Pros:
- I liked the spread of puzzles this time around! Though I did skip some just because I understood it enough to know it would be tedious (some swap or rotation puzzles)
- the item hunting was more involved, as you have to assembling things, or move stuff around
- The names of the items on the list also made more sense this time , though there were a few occasions of "I would not have called that item this"
- The story is just as fun (cheesy) as last time

Neutral:
- The game offers players the ability to do matching games instead of item hunting, there's also achievements for them like there are for the item hunting
- It's a neat feature for sure, might be better for visually impaired folks, as if you bought this game you hopefully knew that item hunting was a main feature

Cons:
- Some of the audio mixing is off, you can adjust Sounds and Music in the settings but for some cutscenes SFX overpower voice over, even if you have it set low, like it's bugged out and it suddenly louder (these cutscenes might be pre-baked and therefore settings might not apply?)

Coming back for a replay after playing dozens of other HOGs, this one really stands out as being exceptionally well written and well designed. An interesting mystery with some fun twists. The progression is well sequenced and well paced, generally avoiding many pitfalls of other HOGs (finding obscure objects before you know you need them, character omniscience of required objects). Minus a half point for having not one, but two, locked first aid kits, a personal pet peeve.

The scenes are so beautifully and skill fully drawn. They haunt me in the best way. If you're an artist, you must play this just to learn and admire the artwork. Fantasy and horror comes together to ensure a thrilling experience. Thank you team AM.
