Explore and unlock terrifying stories from Blackwood Manor.
Scratches is a terrifying story where a tale from the past emerges to haunt the present. You control famed horror writer Michael Arthate as he explores Blackwood Manor, a Victorian house near an English market town. It's a quiet and pleasant existence, until odd noises in the basement keep him up at night. As they grow louder, you'll explore the house and unlock the strange tales that echo through its walls.
This is a genuinely creepy game. The whole experience actually feels like an cliche Haunted House story, like a myst game with a horror element.
Cons
The 'demo' ends off with you searching for a fuse box. the problem? You don't know where it is and there are about ten places you can't go because you'r playing the demo...While I understand the purpose of a demo, the game leaves you frustratingly clueless over what to do next. That, and the demo only consists of you exploring about four rooms.
Summary
It's a DEMO

Pros
It was quite good.
Cons
Should have stated that it was a DEMO and a short one at that. It took over TWO HOURS to download via a fast ADSL connection and only lasted for approx 10 - 15 Minutes. Not worth bothering with.
