It won't allow me to click the stars, I blame Explorer...
Anyway, I agree with every positive comment that has been left so far (yes, I actually took the time to read them). The telephone is a nice trick, heh. I don't dare leaving my phone number. As several others, I was forced to play with the sounds off, because I don't need a panic attack this close to dinner time.
I love the realistic graphics, and yada yada as everyone else said. I don't mind the time limit, seeing as people would have to play it several times to get it anyway. And I see nothing wrong with that. It took me 6 tries to find all 10 marbles. That last one on the bottom floor is VERY clever, I think 98% misses that one, heh.
One critique I do agree with though, is that there should be more to it, than simply strolling around in a haunted house, looking for marbles. Though with the time, it's not really possible in this beta, so I'm very excited for the release of the new and bigger game you're making. I will be waiting on December 21st, that's for sure.
Thank you for a great experience.
