Ratings and reviews

Overall a really good game. The puzzles mostly made sense. There were only three that I had a problem with: two with simpler solutions you can't use (why would you melt ice in a bucket when you could just stick the bucket outside in the rain?) and one puzzle that required a mechanic that was never mentioned or used prior to the one time that it is used (how was I supposed to know that I needed to use multiple fingers at once to tap multiple things or that the game would even recognize it?).

The puzzles made sense, I got lost on one or two, but easily found answers by taking a short break, coming back with fresh eyes, and figuring it out. The final step of the bucket one was a little unrealistic, even for a ghost story game. Controls and graphics were mainly good. I paid $1.99 for the full game, well worth it. There are a lot of comments about the anti-climatic ending, which is kind of true, but it ties in the story well. Overall, had a great time playing this game.

I've never played a horror game before because I'm a weenie, so I feel like this was a good intro. The whole mood of the game kept me tense and anxious. The puzzles were challenging, but not impossible, although I did have to check a walkthrough a couple of times. So far I've loved every Glitch game I've played. This one was fantastic. Worth the 0.99 for the full experience.
