Return to Grisly Manor LITE

I have done all the games by fire maple, and I have to say that this one is my favorite. The storyline and puzzles were all super interesting. I highly recommend doing this or Crickety creek last, having done the others you will appreciate these two a lot more.

This is a very solid game, in that it runs flawlessly and the game updates according to your progress so it prevents any confusion. It is very straightforward: you solve a puzzle and then go to the next, often by using an item somewhere or by doing an actual puzzle. I bought the full game from this "Free" version, I should've just bought the regular version. This is a pretty great game for younger people. It would probably be an excellent first game for a point and click adventure.

Fire Maple is one of my favorite developers out there! They, along with MediaCity and Lone Wolf Games, make the most entrancing escape adventures, which encourage intellectual stimulation where one will think critically for him/herself. The premise is unconventional and refreshing as it is void of "copied and pasted" ideas. I feel myself mesmerized by the impeccably untarnished graphics, which draw considerable attention to detail. The colors reflect soft and subtle shades to induce a mild and pacifying ambiance. Navigation is fluid and effortless. Using your journal entries and collecting clues to solve puzzles contribute towards an innervating experience. The only negative aspect is that I wish a teleport map would have been included to allow one to directly jump to a desired location in order to save time and obviate consistent breaks in concentration. If you are someone like me who abstains from using hints, this game is lengthy and satisfying. Can't wait for their next one!
