Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story Collector's Edition
 – 

I'm not sure ...

... it's a good game, the story is OK. Still, I realised it failed to actually fascinate me. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the plot, maybe I'm too old for its dolls and other child aspects. I played it for a short time, then quit and continued a day or two later.
I can't say anything against it. There are no obvious weaknesses, but for my taste, it lacks actual strong points.
I bought it when it was on sale at a reduced price so I did get my money's worth.

Alex Hunter: Lord of the Mind Platinum Edition
 – 

A great game ...

... except for the puzzles, some of which were just incomprehensible for me. A few of them were just too hard for me, but in at least one (the puzzle for access to the well) I didn't understand the instructions no matter how often I read the description.
Still – in sum, I liked the game very much.

House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster Collector's Edition
 – 

Another great one

I liked the first 1000-doors game very, and this one is equally good. I'll surely will play it again, trying to avoid the hint button :-)
I do hope for a sequel ...

House of 1000 Doors: Family Secrets
 – 

Can I have more of this, please?

That's the perfect game for me. I played it in expert mode, which was just the right difficulty: not too easy but manageable. There is a plot but you don't need to read the story to be able to play the game. I'm a rather slow player and didn't have much time, so it took me several days to finish it ... and I was happy that it wasn't over too soon.
I admit I used the hint button a few times when I got impatient, and I didn't find all the "beyond objects". I'm therefore tempted to play it again.

The Emptiness: Psycho-Philosophical Quest
 – 

Don't waste money on it

Sorry, I didn't like it.
First of all, I hated the lengthy interruptions with 'real-life' characters – without any skip option. What they had to tell wasn't at all interesting.
And it was extremely boring to search the same rooms over and over, without any useful hints. Luckily I found a walk-through somewhere on the internet, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete the game.
If you're very young or easily frightened, the 'horror' elements might be a mild thrill. For me, they weren't.
There are many much more interesting games at the same price.
My recommendation: don't buy it. It doesn't get better after the free trial period has elapsed.
