Italian title: Graffi Mortali First
Person "What sort of sick, twisted minds would conceive of such a frighteningly delightful game in such a deceptively simple interface? Who would give a face to terrors that only linger in the deepest recesses of your late night, cold pizza induced nightmares? "Nucleosys has hit the nail on the head with their design of Scratches and gone back to what made Adventures so brilliant to begin with. We are placed in moody, pre-rendered environments of the rural English countryside...the whole thing reeks of atmosphere. This game is not bogged down in gimmicks and new, “earth shattering” technology...The interface is clean, point and click node-based movement with an easy to use inventory and menu. "Scratches pits you against an ancient curse that has taken hold over the lives of the previous tenants of Blackwood manor. You, as Michael Arthate, unknowing of this curse, purchase the home in an effort to create the right setting to finish your sophomore literary triumph. However, strange journals call you away from your work, leading you to bizarre photographs scattered throughout the house, creating a paper trail that unravels a tale more fascinating than the one you are trying to weave. "Nucleosys did a beautiful job in creating the visuals for Scratches...each node is shaded like a watercolor painting. I felt as if I were playing inside a work of art. The rooms are shadowy and reclusive, as if each holds a secret that is just begging for you to take a closer look... "Sound designers Cellar of Rats created an excellent soundscape, from the heart pounding strings when I enter the basement of the manor, the sparse native drums in the art gallery, to the actual scratches themselves. You know, the ones you hear in the middle of the night when all should be quiet? "I challenge all of you to pick up a copy of this game when your next paycheck comes through and show some love to Nucleosys. They have really pulled out all the stops with their first effort and created one classic piece of Adventure gaming."
