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.
