This game has a great atmosphere. Darkness, shadows, threats, spooks and mysteries will ensure your fun.
No blood, no violence, no death: but there's fear just the same.
Mysteries are not too difficult to solve but... keep ready to run! VIC system seems slow at first but... while advancing through the storyline it reveals to be useful.

I just finished both chapters of this game and I love it! The story line is great and even though you think you know what is going to happen I have a feeling a twist will come our way. playing POV is great and the "chase scenes" are fun as well. This is now my new favorite game. Thank you Sundancer! this game is a blast!

Gamers who scare easily should really not play this Delaware St. John 2nd in the series. The 1st was absolutely scary enough. Actually 2 games in one--The Town with No Name and The Orphanage. Okay, so you got the picture. Anything that is titled "The Orphanage" is simply unnerving.

Minus the bells, whistles and marching band, game stands on it's own merit. Older version game with a story line as both stories are creatively interwoven. You'll just love Delaware, Kelly and Simon! They're here to help within the paranormal dimension. Enjoy! -Mama Mia- Show less

I should note at the very beginning that this is an Adventure (not a Hidden-Object) game; and a wonderful visit it is back to the days when Adventure games were so common and fun. Before I go any further though, I should also note that this game is actually the second *installment* of a trilogy. Each of these installments is called a Volume, and is in fact a complete game in itself. So you don't have to play the first installment to enjoy this one, nor do you have to play the third one. However, there *is* a common thread - an underlying story, so to speak - that ties the trilogy together. So I, for one, would recommend that you do get all three installments (or “Volumes”), to get the most out of this very intriguing series.

Turning to this particular game now... As soon as you click "New Game," you will find that it is actually divided into two parts (or "Stories," as the game calls them). You cannot play the second part/Story until you have finished the first one. I am not sure why the developers had to divide the game this way, because each part/Story is really short and the two could have been combined into a single whole. But they did it perhaps because there is a different and distinct focus in each part/Story. Thus, the first part (or "Story 1") is called "The Big Picture" and the second part (or "Story 2") is called "House of the Damned.” As I mentioned earlier, you have to play both parts ("Stories") to understand the whole game.

As for the specifics... The overall storyline is really quite intriguing and, unlike many so-called horror games these days, actually scary. The gameplay is quite straightforward, with many clues and even a general hint system available to help you. Story 1 is especially quite straightforward and easy. There *is* one puzzle that might alarm you a bit though. It is a chase sequence that requires you to work rather fast to complete the puzzle. But it's really not that bad, once you have figured out where to go. What's more, don't worry about solving this puzzle in your first attempt, because the game will restart the puzzle automatically, without your having to reload a save. Note, however, that a similar “chase” puzzle in Story 2 is much harder to finish in time. So I would highly recommend looking up a walkthrough to solve it. However, you will find that *most* walkthroughs are quite unhelpful in solving this puzzle. One walkthrough even misstates that the puzzle depends on the number of right clicks, as if such clicks were all you needed to solve this puzzle. While you do need to click correctly, of course, the main requirement is speed – the more wrong clicks you make, the more time you lose; but even if you make all the right clicks, you can still fail if you are moving too slowly. So the one and only walkthrough that *I* would recommend is that by Big Fish itself. In particular, note where that walkthrough says how one of the steps can be omitted. Be sure to OMIT THAT STEP! That’s truly the best and least frustrating way to solve the chase puzzle in this story. [You are welcome.:)]

Finally, I should add that you should not let that one chase puzzle discourage you from playing this game. It is truly a wonderful game, and I actually liked it better than even the first installment/volume. And I am sure you will enjoy it too. That is why Show less

I recommend this game!

It is hard to find a game that is not "hidden Object" I like a game that makes me think. It has a good story line and if you have a fast speed internet connection it is worth the large file download. I am a "myst" gamer and I wish there were more games like that.

I recommend this game!

BIG TIME GAMES and SUNDANCER managed, somehow, to pull off a pretty good "spook fest" using just a minimum of personnel.

Granted, the graphics leave something to be desired, and there is really only ONE real person (Delaware St. John) seen in the game, nevertheless, there is an air of pervasive darkness and gloom, apparitions of spirits, and excellent timed chase sequences.

The puzzles were super-easy, but that's a small detail. BIG TIME needs to develop a two or three character interplay in their games. If they do, they will be very big winners! Show less

Just finished the trial version and will not be buying the full one. I found the interface repetitive and annoying. Click on an object to investigate and a long phrase plays out that you can not skip. So when you click on another part of that same object checking for clues and more info it plays the same phrase every time all the way through over and over - annoying.

Click on an object to investigate and a long phrase plays out that you can not skip. So when you click on another part of that same object checking for clues and more info it plays the same phrase every time all the way through over and over - annoying. There are a lot of doors in the beginning, most of which are locked. But the "click" of the lock is accompanied by "It's locked. The door's locked. Door's locked. It's locked. Surprise, it's locked." Over and over and over and over again. When you do actually get a "puzzle" to solve it's a lame crossword that a child could do. But it was the interface and voice over that really turned me off.

I don't recommend this game.
