Challenging...

So the game is very challenging... and not always in a good way. There are no instructions and no hints, which in a way is fine because it makes you explore and figure things out on your own. But as another reviewer stated, things start getting nonsensical and theres no option for even a small hint to help you decipher the games internal logic. One example: you have to find pieces for a grandfather clock in one of the rooms. You get them all, except its still missing its pendulum. You could search forever for this pendulum, but youll never find it. However, something already in your inventory (something absolutely nothing like a pendulum) can substitute for the missing part. How would a player ever know this?! In addition, as the game goes on there are more and more doorways and rooms and sub-rooms. None of them are marked in any way and theres no map, so you keep going from place to place trying to figure out where youd seen something that you now need. And once you finally find the area, you sit there like a dementia patient thinking, "now what did I come into this room for, again?"
On the positive, the graphics are well done and aptly creepy for an app of this title. I liked small touches like tapping on certain objects in some rooms causes a voice or a visual effect. It could really be a great game if the logic behind tasks wasnt so random... or at least give the option of a hint every now & then.
