There are also some frame rate issues and loading times which are long enough to allow you to have power naps in between. The vision sequences prove to be another load of hardships, especially when you are trying to find an item you need on the ghosts, where awkward controls and movement let things down. This might have been a better option here with Black Mirror because at times camera angles and the odd movement of the main character can hamper progress. In old point and clicks the character would stay still and only move when you point at an item of interest. The actual walking around and finding of the items can be tricky. And whilst I’m on that subject, this might be a good point in time to talk about the control system, and what works and doesn’t work so well. Gameplay wise and this is a very nice device that was enjoyable to play through, even though the controls do at times get a bit sticky.

It is here where you’ll need to watch a scene play out in a loop, trying to gather clues from the vision, while not getting too close to the ghouls in case they attack him. There are some sequences in which David travels to another dimension, letting him see ghosts of a past event. And when I say stuck, I was there for a very, very, long time before things started to click. There are very decent puzzles to be had, which can test your brain to the max, but all the clues are there if you look around carefully enough. There are also a few QTEs that can be slightly painful to action. You can pick up certain objects and place them in your inventory, where you can look at the objects from all angles and discover the clues hidden within. You walk around the space, examining all the objects and points of interest, building up a picture of your environment and narrative. The gameplay is set about as a pure point and click old school adventure.

The story follows his journey as he discovers dark family secrets, murders, occult bloodlines and strange occurrences. You play as David Gordon who arrives at his ancestral house in 1926, following the tragic death of his father, before being left to work out the strange goings on in this creepy house and its surrounding grounds. The game starts with an anxious prologue in which you play as a man on the run through the Scottish Highlands from some dark presence the end result is a disaster and that is where the main story kicks off in full.
