Bluebeard's Castle is your basic hidden object/adventure game. You are called, not literally as they didn't have telephone's back then, to your sisters aid who is trapped in Bluebeard's Castle because she did the one thing her new husband told her not to do. She opened the door to the seven deadly sins. Clearly the chick was a little flaky, but I guess temptation might get the better of me too. What you discover when you arrive is that Bluebeard is on a hunting trip, thankfully, and all his previous six wives have disappeared or died in mysterious manners. As a matter of fact, they are all trapped behind the creepy door. It's your job to find the seven keys, unlock the door, thus freeing your sister and the souls of Bluebeard's previous wives.
The holidays are coming to an end. That means I only have another week or so before my cat and I fly back to California from Pennsylvania to start my last, yes last, term of college. I don't know whether to be excited or sad? We didn't get a white Christmas here, but it was nice just the same. I may not be as "Christmassy" as Anne, but I still love the holiday. I even put on a little "red" on Christmas day - a shock to my family who usually only sees me in black, black, and more black. I just love shocking them.
I decided over break to play Bluebeard's Castle. Anne really wanted to do it, but when I told her about the freaky flying head, seven ghosts, and graveyards she quickly said it was fine if I played it and wrote the guide. I convinced her it was really too scary for her, okay, it's really not scary at all, but now that the guide is already done, what can she do? Right?

The plot is interesting, I rather liked it. The graphics are beautiful, but a little dark - literally, not figuratively. The hidden object scenes are easy to moderate and the puzzles are mostly easy. I did find two puzzles that were a little more difficult and provided video solutions for those. The game had a rather abrupt ending, in my opinion, and it was a little confusing. What happened to Bluebeard? Is there possibly a sequel? Who knows.
I recommend the game if you want a little down time or just enjoy well done hidden object games. It is fun, but it's not anything out of the ordinary. Well, I hear some leftover cookies calling my name. Ciao!
