Also, the story is reasonably interesting, as well as being a direct lead-in to Time Mysteries 3. Switching between times and altering the past\/future is fun and the mechanic is well-conceived without being over-thought (best not to, with time travel!). The music is slightly repetitive, but quite good, and the overall feel of the game is nicely atmospheric (and appropriately creepy in places).The less good:The puzzles are decent but have no explanations, and are occasionally... less then intuitive. I dislike spending more time figuring out what the puzzle *is* than I spend solving it. On the other hand, kudos for immersion, since I suppose the protagonist has to guess as she goes along as well!The least good, which is to say the bad:There were a handful of places where the use of, or lack of, plurals was very confusing. Translations were generally pretty good, but not quite good enough for two solid thumbs up. A ladle isn't a spoon, and looking for "cherries" is different than looking for a (single) cherry (sounds minor, but there were just a few too many). I'd like to offer my services to Artifex Mundi as a proofreader. That said, the REAL problem was in a HO scene where you open three chests (with keys) the first time you are there. When you return, the chests are still open (as they should be, since there is no random box-closer ghost). Unfortunately, there are objects behind the lids of the boxes, and the game doesn't handle that properly. I spent a very long time looking for a card that literally could not be seen. Eventually, the potential problem dawned on me and I started randomly clicking the open lids. Poof! Suddenly my last card appeared.Final note: this is a decent game, it just needed a wee bit more care. That, and a little less pixel-hunting on a few of the HO scenes. The graphics quality is a big improvement over the first game (we won't talk about the Squidgy Head Faces thing that happened in Time Mysteries 1, because it just has to be seen to be believed). Too much aggravation with the HO scenes, but well worth buying on sale in my opinion.
