This is a fun coop game that uses an app to act as the gamemaster, revealing the layout of the mansion and the monsters/creatures/characters you encounter. The app is a nice touch in a lot of ways, in that it frees everybody up to be players, but it ends up absorbing or requiring a lot of focus. I find that the players all tend to crowd around the iPad reading the notes that the app issues. Perhaps if the app vocalized all of the notes instead, so the players just listened to it and reacted instead of obsessing over the iPad, it would solve my problem, but as it is now I found the app use to distract from the game.

I feel that Arkham Horror LCG does everything this game does (other than the app) only better. The story telling is better, the player agency is greater and there is more meat to the decision space. I would never pick this over that but in a vacuum where that game didn't exist the game is still a lot of fun.

Play time is definitely longer than what is indicated on each scenario, but what an experience ! The digital application does most of the heavy work - you can almost play without having read the rule, since the application guides you through each phase. Material is of quality, except the small black plates that tend to detach. Good replayability.
