Gameplay

Scratches plunges the player in a distressing environment which is appropriate perfectly instead of the adventure. The decorations and the light effects are realistic. It is a type Jeu of adventure of “point-and-click” which with the characteristic to use a subjective sight i.e. the player sees what the character sees and of interaction where displacements are done mainly with the mouse.

It is not a question of a set of enigmas but rather of a play of logic, research and observation. If the player finds himself blocked in the play, it is surely that it an object necessary to his progression and that it misses will have to excavate the residence and the neighborhoods to find it.

Several places must be explored during the play: the manor itself, the garden, the garage, the greenhouse and the crypt. Quite as alarming the ones as the others, each one of these places conceals an essential object or information to continue or include/understand the history.
