I took my time today writing this review for a very good reason. I actually wanted to play this game beforehand and write something a bit more in depth. NO spoilers!
Amazon is so very kind to gift America a fairly entertaining game entitled The Secret of Grisly Manor. Not without fault which I will explain in a minute, the game is a graphical marvel with simplistic functionality to boot. Don't expect a Myst-long puzzle adventure, though that would have been welcome. Instead something you could chip away at while waiting in line at the DMV or knock half out while on the train headed to work.
It all starts off outside the mansion. You'll notice that your HUD is equipped with a satchel allowing the brief storage of keys and tools your find throughout the game. You'll occasionally see a green back arrow for certain scenes and a Menu button. That's it. The Menu button takes you to the Options menu which is just sounds and stuff. Once in the game, your mission is simple, tap the hell out of the screen in an effort to find stuff.
By the time you get going you'll feel like all you're doing is going from Point A to pick something up, to Point B to use it and pick something else up, then Point C to use that and pick something else up. It gets a little predictable. The ending will remain a surprise. Hit the link below to swoop up this Myst-ish knock-off from the Amazon Appstore for Android.
