to find all of them on Big Fish, given the variable quality of the ones I have found maybe I haven't missed anything!
Instructions in Frankenstein could be better, I don't think it tells you anywhere that you can zoom into some screens with your mouse wheel, and this is the only game in the series, as far as I know, which confuses you with lots of arrows in scenes rather than leading you to the next location.
Game length is usually less than 3 hours, and in replay less than 2, but as I said, if you happen to like the series these things don't matter. Show less

I recommend this game!

Let's face it. We play games to have a good time, and this one delivers.

Yes, it is clunky compared with the more sophisticated games we are offered - the ones that we forget and become indistinguishable from one another.. The kind when we keep looking for certain shapes to open drawers, etc. etc.

I'm not sure why anyone who looks at the bare bones description of a game whose two main characters are named Brad and Janet and expect anything other than a mixture of horror and humor - you might call it Rocky Horror.

I'm not sure why anyone who looks at the bare bones description of a game whose two main characters are named Brad and Janet and expect anything other than a mixture of horror and humor - you might call it Rocky Horror.

I am cool with the HDO format personally. Yes, it is dark #which the developer knows - they recommend you set your computer as bright as you can#, and yes, the objects are small, many of them, But you know where you are with the format. You have clear consistent instructions. The only thing I might miss is the ability to use a hint to find out where to go next - but you don't really need that, because you just need to check all locations till you find one that has instructions at the bottom, and that's the one. And sometimes the dialogue will give you a clue.

The mini games are not complex, but there is a real incentive to do them - especially as you get farther into the game and the stars to add to your hint supply stop showing up as fast.

I actually thought it was restful, and I needed that today, so it was a good match for me. Show less

I recommend this game!

Okay, I'm juvenile. I liked this game! Sometimes a person just wants to play a short, innocuous game, and this fits the bill. I liked the silly, cartoonish characters and the inane comments. Also, since I'm a "mature" person [all right, I admit I'm a grandma - got a problem with that?], I really appreciated the fact that I could enlarge the screen when hunting for some of the smaller items.

Trying to see the HOs was my greatest problem with this game. Some scenes are too dark and squinting at the monitor doesn't help. The plot is silly but that was expected. And with some scenes having 3 or 4 arrows... I didn't always know which way to go so ended going in circles. That got old fast.

Well the title sounded interesting so I decided to try the game out but I simply could not last more than 25 minutes.

The graphics are average but the scenes were very dark, the music overly dramatic & the background sounds sort of ok; screams, ticking clocks, the type of thing which matches the subject matter; but they did get tiresome.

Well the title sounded interesting so I decided to try the game out but I simply could not last more than 25 minutes.

The graphics are average but the scenes were very dark, the music overly dramatic & the background sounds sort of ok; screams, ticking clocks, the type of thing which matches the subject matter; but they did get tiresome.

The hidden objects were tiny, not very well drawn & hard to find & although there is a magnifying glass which helps; when you moved the scene in magnify mode it was very jerky. When there is an important object it will be covered by a light, sometimes if you click on the object it will disappear & behind it will be other H0 items, sometimes it will be an item to add to your inventory.

There were only a couple of mini games during my short demo & there were too many icons; you can’t just click to swap squares or turn them, you have to click on an icon to determine which move to make then click another icon to make a different type of move.

The main character is quite cartoonish & keeps having weird things on his hair, first it was something that looked like a big drop of water, I couldn’t work out if it was supposed to be sweat or a Bluetooth ; then what looked like lightning bolts (presumably he was having a brainwave). At the point when a brain appeared & started talking is when I threw in the towel & stopped the game.

It is a shame the graphics & the way the mini games are played are not better as this could have been a funny game to play; it is obvious that the writer has a sense of humour.

However I cannot get past the fact that it is awkward & clunky to actually play so it is a no buy for me. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I've never been a fan of HdO click and drag games, they are all the same, with a slightly different storyline. Brad Lupin has been looking for his wife Janet, who disappeared several months ago when he was in Europe on a reporting assignment. After a lengthy search, his investigation leads him to Bavaria, and his car breaks down in front of a mysterious castle. Before Brad can knock on the front door, he hears chilling screams coming from inside by a damsel clearly in distress....

The graphics are actually fairly decent considering how old and low budget this game is. As with all HdO games, every scene has a Hidden Object Scene which allows you to zoom into any area of the scene as well as being able to click and drag the scene about as you struggle to find some items that are unrecognizable. There is a penalty for random clicking, and there are two modes of difficulty, one that is a Normal Timed mode, the other gives you more time and extra hints, but is still against the clock. Each scene has hidden stars that can be collected for extra hints or extra time depending on the mode of difficulty you chose.

Between chapters, you get to play a jigsaw type mini game where you click icons to move square tiles horizontally, one that allows you to swap puzzle pieces and another to rotate the pieces. These puzzles are surprisingly entertaining and not as simple to solve as you would think. I couldn't help but think of the Rocky Horror PS every time I heard the names Brad & Janet. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

This has to be one of the worst hidden games I have ever played. Thank god I didn't pay for it, I would of been upset to pay to be bored, when was it made in the late 70's. Not even worth the time to download it.

I don't recommend this game.
