What players say

Players enjoy this fifth entry in the series for its bite-sized two-hour mysteries, retro graphics, and clever writing. The setting in a 1920s gothic hotel stands out, and repeat players appreciate that every game refines mechanics like riddles and mini-games. Some note movement is arrow keys only with no WASD option.
