It is super-short and lacks the production value (no voices) of other competing games, yet they are asking just as much for the full-game purchase. Paranormal Agency: The Ghosts of Wayne Mansion feel way too much like a budget title. There was a surprising lack of dialogue or voices, which made the game noticeably more silent than most G5 adventures. Sound effects are excellent and there is some pleasing piano music that eventually adds some orchestration to ramp up the tension and suspense. The graphics are quite good crisp, detailed, and colorful with great lighting, animation, and effects. I almost wonder if all the backtracking was a not-so-subtle way to pad out the game length of what would otherwise have been only a 2-3 hour experience even on Expert mode – short for $7 and short in comparison to most other G5 adventures. This game should be all about the destination and not the repetitive journey. ![]() Mindless backtracking is normally found in games that feature random encounters, combat, and level grinding. It’s just poor design for what should have been a casual and relaxing game. It wouldn’t be so bad if there had been a master map or some sort of quick travel, but you will often have to make your way through numerous rooms to reach your destination. Even worse, several of the hidden-object scenes are repeated and you will even find yourself picking up the same objects multiple times. Your patience will be tested more than your deducing skills since Wayne Mansion requires an annoying amount of backtracking to previously explored areas just to find one small thing that has changed or one item you can now obtain – an item you saw earlier but weren’t allowed to take. None of the puzzles are terribly challenging, but if you do get stuck you can always get a hint or skip them entirely. And if you need to relax your brain you can always enjoy a ghostly tea party. In addition to the standard offering of pixel-hunting hidden object screens Paranormal Agency throws in a few interesting twists, some familiar like jigsaw and logic puzzles, and even a surprising round of Blackjack. And while the supernatural tones of playing in a haunted mansion are become a bit predictable, you might actually find a few surprises waiting inside Wayne Mansion…and no, it’s not the Bat Cave. It definitely falls into the more casual side of the scale when it comes to challenge and difficulty. ![]() Paranormal Agency: The Ghosts of Wayne Mansion is G5 Entertainment’s latest fix for your HOA addiction.
