Nightmare Adventures: The Witch's Prison

[b]Nightmare Adventures 1: The Witch's Prison[/b] (Adventure-lite) [i]December, 2018 review update[/i] TL; DR - Just skip to the final paragraph ;) Options include Full-screen and Custom Cursor, plus separate sliders for Music, SFX and Brightness. One difficulty, and no achievements. I first played this game in January of 2012, and absolutely adored it. There are elements of the game that did not hold up well - such as the graphics - but it's still a very good adventure-lite, so read on! Cutscenes are short and to the point. To get the full story - including the prequel to the game's intro - you'll need read the blurbs in your journal ([b]PDA[/b]) often. There are no spoilers in there, and no hints for puzzles, so read with no worries! You will find journal entries periodically, which will also expand on the story. There is a refillable [b]HINT[/b] button (does not discharge with directional hints), and puzzles can be [b]SKIPPED[/b]. There are no instructions for the puzzles...

Originally released in 2010, Nightmare adventure series is an adventure puzzle game. The story about Kiera Vale, a young woman who wants to discover her ancestor's history after receiving a letter from Alton Quinn, she decided to search for her birth parents, which lead her to Blackwater Asylum. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2015872719 The artwork is very nice, giving you an eerie atmosphere along with the soundtracks, unfortunately, the game doesn't have animated cutscenes or voice-overs, it relies on images and block of texts to tell the story. The good thing that the game is puzzle heavy. If you are looking for some original puzzles to solve this game will please you. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2015872163 The journal is nice, it keeps track of the story and events. You also have a camera which you took photos of anything that looks off, those photos serve as hints to solve some puzzles. There is no map which means there will be ...

This is not a new game. I have played it about 5 times, (as i also own it over on Bigfsh) I really love it though ; great story ,great humour, really a fun adventure with tons of puzzles, game. The puzzles are not difficult; the answers are basically in clues scattered about(in true adventure game fashion). It's really important to play its successor; The Turning Thorn for a more complete story.

I had this on a game wishlist from an old computer. Picked it up on sale. THERE ARE NO HIDDEN OBJECTS IN THIS, it's more like a point-and-click adventure game with the Hidden Object-style look/interface. I play these for the "light mental gymnastics" and a certain mix of spookinses and campiness. The initial mystery is intriguing. But the latter half is, I think, SEVERELY underclued (I clicked the "hint" button and thought...Now how the heck did she know this was supposed to be that? And never found the part that would have led me to thinking her same thoughts). A relaxing way to pass a few nights, but doesn't make me jump for the sequel.

This game was a short, fullfilling, semi horror point and click game, and I did like it very much. I loved the main character "Kiera Vale" in this one. Not really polite, have a different personality that I liked much better than in some other point and click games. The main character wasn't so stuck up. and I found her comments amuzing through the game. She said what she ment, and didn't try to hide it. I've been playing alot of point and click games lately, and even if they have been pretty fun to play, they have also started to bore me a bit, because they have used the same type of maincharacter/protagonist and the puzzles and achievements are the same. This one was...different! I realised from the start...no achievements...and it relaxed me at once. Through the game it also made me feel more comfortable using the hint button when I was stuck, normally something I would never do if there was achievements involved. The only real thing to point out in this game was the resolution....

This game is the first part of the Nightmare Adventures series... at least that has made it to Steam. Kiera Vale receives a letter that claims she is the new owner of a rundown abandoned asylum. What she finds there is the makings of a mystery... Gameplay is decent, HO scenes are challenging, minigames are fun, and the plot is... adequate. As it seems to be built in a slightly older vein, there aren't as many bells and whistles as normal in these types of games. Still would recommend, though the bundle might be preferable.

I played this game years ago when it came out on another site but liked it enough to buy it again here. I enjoy the snarky protagonist and the different storyline. There are some cool puzzles that I hadn't seen before. I've played a lot of these type of games and a lot of the puzzles get reused over and over, but there were some surprises here. The graphics and artwork are a little dated but fit the theme and storyline. I loved the design of the witch. I recommend waiting for a sale because the asking price is a little steep for the time it takes to play, especially if you're familiar with this genre of games.

Wow! This was such an awesome adventure! I got hooked from the very beginning! PROS: - Intriguing story. You being held inside a interrogation cell and asked about what happened; - The ending will blow your mind if you're not familiar with the series; - Unique puzzles that vary in difficulty and mechanics; - The journal is in fact a smartphone where the protagonist writes down her thoughts; - Apart from the Hint button, you also get a photo camera where the game snaps important clues; - Auto-saved progress; CONS: - No trading cards; - No Steam achievements; - No extra episode; - No bonus content; - No collectibles. The story is about a young woman named Kiera Vale who has just inherited an asylum. Her biological family, the Wystwicks [sic], are said to have been renowned doctors that have gone mad at some point in their lives. Would Kiera be the next victim of this apparent curse? Play it. You won't be disappointed.

It's old game but I really enjoy It. Lot of challenging puzzles, many of them really original. Story is average with a clifhanger at the end, so it's better buy package with second part. Game is slowly building spooky atmosfere. Graphics is nothing speacial, but for this kind of game It's enough. If you really like soling puzzles this game is made for you. My rating: 7.2/10

Really good. More of a puzzle game than a hidden object game it had a good plot with a more mature story line which is nice since most of these casual games are teen oriented. My one complaint is that the production values were pretty sparse with only occasional music or SFX. This reduced the spooky atmosphere but didn't ruin the game. Recommended!
