In another room you need to pour water onto a fireplace to reveal how to get to the next stage.Īs you can tell, Spooky Manor adds quite a bit to the seek-and-find formula. Once she leaves the scene, the last item you’ve been hunting for might be behind her. You find out she wants a piece of cake so you must find all the pieces, compile the cake and give it to her to eat. In the kitchen, you’ll see an obese female ghost sitting at the table.
Once you realize you don’t have anything to cut through this, you will revisit it once you find and compile a hacksaw elsewhere. For instance, you might notice a chain blocking a door in one level. In some instances you won’t be able to complete the room until you retrieve an item in another room on the same floor. Once put together, you can place the top hat with the magician’s items, the chess piece on a chessboard and the paintbrush with other brushes in a can, and so on.
Once you find all the items within the predetermined amount of time, it is added to your inventory, which then must be used in the room or in another one. For example, you may be tasked to find a paintbrush, top hat, pot and chess piece – but each one is in two, three or four pieces. You start in the boiler room and basement cellar by finding pieces of objects scattered around the scene. While you haven’t seen him in 20 years, he sends you a cryptic package including a journal that explains a starter unit to a Ghost Busters-like machine was stolen, and so you must come to the manor to retrieve all the pieces and activate the gadget to rid the residence of spooks. In Spooky Manor, you play as Mortimer Beckett, the nephew to a strange uncle who lives in a creepy mansion. OK, so the "Where’s Waldo" concept is overdone these days – we agree – but the developers at Paprikari did a great job in weaving in a fun story and puzzle-solving challenges to bring more to the table than the dozens of other "me too" clones. Before vocal Gamezebo readers write in and accost me for giving a great score to yet another seek-and-find game, do yourself a favor and download Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor, a highly enjoyable yet not entirely original adventure that gets mostly everything right.
