Not a lover of horror or being scared out of my wits! Downloaded trial version and I felt compelled to help the young lady escape from the ghastly environment in which she was kidnapped and held against her will. The trial version does not give gamer any idea of the truly gripping story line that the full version developed. The art work is stunning! Was on the edge of my seat the entire game!

I recommend this game!

This is my newest favorite! From start to finish, the storyline is very engaging. This is a psychological story, but I don't think it's creepy or spooky. The way it starts is unique. Your character has psychic abilities and is being experimented on at an asylum. When you discover that you're going to be exterminated, you frantically begin the journey to get out of there.

This is my newest favorite! From start to finish, the storyline is very engaging. This is a psychological story, but I don't think it's creepy or spooky. The way it starts is unique. Your character has psychic abilities and is being experimented on at an asylum. When you discover that you're going to be exterminated, you frantically begin the journey to get out of there. And so your quest begins...!
The visuals were just right for this type of game. I don't recall there being a lot of audio since dialogue segments were read. I would have liked some VOs, but no game is perfect.
There's no map which is fine because you don't need one. The game is broken up into different floors of the asylum which you get to by elevator. You do, however, have to do a lot of backtracking. So if you don't enjoy games like that then this might not be the game for you. The backtracking really didn't bother me since the story was so compelling.
There's 2 modes of play, and I chose advanced. I'm guessing that I got about 7 or 8 hours of play. The HOS were sometimes repeated, but again, the story more than makes up for that. The hint button was awesome! I used it in the HOS a few times and also when I was truly stuck in the game, which was about three times.
Outside of HOS, the hint doesn't tell you what to do but rather
where you might want to look. I really liked being able to solve the problem with minimal help.
This is a fun pleasant game. The puzzles are solvable without being frustrating, and the ending leads me to think there may be a sequel! I hope so. If I had known how fun this game would be, I'd have gotten the CE.
May the odds be ever in your favor... Show less

I recommend this game!

Breath-taking graphics. Very good characters. Though not terrifying, this kept me in tension and on the edge of my seat to the very end.

Very interesting and original plot, sustained by the main character, who has the ability to enter photos and untangle past events - a bit like Drawn from this point of view. The other characters are equally intriguing, as they posses special abilities. ...Show more

Breath-taking graphics. Very good characters. Though not terrifying, this kept me in tension and on the edge of my seat to the very end.

Very interesting and original plot, sustained by the main character, who has the ability to enter photos and untangle past events - a bit like Drawn from this point of view. The other characters are equally intriguing, as they posses special abilities. Philosophically, all the characters in the game fit very well together and work as a team - rather than the classic mode of being a detective, you are part of the story and the only one who can solve a well-organized injustice, in the non-police kind of way.

Great for intermediates and experts.

All in all, this game felt very human and realistic. The only thing that bothered me was having to go back and forth all the time to find the needed items. But, hey, not all the asylums have hidden passages or shortcuts.

I still wonder at times if the plot has some strong, real reference points.

Anyway, take a good grip and press that play button. Show less

The storyline is very interesting - a girl trying to escape from a dark asylum (I know it's not the first one, but it's still different). The sound and graphics are very good. The HOS are clear. The puzzles are challenging. I map would have been useful; I had to use sometimes the walkthrough, because I didn't remember where to find a special room.

I got caught up in the suspense and the music really added to the spooky atmosphere. The horrendous notes left lying around by the staff really nudges the imagination. I found a few of the puzzles were more difficult than expected. I like the challenge. I don’t like to be held by the hand, but the hint system was very welcome and helpful when I was just stuck stuck stuck. Even though the asylum is a common denominator for a lot of HOGS, this game outdoes the others. Keep 'em coming. Show less

Looking for a H.I.D.D.E.N O.B.J.E.C.T. game that gives you the C.R.E.E.P.S? Look no further because this game has mastered the heart pounding, unnerving gotta escape the asylum before it's too late genre. When you have an extraordinary paranormal gift, it may very well be just that, a gift, B.U.T. it could just as easily be a curse! Because of your "gift" you have been experimented on, tortured, even used for criminal purposes, and now, you have been marked for extermination! If you're going to escape this filthy prison, you'll have to use your "gift" to escape the condemned asylum. Problem is, your conscience won't allow you to leave knowing there are other tortured patients who are scheduled for extermination, behind, hopefully it's not too late for them!

This may be an older game, but it doesn't matter, because the graphics are meant to be grainy, gritty, and plain old creepy, and I liked it! The Hidden Object Scenes are simple list items with no interactions, but all of the HOP's have items you would expect to see in an abandoned hospital, old, dirty and unkempt. The Mini Games are also in tune with the game, my favorite game was quite challenging, having to find the one x-ray that was different from the others. At first the x-rays are obvious, by the third set it isn't so obvious.

The Collector's Edition of this game, is the only one I know of that let's you play a "slice" of the Bonus Chapter, which is really cool in my opinion. The Collector's Edition also has Wallpapers, Concept Art, Music, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, either version is a must have game for fans of this genre, enjoy! Show less

Creepy noises and eerie music are the perfect background for this asylum that has imprisoned people with supernatural abilities. The angels were a lovely touch and I actually had a chill when Icarus was released from his cell. Great story line. Wonderful graphics. No VOS, just text. Lots of HOS which were challenging and non-interactive. Puzzles were pretty hard, and some I didnt understand what to even do, but the skip button is pretty quick. Hint button for all phases of the game. Task list. You do re-visit some HOS, but I didnt mind since some were well hidden. Lots of exploring vis a vis the elevator, once you find all the buttons. Quite a few seek and find and challenges of what to do next. Long game, over 6 hours for me on casual play. There IS a cliffhanger ending, which is probably resolved in the CE, or hopefully, leading to a sequel. Try it, you'll like it! Show less

This game was a little creepy and I loved it! I'm looking for something similar but haven't found it. Escape fro Ravenhurst was equally great. This game might be a little too creepy for younger players.
