    Description
    Adventure/puzzle game based on the books by John Saul. The game has stylish design and a strong story, sustaining tension well. You play a character named Oliver Metcalf who must rescue his son from an evil ghost, who also happens to be Oliver's father. The action is set in a haunted insane asylum, where Oliver's father had once been superintendent. There are some 20 or so rooms and each can be viewed from several positions. As well as exploring, you must also talk to the ghostly patients who will help you, usually for the price of doing something for them. A good selection of challenging puzzles are also incorporated, some of which are timed. A tips system is on hand to help if you get stick. The game employs good graphics with lavishly detailed backgrounds.
