Richard Gray has been summoned to the Astral World, a place where the souls of those who have not accepted their past mistakes come to face their inner demons. Richard must undertake three trials to purify his soul and determine his past, present, and future destiny.

I have mixed feelings about this game: 5 Stars for the story but only 3 Stars for the cookie-cutter gameplay and the lack of adventure aspects. I'll give this game 4 stars to show my gratitude for bringing back our beloved Richard!

The story drew me in and drove me to finish it, but the game mechanics were simply more of the same. More purses that required shaped motifs to open, more statuettes to find, adorn, and replace, more rusty latches to make shiny, more dirt piles to dig up, more locks to pick, more missing zipper pulls, and more shaped emblems to find and replace on every door, drawer, cabinet, and hidden cache imaginable...but still, the story drove me to endure all these cliche tasks because it's Richard we're talking about here!

Who doesn't want to know more about Richard's past life? (including Richard, it would seem).

Anna is MIA until the Bonus Chapter; the entire main game is about Richard and how his past Dark Art decisions affected his entire family. The plot was a nice change of pace, and I loved getting to know Richard after all these years.

Speaking of decisions: At one point in the game, Richard had to fill out a medical form. When asked what his occupation was, he wrote "Dark Art Consultant." I thought that was hilarious, so from now on, when asked what my occupation is, I have made the decision to say "Dark Art Consultant" from now on. 🤣

Bonus Chapter:
Anna assumed that Richard was at peace until he contacted her with an urgent message to meet him at the Gray family mansion to stop his father's evil plans. This is an average-length Bonus Chapter spanning over eight additional scene locations. There are 5 Mini-games, 4 Hidden Object Scenes, and 3 mini HO scenes available. You will search for the final 3 Artifact Wishes and 8 Astral Signs, which allow you to complete the Jigsaw Puzzle.

Collector's Edition Extras:
19 Scene Locations (+8 in the BC), 10 Wallpapers, 1 Screensaver, 5 Music Soundtracks, 13 Replayable Puzzles, 13 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 22 Achievements, 12 Collectible Artifacts of Wishes, 27 Astral Signs that convert to fragments to assemble a Jigsaw in the Secret Room, an Expedition Room to return to the scenes to search for any missed collectibles, and a Built-in Strategy Guide.
