WeaknessesLow lighting in places makes things hard for some. The puzzles are relatively easy and a secondary element, so hardcore puzzlers might be left unsatisfied.
StrengthsA gem of a set with flawless use of space and meticulous detail. Strong performances and an atmosphere that puts the player in the role from the first minute. Friendly, supportive GM.
SecurityNo safety issues were reported by players. Low visibility and movement across a large set require caution, but the staff guide you properly.
Level of fearThe horror is intense, with screams and a tight atmosphere; your heart rate spikes. Not recommended for children or the very horror-sensitive.
Actors' gameReviews mention powerful voices, well-staged acting, and fun interaction. The team constantly feels a 'presence' without it becoming overbearing.
Quality of riddlesThe puzzles have good flow and are fair, but tend toward the easy. They support the story rather than overshadow it, with clear logic and nothing far-fetched. The low brightness mostly affects comfort, not their fairness.
PlotIn Torryburn, Scotland, in 1899, you receive a letter from your grandfather-mayor Charlie Brown to break a deadly curse that threatens everyone. Time seems to freeze and something lurks, yet you decide whether to cross the gate.
Difficulty levelSuitable for teams seeking atmosphere and story with gentle, clean puzzles. Those chasing high puzzle difficulty may find it easy, while the darkness can make movement harder for beginners.
