Advantages: easy to navigate, good plot

Disadvantages: slow paced, few puzzles

I bought this game wanting a challeng, thinking is would be full of puzzles and problem solving activites.To be honest i have played the game for sevral hours and have had 3 puzzles. the puzzles themselves where so simple a toddler could have done them, although i hear they get more challenging as the game goes on.

The actual story of the game is quite interesting about an ex-cop and trying to solve the mystery. The main character spends a great deal of time exploring the hotel and talking to guests and staff. In fact the majority of the game it talking, which is boring and repetetive. It is possible to make notes of what has been said during the conversations in a notebook within the game, which is helpful to review throughout the game to refesh your memory of the long conversations.

The controls of the game are easy to use and it is easy to move about exploring the hotel using the stick. It is also quick and easy to save the game at any point in the game.

Overall i think this game is good for people who enjoy a steady pace, deep story/plot, with long winded text to read. I honestly got bored of waiting for the puzzles and of reading the repetivite diologue.
Hope this helps, Emma

Summary: not the best game i have played, but likable
