This trilogy seems to be inspired from Identity (a famous movie about inner conscious world and personalities) and Groundhog Day(the first movie narrates with time-loop mechanism). I'd interest these genres, and I have enjoyed this trilogy on 3 days with 10 hours played a day. Even though these games are difficult as onplaying with expert mode which off the hint and skip modes. However, I try to calm down and solve these puzzles, these puzzles are as complex as Alawar's in expert mode. When I finished the trilogy, I have breathed out deeply, and then remind the last two parts' infos, and organize all of the elements of characters, notes, and plots. After doing these, I want to state my opinions for this sequel.

For plot: this game narrates by splitting notes in the all of the scenes. I know Dimmie Azu isn't professional director, and the game has too long time gap scaled from 2014 to 2025. And also in part 1 bonus chapter is described to find these clues regarding what happened the massacre of asylum. However, it seems to be forgotten or deleted in part 2 and I'm disappointed about it. It wants to build up the complex world about asylum and dark fall town. But this game stills not to explain why massacre happened as part 2 and 3 having released, and who is the disruptive troublemaker on asylum in part 2. There are a lot of mysteries veiled in plots. But by connecting two parts of the game, I'm finding that protagonist is stuck in time-loop since she woke up from bed in part 1, also I think the end cutscene of the part 2 wants to tell us that time travelling is fake, and phantasmal. And, I can accept the reverse of ending in part 3, It surprises me enough. Also, I think all of the games are mild pace in narrating. So that I think that game is not hard for me to understand the story, even though this game is no any comms in gameplay.

For gameplay, I'm a HOPA nerd, I even have first time to play this alternative HOPA(Directly I think that should be called as adventure game, it less of hidden objects scenes). This game analogs a scene puzzle solving mode, which you need to find the items for finishing the main puzzle. Although it presents old HO scene mechanism, but I think it is more interesting than pure HO mode. Additionally, I think the trilogy has the same problem that where can be interacted but you can't find in first time, and there is no hint or highlight for it. So that causes a serious problem on playing expert mode in first time, you need to ragely click every scenes somewhere interactive area you maybe missed, I think this enterprise can imitate other BigFish games on dealing the interactive area. Hence I think that game is out of the concept of the 'casualty' and turns into difficult, especially part 2, there are a lot of scenes existed once.

For creating creepy atmosphere, this enterprise uses a Hitchcock way to make some screamers in cutscenes, I think frequently using it for frightening is boring, and can easily immune for that jumpscare, even think can this game be tagged as psychological horror?

With my sincere speeches, I'm so thankfully to enterprise for making the great trilogy to present a how complex, spiritual world to player. I have experienced the Holly's conscious adventure. And, I think some aspects of interactive area is clever, such as you can put the wine into the time safe and let it turns into vinegar. Most players think Part 2 is the worst part in this sequel, but instead, I think it is the greatest of the three, not only the designs about interaction, but also the pace. When I read the bonus contents, we can know that the enterprise experiences a tough and rough time, and try to fix the failures from the former designer. So that we don't need to blame Dimmie Azu presenting a old-fashioned ending of this sequel. I think it is OK for explaining the most of mysteries.

In the end, I want to say thanks for Goblinz stuffs again, thanks your stuffs can make the greatest HOPA game series in the world, and I really hope, the next game can be released in near future successfully, and I will preorder it without doubt. I'm looking forward to your team acclamation, and bringing the new experience to fans.
