The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them
ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you
think your game has been under-rated!
| 1 Cup | Not serious entertainment |
| 2 Cups | A reasonable game, worth a try |
| 3 Cups | A good game, worth playing |
| 4 Cups | A great game, well worth your time |
| 5 Cups | An outstanding, must-play game! |
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common
for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having
a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just
getting started!
Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game
Jack just wanted to have a caving holiday on Mount Shasta. Caught in a terrible storm as he enters the area, he stops to assist a broken-down car. Moments later, a third car crashes into the back of his, wrecking all three vehicles. With no means to go find help, the vehicles’ occupants reluctantly band together to seek shelter from the storm in a nearby abandoned cabin. But this is a cabin with an ill-starred history, and dark forces are abroad in the woods. With dawn a long nine hours away, will any of the stranded motorists live to see the sun rise?7 people commented on this game (newest first):
I found this game fairly bone-chilling. There are some great horror effects thrown into this (I also jumped out of my skin like stepurhan).
You should save this game for a dark, rainy, night when you have a few hours to spare :)

I can only recommend this game, some very unusual things you do not see in adventure games these days so often, or maybe at all :)

A thoroughly engrossing ane well thought out game. I especially liked the way the puzzles were integrated with the plot, so your actions felt natural rather than puzzle-solving.
Not for the faint-hearted though. I near jumped out of my skin when entering the downstairs hallway in chapter 3. Good use of overt scares (like that particular jump-scare) sparingly rather than relying on them.

This was an interesting game. I just couldn't get into the game during the first two scenes, but later the game managed to pull me in.
I didn't like the art and the action parts are pretty weak. The characters have potential, each with his or her own personality, but the writing is rushed.

The 'strangers crashing in a haunted house' concept has been tried and tested, yet this game manages to pull it off in a refreshing, original fashion. It's very well written, the story is set up well and the characters are fleshed out more than you'd expect. The game stays compelling and entertaining by means of clever character switches and a nicely paced eerie atmosphere.
The action sequence mentioned above didn't work for me, but you're allowed to skip it, so I didn't lose myself in frustration there. It's also pretty cool that some of your actions affect the ending!

This is like a well mixed drink with ingredients like some drops of scare, a splash of romance, mixed with mystery, a spoon full of tension and some pinches of death.
You are allowed to dive into the story as deep as you like, discover all the innumerable details to explore the motivations of the characters and enjoy the atmosphere.
Even if you are not that kind of gamer and prefer solving your task, you will get in the right mood while going through the story.
You also get a chase, which you are allowed to try as long as you have fun with it (or successfully go through).
Very recommended!

I enjoyed this game and the different ending were interesting.
