5.0 out of 5 stars Fun game with an unusual flaw
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2012
Platform For Display: PC DownloadVerified Purchase
The premise of the game is that you live in a world where horror movie monsters are real, and they are actors. The dialogue is unusual but humerous and the vocals are well done. The interface works well and the "Hotspot" feature is nice for learning the genre. If you are truely stuck they do have a clue feature that will help keep you moving.

The unusual problems come in when trying to play it from Amazon Download. First make sure you install it by running the setup from the download folder (Setup) by selecting Run as Administrator.

1.) If you have a multi-monitor (extended) setup you will need to either disable the second monitor or change it to multi-monitored (Mirrored).

2.) The initial run from the install will work properly but with Windows 7 you may run into an issue where the game will not start from the desktop shortcut explaining that the install was not completed properly and you need to re-install. Right click and change it to compatability mode Windows XP SP3.

Once this is finished you should not have any problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute waste of time.
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2016
Platform For Display: PC DownloadVerified Purchase
Absolute waste of time. I purchased this too quickly, without checking reviews, because the price was only $2.49. I know I wanted the game, so I didn't bother. Turns out I should have looked, because the game, as a few other reviewers stated, doesn't activate. The given code comes back as bad. I tried everything... standard activation and manual activation multiple times. Nothing worked. I even rebooted.
I wrote to Amazon and asked for a Steam code, to see if it'll go that way, but I guess that isn't an option in this case because they just refunded my money, as a 'special case'.
The game is marked as 'not refundable' and 'not returnable', but Amazon is awesome like that. The customer comes first. Amazon has never failed me, even when the actual selling company tries screwing me. I doubt Steam would even be that good, and I love Steam too.
This game is not a "must buy", so I won't even bother trying through Steam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun story with decent challenging adventure play

Fun game with unique and humorous story and a clever ending. I didn't have any download problems. I did have to look at walkthroughs a couple times but that only detracted a little bit.

1.0 out of 5 stars No DRM really means broken SecuROM DRM (makes me sick)
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016
Platform For Display: PC DownloadVerified Purchase
At the top of the store page - DRM: NONE. That's a lie. This game uses SecuROM, which is one of the most disgusting, gamebreaking DRMs around. I bought this game here because I prefer DRM-free, but I got the greatest demon of DRM instead.

As others have said, the code is broken and I even tried to fix it talking to... eww... SecuROM. They gave me the runaround and didn't listen to a thing I said. Evil company and Amazon supports them...

Interesting thing is that it's already been proven that DRM encourages piracy, while DRM-free lowers it. Indirectly, this would mean SecuROM supports and makes money from piracy...

1.0 out of 5 stars Activation Code
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2014
Platform For Display: PC DownloadVerified Purchase
I downloaded and installed the program with no problem. When I started the program, I was prompted for an activation code which was provided by Amazon.com. I received an error message stating my activation code was not in the database!!! I tried several times without any success. I would proceed with caution when ordering any game requiring a mfg. activation code. Bottom line--I'm out the money for the purchase!

this game didn't work at all for me so I couldn't play it. I put the code in and it didn't work. I tried everything that everyone told me to do.

I can't get it to run on 8.1. It may run on windows 7 but not going to try due to the 4GB needed for the program.

Donot buy this game! It seems as if the Activation Code that you receive can no longer be activated. As another reviewer wrote: a waste of money
