Contract with the Devil
Sonya (your character) gets a letter, quite late at night, regarding her daughter, Lisa. She rushes to the mansion of John McGraw who unveils a mirror. Suddenly, both her daughter AND John McGraw are pulled into the mirror's vortex.
What is a mother to do? 
Jump in after!
The graphics are very grainy and one-dimensional.
I turned the music down. 
NO voice overs!!!! WHAT???!!!??? That's right. NO voice overs ..... except .......... for the boggart 
named Browne who speaks ................ gibberish no one can understand. 
You get a diary that holds "thoughts and facts" about the game. The tutorial is called "Study" . NO map. 
At all.
HOGs (hidden object games) were simple lists. I didn't see a "skip" button for the awful mini games but that's just me.
It could have been there and I didn't see it. 
There is a multiple click penalty in the form of clouds/fog (which looks more like cigarette smoke). 
The "hint" button takes forever and a day to recharge and keeps taking you back to a place you don't want to be. Add to that, the grammar is hideous. No other for it ..... tremendously hideous.
I'm sure you can't imagine why I wouldn't just rush out and purchase this game but, alas, it just wasn't for me. From boggart-only language to grammar I couldn't understand (how do I find items in the HOGs?) to a storyline lacking any substance and, yes, I failed to prevail and learn to like this game. Obviously, not a purchase for me.
Overall Impression: Pass. Run ..... do not walk ... away from this game.
