Originally released in 2010, Nightmare adventure series is an adventure puzzle game. The story about Kiera Vale, a young woman who wants to discover her ancestor's history after receiving a letter from Alton Quinn, she decided to search for her birth parents, which lead her to Blackwater Asylum.

The artwork is very nice, giving you an eerie atmosphere along with the soundtracks, unfortunately, the game doesn't have animated cutscenes or voice-overs, it relies on images and block of texts to tell the story. The good thing that the game is puzzle heavy. If you are looking for some original puzzles to solve this game will please you.

The journal is nice, it keeps track of the story and events. You also have a camera which you took photos of anything that looks off, those photos serve as hints to solve some puzzles. There is no map which means there will be a lot of backtracking. Thankfully the game is divided into multiple areas with five or six places to search in, once you are done from a section you'll be traveling to somewhere else and won't be able to go back to the previous area.

Pros:
+Interesting story.
+Good but dated artwork.
+Variety of puzzles and riddles.
+Good journal.
+Taking photos to help with puzzles.

Cons:
-No map.
-No voice-overs.
-No animated cutscenes.
-Soundtracks sometimes stop and you play with nothing playing in the background.
-No steam achievements.

I've played this game when it first released, playing it again on steam is fun. I do recommend it to people who enjoys puzzles and don't mind the dated graphics.
