Quotes

[Adrienne touches the mirror in the dining room which triggers a vision of Carno with his second wife, Victoria. Victoria sits at the dining table, drunk, with a bottle of wine and a half drunk wine glass, when Carno enters and steps behind her]
Victoria Valmont Carnovasch: Well, well, look who's here! The great Carno!
[Carno begins to stroke Victoria's hair, which Victoria brashly pushes away. Carno roughly stands Victoria up. Victoria grabs her drink and throws the remaining wine in Carno's face]
Victoria Valmont Carnovasch: Here's to you!

User Reviews

Not the best gameplay, but very good actors, music and directing

Well, the gameplay may be not the best, but seen as interactive movie this game can really create atmosphere, especially through the wonderful choir music and the good photography. The director really did good work in the movie sequences. For me, this wasn't a game that I just play until the end and then put it aside, as there are many details (especially in the chase sequence and the fifth chapter) that you can miss when you play it for the first time. The actors are great, Victoria Morsell (Adrienne Delaney) is wonderful, as are all members of the cast. To me, the second part is also good but lacks atmosphere to some degree, possibly because I'm a fan of such "haunted house" stories, and the second part is more a sex and crime thriller.
