I enjoyed Margrove Manor a lot. The graphics are very challenging at first, there were some I did not see at all without hints. But their look seems to stay the same, only the size changes, so I think that will become more manageable. The torn-note puzzle and find-the-differences room were very simple in the first screens -- I hope they are more challenging in later rooms. I especially enjoyed the sound and light atmospherics -- they added a great deal of gameplay satisfaction. The very big caveat for me during the 60-minute trial was that game-loading between screens took much, much, much, much longer than other games. My laptop is at the low end of the requirements, so I am used to slow loading and jelly-like cursor movements, but the length of downtime in this game was really frustrating.
