An Unsolved Crime in a Mysterious Town: The Girl in the Window Game Review

Hi there! I'm back again with another content, that being another game review, of a game I recently found and finished. Now, let's get into it!


The Girl in the Window is a point and click game developed and published by the Dark Dome. It was released, as in the Play Store, back in November 2019. It weighs around less then 50MB, making it playable in many phones. The size also goes along with the its gameplay which is rather short, but it's indeed rich of qualities that lead me to grow fond of it. Without further ado, let's dive into the game!

The Story


"20 years ago, there was a mysterious murder. The case was never solved and the house was abandoned from that moment on. Villagers claimed to see strange things inside the house."

We will find ourselves as a man who makes his way into a house in some obscure neighborhood. Apparently, the house was no ordinary one, as it is the witness of an unsolved crime, a murder of a girl who lived there. Our character who is enticed by something odd makes his way into the house, but upon entering it, the door suddenly shut, leaving him clueless inside. This turn of event, will lead us to turn the house upside down to find the way out of this place. Inside the house, we'll be met with haunting apparitions of the girl and discover what truly happened back then. 

The Gameplay


Like most point and click adventure games, these game relies on puzzles and the plot itself as the main content. The puzzles are fine, in terms of difficulty and creativity, it is to me a good starting point for beginners who want to give the genre a shot. If you happen to stuck in any of the puzzles, worry not, because the hint is available to access through one click of an icon with no ads required. The theme/music for the game blends in just fine, especially in terms how it help making us feel a bit on edge. The visuals/artworks of the game is quite similar to those of the Rusty Lake series, not that its a straight copy of it, but I just find it neat (I just really like the style in short). Another thing worth mentioning is the cutscenes that are played occasionally throughout the game, which is a really good touch!

Overall Thought

The game is one fresh addition to the genre, speaking of the mobile games, as I haven't found any recent point and click games that I found as interesting as this one. The story (especially the twist), the theme, and the visuals really did a good job in composing the game and making an overall legit playing experience. So in the end, I would give the game an 8 out 10 for it! Oh, I almost forgot, this game is part of a bigger world building series from the same developer, I believe it ties in with other games such as the Unwanted Experiment, Nowhere House, and the upcoming Ghost Case game. So be sure to give them all a taste and stay tune for their future installments. As for Dark Dome itself, well done! I really enjoy the game, can't wait for your next coming projects!

Samsara Room Game Review! Another Fine Puzzle!

So I'm back again with another post, sorry for the long break! I had been running into some troubles lately and it took me quite some time to get back into blogging. Today I'm bringing you another game review, the title is Samsara Room! Samsara Room is a game developed by the Rusty Lake, the same company that developed the Rusty Lake and The cube Escape game series! The game was recently released to the wild a few weeks ago, specifically April 29th, 2020, which is a remake of its previous version. This game was released to celebrate Rusty Lake's fifth anniversary! (Way to go guys!!!) With that settled, now let's move on to the game! Storyline So from what I read, the game is set after Rusty Lake: Roots and it follows up the event of William's rebirth. Truth be told, I don't fully understand the full story of the Rusty Lake series, as I haven't played them all. Unlike the Cube Escape series which I have played in sequence. The first thing you notice in...

Working on a Terrific Masterpiece! A Death Palette Game Review

Howdy, folks! It's me again, the author of this lonely blog. these past weeks have been filled with semester breaks, something that I truly enjoy after all the hustle in the 2nd semester. In that break, I have played many games, some of which I'll review and bring here. Now, let's get into one of them, the menu for today will be a review of Death Palette. Enjoy! Death Palette is a puzzle & story based game with horror elements to it. The game was developed by Sleeping museum, an indie developer based in Japan, and was made available in google Play Store in February 2020.

Giving company on a long lonely trip! A Terasene-Girl X Sun Game Review

Girl X Sun-Terasene is another developed by the Sleeping Museum, the maker of the Death Palette game. The game is developed with Unity engine and is available to play in mobile through google play store. The games was released back in May 2018, but it has earned more attention recently following another update that translated the game in English, somewhat the same case with Death Palette. The game has been downloaded for over 50.000 times and it weighs around 30 MB, so its indeed a light game for your device. The game can be considered as one of the story based adventure/single player platformer (?) game, although its not that kind of hard/more common action.  The Story It started off with a girl who is taking a walk at night away from a huge castle. What makes it unique is that the girl is carrying an umbrella. We are then told of her condition, that she can't make contact with sunlight as it may harm her, hence the umbrella. But why is she taking an umbrella at night? It's be...
