Just when you thought that most of the mystery casual games you've been playing are scary, along comes Redrum from Anarchy Enterprises. This game is as weird as a casual game can be and that's why I sincerely suggest only mature audiences dare try out this surreal thriller.
Redrum, in a basic sense, is murder spelled backwards. This game is about a girl named Rose whose ability enables her to see, talk and interact with ghosts. Not only burdened by her parents' divorce, she was also sent to a psychological institute led by the money-hungry Dr. Sigmund Fraud by her father, blinded by the doctor's falsely administered diseases to Rose. Now, it seems that her only hope lies upon her detective uncle, whose mission is to get Rose out of the madhouse, and upon her friends, the ghosts that Rose interacts with mostly in her dreams.
This game is a hidden object installment where you're tasked to find clues listed on the bottom of the screen. Before any puzzles are to be solved though, a mystery will take place as narrated by the local newspaper. Playing as the detective, it now becomes your job to solve these murders by trying to crack the clues supplied by Rose, and while playing as Rose, your task is to interact with your ghostly friends and solve puzzles in your dreams, later to be written in Rose's diary.
With that said, the gameplay of Redrum is just like any other hidden object game. Lists are sometimes in a form of silhouettes or part of an image you have to find from the collective whole. The uniqueness of the game though comes from the disturbing images it presents. The scenes are most of the time gruesome and just plain weird, and really, all that green in the background successfully made by stomach very queasy.
