There’s no direct offensive actions against them other than running away although if any electric based light source is discovered then this sends them back to whence they came. There’s also a random element of dud matches which heightens the drama when low on supplies, but some times this is another contributing factor to the cheap deaths the game relies on.Īs mentioned the mansion is filled with ghosts who manifest themselves as distorted apparitions often wandering or lurking at key points. The idea might add to the tension if low on supplies but also makes the pacing a bit slow and laborious at times. Interestingly, matches will last longer if players walk rather than run but this slows the game down considerably. The twist here is that matches are limited with only a maximum of 12 being held at any given time, so inevitably should you run out and can’t find any to replenish then it’s pretty much game over and a restart at the last save. Should a match burn out then another can be used and so on. Luckily players can use matches to fight back the encroaching shadows as this illuminates the surrounding area just enough to see what one is doing. The main mechanic employed means that lingering too long in the darkness means death and as you can expect most of the game is devoid of light. Once players get some rest and are able to move at pace, the game opens up and allows you to explore the shady rooms at leisure. For fear of spoilers we’ll go no further in revealing the plot and simply focus on the gameplay here on in. There’s actually some interesting dialogue delivered as players click on various objects which somehow stand out amongst the mono tone looks which presents a gripping tale of murdered women and wolf like killer on the loose. The opening is just the start of the incredible levels of cheese associated with a character that constantly talks to himself often stating the obvious for dramatic effect. Except the only building near by is a deserted and naturally haunted mansion.
