Grim Facade: Sinister Obsession [Collector's Edition]

This is Grim Facade #2. It follows the same format as Grim Facade #1 (Mystery of Venice)—a game which is unfortunately broken on Steam and you should not purchase—of difficult point-and-click adventures and hidden-object scenes interspersed with fairly easy puzzle mini-games. The bonus chapter is especially challenging! The game is quite old by now, and thus has a low resolution and awkward aspect ratio, but still plays well.

One important thing to note: it is quite gruesome. You will see dead bodies, violent deaths, and the threat of suicide. If these things are not your cup of tea then avoid this game.

Otherwise I cannot make heads or tails of the story. It almost seems like there was more planned but that was cut out in the final version. In any case, the game does a terrible job at conveying any narrative and it is impossible to care about the characters or their outcomes. The gameplay is very good, just don't expect anything else.
