Definitely not for anyone who isn't fond of very dark content. I wish there were more like this! Can't figure out how to say more without going into spoilers - but the plot did not disappoint.

There's a basic pattern through most of the gameplay. Minigames repeat - to me, they seemed to get harder as they went on, but then I might've just been staring at the screen for too long. Was not in love ...Show more

There's a basic pattern through most of the gameplay. Minigames repeat - to me, they seemed to get harder as they went on, but then I might've just been staring at the screen for too long. Was not in love with the reverse-puzzle Hidden Object-ish scenes (although they were refreshingly different). However, I really enjoyed the many jigsaw-type puzzles - the art was fantastic,and the puzzles definitely made the most of it. The general pace was spot-on.

Hints are limited and can be increased by finding magnifying glasses in various scenes, which is a big plus. At the easier level, there is no penalty for multiple clicks on HO scenes, so hints are a last resort. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have played Big Fish games for many years now, yet have never felt compelled to review a game, although they have all been very high quality games. I am partial to the dark themes in hidden object games, so naturally I was drawn to Redrum. But it certainly is bounds above other games of it's type, if it can be grouped by type at all.

I have played Big Fish games for many years now, yet have never felt compelled to review a game, although they have all been very high quality games. I am partial to the dark themes in hidden object games, so naturally I was drawn to Redrum. But it certainly is bounds above other games of it's type, if it can be grouped by type at all. Redrum is an exceptional, twisted and dark game sure to thrill those looking for not just creepy fun, if you are like me, creepy is as good as you will get but you want something just a little more mature, and when it says mature trust the disclaimer because it is for mature audiences only I guarantee it will leave some people downright haunted by the disturbing imagery if this is not their cup of tea but the rest of us avid horror-seekers it's just what we are looking for... if that's what you want then this game delivers. It has an engrossing storyline with gameplay and forward progression not found in any other game. I cannot compare it to other games, because it is a standalone in it's novelty. Give it one hour and you will be hooked. This is my favorite Big Fish game, and I've been playing Big Fish for years, and come with a long history of video gaming in general. This is the game you have been wanting. Trust me. Show less

This is a GREAT game if you like creepy games! I've seen a lot of horror movies and creepy games in my time, and, call me crazy, love a good scare. If you can relate, this game will be up your alley.

This is a GREAT game if you like creepy games! I've seen a lot of horror movies and creepy games in my time, and, call me crazy, love a good scare. If you can relate, this game will be up your alley.
Not to go too off topic but this game literally gave me a nightmare! lol Instead of the little girl being forced into this creepy place needing her uncle to save her, I dreamt that I WAS THE ONE trapped and my dad was trying to save me! lol It's weird b/c I didn't think it was that scary at first, but it must have scared me more than I realized.
This is definitely NOT a kiddie game! There are certain aspects of slight humor as well to the twisted tale.

The images of the trapped people are pictures that really stuck in my mind!

I don't know if they ever made a sequel, and if they did, why can't I find it.
Broken sequel or not though, this game is most definitely worth playing! Show less

The game surely isn't meant for little children. For me as a horror-fan it was just fine! The creepy atmosphere caught me at once. I liked the graphics and the music. The puzzles were a bit repetitive but I liked them. Especially the "Drag columns and rows"-puzzles were great fun!

I recommend this game!

Didn’t record all the time playing, but it was for several hours. Storyline and superb graphics are DISTURBING AND GRUESOME – that’s what made it a lot of fun (not everyone will think that).

Didn’t record all the time playing, but it was for several hours. Storyline and superb graphics are DISTURBING AND GRUESOME – that’s what made it a lot of fun (not everyone will think that). The evil and insane Dr. Fraud was committed to his own asylum for treatment after redrum. Inside, he created nightmares in 10 patients whom Rose (with the help of her detective uncle) has to save by entering into their world. Very wild and bizarre scenes add to the nightmarish atmosphere. Broody, spooky music interspersed with screams.

Interactive map updates as new rooms are found. There are 2 main branches off a central fountain with a number of locked rooms. You are aided by a crow which brings you helpful items besides giving you a rose for each patient who has been rescued by Rose and her detective uncle (although he is quite playful with one, as he keeps flying off as you are about to collect the rose). Add the roses to the central fountain until it has been drained to reveal its contents at the bottom. Crow will also bring you the means to open up new rooms.

Wide variety of HOS (object list, find 20-30 like items, find section of picture matching those in your tray) and a wider variety of puzzles. Some are quite challenging, but don’t give up. Persistence will pay off – just take a break and see another patient for awhile. Newspaper accounts of the deeds of each doomed patient are outside of the entrances to each room. Graphics are truly nightmarish and imaginative. After rescuing the 10 patients and seeing what the bottom of the fountain reveals, an unexpected disaster strikes. So enter sequel. Show less

I loved the game it was a real challenge.
I did not use the strategy guide so it made the game challenging. I gave up once but went back and enjoyed the game very much. It has some incredible syfy murder graphics and incredible animation. Loved it.
Whoever made this game has one great imagination. Great Graphics ready for the next one

I recommend this game!

This is such a fun, original HOG; it's probably one of the more creative I've ever played. That being said, it's also easily the most disturbing, which is saying something in a genre rife with cemeteries, ghosts, murders, demons, and wacky asylums. Be forewarned!

This game gave me the creeps and I'm used to some really sick stuff. It's definitely not for those who have weak constitutions or those who get upset by nasty thoughts. It's kind of old school, but totally unique. I'v never played anything like this EVER. It's going on my Buy List, but for when I'v got an extra credit since I'm limited on what I can spend money on so I pay for the guaranteed long games. And I use my free game codes and credits on nifty strange games like these. I can't imagine it could be that long seeing how big the area you can search is. There's just one location with different rooms to open up. But I could be wrong, it could be the longest game ever for all I know, I'm just basing this on past experience. If you have an extra credit or if you aren't strapped for cash buy it, after you try the demo, because it is totally an acquired taste. Show less
