House of the Raven by Craig Dutton

Review by Scarlett Phantom

Bits and pieces of this are... not helpful. It's a good game with a fun story that might belong more in the horror genre than it does fantasy, but there are parts where the game becomes difficult to play. If you miss a certain detail, you might not examine an object more closely, which could lead to you missing a very important piece of the puzzle. That irks me, honestly. There are two times I can think of where it did this, though there might be more (my game froze): the zombie and the wax figure.

Overall, I thought this was fun. There's a lot of mythology in the rooms as well, and I really appreciated that. It was a cool touch. It's also pretty difficult. Honestly, I got stuck quite a few times. Some of the puzzles didn't immediately make sense to me, but that was probably because I didn't completely read all the descriptions or forgot details.

Would I recommend this? Yeah, I think so.

Enjoyable, but difficult in places.
