As Mortimer Beckett was relaxing in his home with nothing except every day business and problems, a letter delivered to him will soon become his greatest challenge and problem too. The letter that he received contained a request and a plea for him to visit his uncle’s mansion to search for him as he is apparently trapped by the ghosts that hunt the house and the only way to help him is collecting all the pieces of the device he left behind to get rid of the ghosts. You haven’t seen your uncle for more than two decades but still you accept that invitation and head up to help your uncle. There are a couple of rooms that need to be explored, and there is a list of items that need to be found in every room to finish it. You start in the boiler room and basement cellar by finding pieces of objects scattered around the scene. Like said, there are a couple of different items which must be found but finding the items is much harder as it seems. Now finding an item as small as key in such a dark and full of other items room is pretty difficult itself, but the game developers thought why not split items into additional pieces? So you will be looking for a key for example in three pieces… Once you collected the items you need and stored them in the inventory you then decide what to do with them. As there are two types of items you need to figure out which are misplaced items and which are puzzle items. When you collect all of the misplaced items you take them and bring them to the lost place, like a sculptures head which is in pieces and you collect them all and bright the head back. When it comes to the puzzle items they are meant for interacting with other objects in the room you are in or another room in the mansion. You need to use those items you have to get to other items you need. When you return the misplaced items you’ve been awarded with an item you are searching for, mostly parts for the machine that you need to assemble. In some instances you won't be able to complete the room until you retrieve an item in another room on the same floor, like the ghost of the women that is sitting in the kitchen. She wants a piece of cake, and you must find all the pieces of the cake. After that you will find an item you need to continue. If you start clicking all over the screen in a random search, after couple of wrong clicks ghost will start showing up and blocking your sight in the room, and sometimes a ghost will stick on your pointer and then you have to shake it off. After the game play evolves you will soon find yourself in a puzzle item solving, but which are chained more and more to each other like greasing a grinding to stone to sharpen sheers you assembled, which in turn will allow you to trim rose bushes and find another clue. This will provide a fun circling item search. As you can see this game is quite a seek-and-find focused. You will soon discover that you collected almost all the parts for the machine, but still some remain. If you get stuck with an item there is a hint system you can use to help you in the search for it, but you have to be careful and use it sparely. This game offers atmospheric graphics and ghoulishly fitting music, too, which you will see with items blend in the background in some cases almost undetectable. Gamers who enjoy a real challenge will discover it here, as you will see when advancing from floor to floor, the game difficulty increases in a very nice degree. The games music is recorded in a limited soundtrack, but with its spooky additional effect on the game it blends perfectly. All in all we have a game with a really nice theme, even if not desired as before, but this game turned out to be one of the better ones in its genre.
