Tonight's game takes us to an ancient castle believed by some to harbor a few disembodied pirates. Wouldn't you know, someone has locked in the catacombs-filled with rats and cryptic skeletons! You don't know how you got there or who transported you from the comfort of home to this dreadful place. But one thing's for sure. You must get the heck out of there before the spirits have their way with you!
Hey, at least they've left clues for you to decipher. Go ahead and grab that mouse to retrieve various items strewn-about and store them into your inventory. Carefully interpret each clue you find carved on walls or parchment to solve a few ancient riddles. Maybe the ghosts are testing your wit to see how well you complete the puzzle for your escape. A walkthrough is provided down below.
This point-and-click escape was very well put-together. With eerie sound-effects and clear imagery. The challenge was even-keeled. Not too easy or hard. Though don't expect to see any spooks about unless you count a mummy-alligator. So all in all, I give this 4.5 out of 5 stars!
