The game is currently listed as $14.99 in the eShop (the same price as on Steam) and if you're into puzzle games or even escape rooms, I think it's definitely worth checking out. There were a few times the music would get a little louder and it grabbed my attention in a good way. To give you an idea of how the graphics look, I would say they're in the same family as Penumbra or Amnesia. The graphics look pretty good for the game being a few years old and performs well on the Switch. When I finally did figure out a solution it was very satisfying, and I had quite a few 'Oooh, that's how you do it!' moments. I don't think I would have been able to figure out a few of the puzzles in the second half of the game without lookin them up. After about 7.5 hours I completed the game, but I'll admit having to look up a few guides online when I got stuck, which was pretty often near the end. This game has very positive reviews on Steam, and I will have to agree! Even though the puzzles do get very complicated and I found myself wandering all over the castle, frustrated, looking for any kind of clue I did enjoy it. I love it when games do that and hope that's something they do for the Switch version this year! For a limited time, you could visit the castle while it's festively decorated for Christmas. When I looked into the game a little bit, I noticed that last year around the Holidays the developer released a Christmas-themed update.

This game is available for multiple platforms and originally released for PC in July 2016. Some of the most memorable moments I have from playing the game are clicking a switch, expecting one thing to open, but instead, a secret passage is exposed leading to a whole new room to explore. A word of advice I wish I knew before playing: pay attention to the paintings, floor tiles, and ceiling tiles.īesides being riddled with clues and hints, the castle has no shortage of secret passages and hidden rooms which as you have probably understood by now are VERY well disguised. A lot of the clues are hidden so well I ended up being stuck for an hour, back-tracking, trying to figure out what I missed. They're sometimes hidden in very difficult places so you have to think a little out of the box when looking for clues and hints. A lot of the pages you find are torn-out novel entries written by the past residents that tell their story. You'll need to collect objects and reference books, papers, notes, and clues left behind by the previous residents to solve the puzzles. The more intricate puzzles are inspired by astronomy. As you advance, the puzzles get more complicated and sometimes are divided among multiple rooms. Making your way up to the castle, you immediately begin encountering puzzles.Įach room you enter has a puzzle to solve to progress to the next area or room. There is an as-you-go tutorial explaining the controls that starts when you make it to the dock.

The game begins with an intro-sequence of your character rowing their way to the castle. It's mostly tapping, swiping to look around the environment and pinching to zoom out of certain puzzles. That being said, it's given that the controls aren't very complex. Being a big fan of handheld mode I opted to play with the touchscreen.

On the switch you're able to play the game 2 ways: either connected to a tv with 1 Joy-Con or handheld touchscreen. Your character has been tasked with the job - because everyone else is too scared - of going up to the castle, figuring out what is causing the radio signal, and shutting it down. The premise of the story is an old castle that's been abandoned for many years has suddenly started giving off radio interference causing issues with the nearby town's Wifi.

I actually found the game pretty relaxing at times. It did have a few eerie moments, but it wasn't to the level of 'jump-scare'. I was expecting this game to be scary (it takes place in an old medieval style abandoned castle after all) but it never actually scared me.

Being someone who enjoys puzzle games and scary ( but not-too-scary) games, I thought this would be a perfect game to try around the spooky holidays. 15th, is a puzzle adventure game inspired by games like Myst, and developed by 100 Stones Interactive.
