I’m just now realising that this is probably just a Luigi’s Mansion clone (I’ve never played Luigi’s Mansion)…

This game is such a big one for me - this was one of my favourite games when I was a kid - I used to play over and over again, certain levels like the conservatory and the graveyard are SO engrained in my brain. I used to love it (and probably just go round the same levels over and over again, as kids do) so I have so many stories I’ve created for these rooms.

Like The Hobbit that I recently replayed, I’d never actually managed to finish the game when I was younger (I remember getting stuck on the chase in the Children’s Room for some reason, and had never seen past that point), so this was a really cathartic finish for me.

I really like the theming!! I think they did really well with that, all the levels have a cool concept and the “turning the light switch on” challenge in every one is good fun - plus the combat plays pretty well, if simple. It is very very short though, and only took about 4 hours to do everything in it!

I’ll always have a place in my heart for this game, definitely because of the memories mostly, but I don’t think it’s bad for a few hours escape, even if you never played it when you were younger, and don’t have any connection to that secret bat lever in the first level - or the specific way Madame Liotta says “Order of Shadows” 😭.
