I absolutely LOVED this game! Despite the playtime registered it took me 6h:45m to complete, but this was spent offline while travelling.
I had just finished Terror at Oakheart and was looking for something similar and this more than fit the bill!
Where to start? At the beginning I guess. I really liked the premise and concept, it grabbed me from the off and never really let go. The story was strong throughout.
I LOVED the Easter-egg type references to the movies that inspired it, and it is a testament to the wonderful pixel artists that I was able to recognise the tiny pixelated movie posters - great job!
I did find the antagonist a bit annoying at times - the way he could spawn right next to you at times, but I soon learned that if you kept stocked up on food this was bearable (no pun intended :).
As well as great graphics the sound design was BRILLIANT - I particularly loved the strangulated sounds some victims made. The game was full of humour, and I found one hilariously brilliant easter-egg just by chance (think of the age old struggle between men and women in the bathroom).
I also found a bit of help along the way. The 'heating engineer' had extremely deep pockets (at least during my playthrough).
The puzzles were not too taxing - apart from one end game one, which required a bit of trial and error - but they were all enjoyable.
Finally, I have to admit I almost shed a tear at the end!
To sum things up, when I love a game I always look to see what other games the devs have released and I was over the moon to see they had made a prequel (Sunshine Manor) so this was an instant purchase and I cannot wait to play this, and will keep an eye out for future releases from this team.
