  This is not a new game. I have played it about 5 times, (as i also own it over on Bigfsh) I really love it though ; great story ,great humour, really a fun adventure with tons of puzzles, game. The puzzles are not difficult; the answers are basically in clues scattered about(in true adventure game fashion). It's really important to play its successor; The Turning Thorn for a more complete story.

  Really good. More of a puzzle game than a hidden object game it had a good plot with a more mature story line which is nice since most of these casual games are teen oriented. My one complaint is that the production values were pretty sparse with only occasional music or SFX. This reduced the spooky atmosphere but didn't ruin the game. Recommended!

  I had this on a game wishlist from an old computer. Picked it up on sale. THERE ARE NO HIDDEN OBJECTS IN THIS, it's more like a point-and-click adventure game with the Hidden Object-style look/interface. I play these for the "light mental gymnastics" and a certain mix of spookinses and campiness. The initial mystery is intriguing. But the latter half is, I think, SEVERELY underclued (I clicked the "hint" button and thought...Now how the heck did she know this was supposed to be that? And never found the part that would have led me to thinking her same thoughts). A relaxing way to pass a few nights, but doesn't make me jump for the sequel.

  [b]Nightmare Adventures 1: The Witch's Prison[/b] (Adventure-lite) [i]December, 2018 review update[/i] TL; DR - Just skip to the final paragraph ;) Options include Full-screen and Custom Cursor, plus separate sliders for Music, SFX and Brightness. One difficulty, and no achievements. I first played this game in January of 2012, and absolutely adored it. There are elements of the game that did not hold up well - such as the graphics - but it's still a very good adventure-lite, so read on! Cutscenes are short and to the point. To get the full story - including the prequel to the game's intro - you'll need read the blurbs in your journal ([b]PDA[/b]) often. There are no spoilers in there, and no hints for puzzles, so read with no worries! You will find journal entries periodically, which will also expand on the story. There is a refillable [b]HINT[/b] button (does not discharge with directional hints), and puzzles can be [b]SKIPPED[/b]. There are no instructions for the puzzles, but using a hint will help... Just be careful with it, as sometimes it will give away part of the solution, ie. "I think the first line should read..." Whenever these came up, I wondered how our character could possibly know that info. *shrugs* I am not the most observant person in the world, so I may have just missed something. Any time you come across something of interest (that will help you solve puzzles), you will automatically take a picture of it, and it will be stored in the [b]PHOTOS[/b]. When you solve the puzzle the the photo(s) are linked to, they'll magically disappear, leaving only helpful pictures behind. Gameplay is point-and-click exploration, experimentation and puzzle-solving. The puzzles themselves range from not-so-bad to this-is-going-to-take-a-while!! If you'd like the game to be a bit (OK a LOT) more difficult, try taking notes and not using looking at your camera! Some of the puzzles are real doozies! There is [b]NO MAP[/b], but you only have access to a small number of locations at a time, so there's [b]not a lot of backtracking[/b]. I REALLY appreciate that the devs took the time to explain [b]WHY[/b] things we try won't work. THANK YOU, Ghost Ship! I cannot tell you how irritating it is to be told that I can't do something when logically it should work just fine! "I can't quite get it with my fingernails," is enough of an explanation to keep me satisfied. Something else that I appreciate is that almost every item you click on has more than one response, and the second click usually had me giggling... There's even a Monty Python reference in there! We have one hidden object scene in the game as a parody, too. Very cute. *snicker* Perhaps the most impressive thing about this game is that it was made by a small studio, with [b]a two-person team[/b]. :o A quote by Tim of Ghost Ship Studios: "We are a tiny team, and not really fully grounded in the world of casual games as yet." A game of this length and quality from such a small team? AWESOME! In closing, this is a high-quality game for its time, and although the graphics are dated, the gameplay, story and puzzles are very good, and still enjoyable today! Recommended both to the casual-gaming crowd and point-and-click lovers~!

  Originally released in 2010, Nightmare adventure series is an adventure puzzle game. The story about Kiera Vale, a young woman who wants to discover her ancestor's history after receiving a letter from Alton Quinn, she decided to search for her birth parents, which lead her to Blackwater Asylum. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2015872719 The artwork is very nice, giving you an eerie atmosphere along with the soundtracks, unfortunately, the game doesn't have animated cutscenes or voice-overs, it relies on images and block of texts to tell the story. The good thing that the game is puzzle heavy. If you are looking for some original puzzles to solve this game will please you. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2015872163 The journal is nice, it keeps track of the story and events. You also have a camera which you took photos of anything that looks off, those photos serve as hints to solve some puzzles. There is no map which means there will be a lot of backtracking. Thankfully the game is divided into multiple areas with five or six places to search in, once you are done from a section you'll be traveling to somewhere else and won't be able to go back to the previous area. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1209190567 Pros: +Interesting story. +Good but dated artwork. +Variety of puzzles and riddles. +Good journal. +Taking photos to help with puzzles. Cons: -No map. -No voice-overs. -No animated cutscenes. -Soundtracks sometimes stop and you play with nothing playing in the background. -No steam achievements. I've played this game when it first released, playing it again on steam is fun. I do recommend it to people who enjoys puzzles and don't mind the dated graphics.
