Recommendation: Thumbs up. Buy on discount. The Good: Brilliant presentation of horror in a HOG, utilising atmospheric sounds and creepy animations very well Great voice-acting Extensive number of locations & hidden objects that are well-drawn Hidden objects were well-placed and give a decent challenge Game inventory use is largely intuitive and make logical senseThe Bad: Puzzles were rare and pretty easy Short in gaming length: Finished in 2 hours on normal mode Facial animations of characters in cutscenes were overdrawn and distracting Sounds can be very repetitive and irritatingThe Ugly: Had a fantastic concept of hallucinations that changed the perspective of environment, which was only used twice in whole game Story ending was abrupt and unsatisfying Options were limited: Normal\/Expert mode with increased hint time the only difference in difficulty No bonus content: No achievements, no cards, no epilogue, concept art Tied with the previous point: Absolutely no replayabilityFor people who know their HOG's: This game has the barebones expected of a HOG; you get a vague story, lots of hidden objects to find and work your way through. The biggest problem with this one was it really had the potential to stick out as unique HOG (even without the expected bonus features you get with HOG's on Steam), in that it really drew into the horror\/thriller world. The whole game was dedicated to scaring you and keep you guessing to the end. Unfortunately it doesn't keep the momentum going and the ending ends up being a plot hole on its own. Another missed opportunity, is the feature of hallucinations which really tied into the story but again never panned out. Solving puzzles to change the environment to 'reality' was really entrancing, but the game only used it twice (the second being only half-completed). This, with no replayability, is why I recommend the game, but only when its on sale. For people who are new\/casual to HOG's (Hidden Object Games): This is a game where you tramp around a massive property, finding items to help you as you work your way through the story and the locations. It has sections where you have to find everything on a list (hidden-objects) or have to solve puzzles to proceed. This HOG is one of the better ones I've seen, because it incorporated horror and thill so well, whilst many other games in the genre often skimp on. The hidden objects in the game are challenging but not frustrating and same could be said for the few puzzles you do find. Unfortunately, it has none of the bonus features that are now becoming standard on Steam, including trading cards and an epilogue. This game is an excellent example for a casual player and I recommend it.. The third time I launched it. It told me the save was corrupted and it deleted my profile.. As much as a I love this game I woudn't suggest buying it. Every single time I've gone back into this game to continue where I left off an error stating "your previous save file was corrupt. You will need to start over" comes up. Unless they fix this error I would not suggest purchasing this game. They really need to fix this bug as it's not fair to those who buy it to have to restart the game from the start everytime it's opened.. When you wake up, you're in White Haven. You don't know anything apart that a little girl needs you. However, this abandoned facility is creepy. And what's with antidote?In other words, White Haven Mysteries has everything for me to enjoy: dark plot, mysterious places and a constant question of why you? However, the game is giving away quickly the twist of the story... But still, it was exciting to know more. And unfortunately, well, I'm still confused about many elements.The gameplay is standard: find items, clear hidden objects, solve puzzles, etc.. The hidden objects scenes are quite a thing: big list, items well hidden or partially visible, etc.. The puzzles were quite easy. I didn't really need to use the skip button. However, sometimes, it wasn't easy to find your way through. But each area cleared is tagged as such, so, you know where to go ultimately.The graphics are good and the soundtrack is really giving you creepy feelings. I understand that the game is aimed more towards horror and moments to jump on your chair, however, it's soft.Apart the fact that on Win 8.1, I have to close Steam through the task manager because once White Haven closed, it's still giving a signal that I'm still in the game, White Haven Mysteries is really a decent HO games. I just wish that the plot makes more sense (in the end, I still don't know what I was doing there, who brought me here, if there is any real person behind, etc..). Anyway, I'm still recommending the game.. Pros:Cheap (If you get it on sale or with a coupon)EasyLong enoughCons:Too many campy cutscenesLots of illogical going back and forthLow originalityLike most Gogii games, won't shut down quickly (you may have to reboot your computer)Really bad science.... While I really enjoyed playing this game, it is a quick one. I did not experience the problem with the corrupted save file. I liked the sound effects, the graphics were fine. The only thing I am sitting here trying to figure out, is why I was searching for carousel pieces that I never used.....buy it on sale.. Pros:Cheap (If you get it on sale or with a coupon)EasyLong enoughCons:Too many campy cutscenesLots of illogical going back and forthLow originalityLike most Gogii games, won't shut down quickly (you may have to reboot your computer)Really bad science.... White Haven Mysteries is a typical HOPA. It's mediocre in any sense possible. Why do I still recommend it? If you get it cheap enough - i.e., at a discount of at least 50% - you'll get yourself a fairly good deal if you like that kind of game.In detail:# It has the standard game modes: Quick hint recharge and sparkles OR slow hint recharge, no sparkles.# The graphics are good, but not amazing. The HO scenes are clear, and the objects are big enough to be spotted.# It's quite short. It took me just 2 hours to finish it, and I read every journal entry and didn't skip a single puzzle.# The story is nothing new. A spooky building, a mystery to solve, a mad scientist - standard stuff. The ending was a tad confusing, but I believe I understood it.(Note: I can't say anything about sound or VOs, as I played it muted. Also, I finished it in one sitting, so I can't comment on the corrupted save file issue.)
