I just love indulging in a good-ole spooky, hair-raising movie. Being able to stay home, safe and sound, to watch one is ideal; but feeling like I’m taking part in a captivating cinematic adventure is even better. This game’s a real screamer, and it is enhanced by well-rounded supporting components: mesmerizing plot, authentic characters, eerie scenery, and stimulating gameplay. You play a paranormal investigator who explores an abandoned, decrepit old movie theatre in search of a missing person. The clever idea of jumping into varying film reels, each having its own distinct subplot, helps maintain a refreshing storyline, as does the changing scenery. The environmental designs evoke a brooding atmosphere; the pyrotechnic special effects provide some jump moments, as ghastly apparitions often jump out at you from every angle. MadHead’s characters always exude true-to-life personalities; I usually end up becoming emotionally attached to them. MD’s eccentric gameplay is ubiquitous throughout the adventure, ensnaring me into a creative diversity of entertainment. The inventory is interactive and puzzle-like. The HOSs are creatively executed, as such with the one in which you find a floating object in accordance with a pair of clues in a book; then you get snippets of the backstory. The puzzles are simple and brief and suit your objectives. You do need to carefully observe the scenes to find the well-camouflaged collectibles. Gameplay is flawless, showcasing the adeptness this developer (FF) is known for. I thank FF for releasing this game to all the dedicated fans of MadHead to keep their legacy running. I rate this game as two thumbs up!
