Spirit of Revenge: Cursed Castle Collector's Edition

Spirit of Revenge: Cursed Castle Collector's Edition transports you (unless you are already there) to England to investigate a strange case. Set in modern-day England, the Flatsbury family decides to live in a haunted Gothic castle, until catastrophe strikes. You play the role of Ms. Gale, who is on the search to find out just what happened to Lord Flatsbury.

The scene of the torture chamber with the skeleton in a cage suspended from the ceiling gave me the willies.

In the beginning, all you have is Jessie Flatsbury, his daughter, but she’s too cold and freaked out to talk. Put together clues and puzzles, talk to ghosts, and learn about the house’s history to figure out just what happened out there.

Fun hidden object puzzle adventure game. There are mini-games, collectables, hidden objects, etc. My favorite is the little lock-picking game, where you have to stick in a little hook and jiggle the springs to line up just right. The art was not a disappointment. Good blend of colors to keep it creepy without being too cheesy.

The scene of the torture chamber with the skeleton in a cage suspended from the ceiling gave me the willies. There’s one game that left me a little confused. I could figure out the solution, but the question was weird. Something about building a castle by pushing a button on a round box or something?

The collector’s edition includes a bonus game, art, music, replayable mini-games, and a strategy guide. There’s also an art gallery that reveals some of the Flatsbury family secrets.

I think there are going to be some sequels to this game, so I’d recommend getting the first installment of the series now and seeing what will come next.
