Henry's last living family member, his Great Uncle Bruno, recently died and left him responsible for settling the estate.

As soon as Nancy arrives, she is knocked out by someone wearing a skeleton costume, and she soon discovers that Bruno was the proud owner of the "Whisperer", a crystal skull rumored to protect its holder from almost any cause of death except murder.

IGN awarded 7.5 out of 10, highlighting the detailed environments, well-modeled characters and good voice acting, with interesting but hard puzzles.

However, the movement system (clicking on arrows) and jerky turning animation was criticized, and it was not rated highly for lasting appeal.

[6] Adventure Gaming Magazine thought it was a bit of a letdown to its predecessors in the series, which featured "cleverly themed puzzles, captivating soundtracks, and fun characters".
