Should you play it?

Exploration, puzzles and a touch of classic horror awaits you! Uncover the secrets and mysteries of Neuville's Mansion. Test your logic against diverse puzzles, locate and use a variety of items, and don't lose your sense of direction, as navigation itself becomes an obstacle in your path!

What works
  • Excellent pixel art and atmospheric sound design
  • Engaging and challenging puzzles
  • Immersive horror story with multiple endings
  • Smooth and intuitive controls
  • Good replayability for a short game
Things to keep in mind
  • Some puzzles are obtuse or require trial and error
  • Lack of map makes navigation confusing
  • Enemy ai can be inconsistent and reduce tension
  • Short game length with limited content after completion
  • Good ending requires obscure actions, may need guide

How to use the graph
Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the same motivation profile as in the “Why this game works” section below. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot for a screenshot preview, score, and top score gaps; click to compare in the panel on the right.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

Viviette: A very typical example of its motivational profile. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Expression, Fellowship, Cooperation, Competition. Here, the score leans higher than usual among comparable games on Exploration. It leans lower than usual among comparable games on Violence, Relaxation.
