Nightmares from the Deep: The Cursed Heart (Won on SteamGifts)

This is my first introduction to the Nightmares from the Deep series and I like it. Problem solving puzzles are easy enough in the beginning but can get really weird after the first chapter though they are simple enough for a point-and-click noob like myself. Puzzles also involve quite a bit of backtracking.

Some puzzles allow you to choose between item finding or Mahjong puzzles. Mahjong puzzles are easier to complete and thus my favorite. The item finding puzzles can get really tough even with the use of sonar to outline the shape of the objects (using hints are NOT needed). Graphics and cutscenes are blocky and below average and the story is average (typical zombie love story). Game can be beaten in 3-4 hours but has to be replayed just to get the other 50% of achievements.

Worth a dollar or two if you’re into this genre of games but I believe it’s more worthwhile to purchase it in a bundle given the dated graphics.
