Very quickly, Westmark Manor managed to impress in almost every way. Despite a couple of technical hiccups – I’ve had the game freeze on me twice, causing me to lose progress – the game’s threatening yet alluring atmosphere and intriguing narrative has kept me coming back. If you enjoy horror games, particularly the likes of Resident Evil or Silent Hill, then Westmark Manor is well worth adding to your collection. Just be prepared to jump out of your skin from time to time.

Westmark Manor is a nice nod to Alone in the Dark. It consists of an interesting story and good puzzles wrapped in a package of annoying resource collection system and buggy implementation that needs to be fixed after a dozen of patches.
