It is quite difficult to revolutionize the genre or even innovate it, but at least Bianco Bianco tries: you have to turn on the lights before being able to actually start playing, and that is a nice addition, even though not a real challenge.
The entire game is not very difficult: there are four parts of the room that can be explored, there’s quite some pixel hunting involved, the classic and rather difficult puzzle and some more searching in a 100% Japanese setting… and you’re done. This particular game is not a real jewel – it seems much like any other Bianco Bianco games, but that also means that it has some real quality.
Add to that some neat visuals and a kind of spooky ending, and you’ll have some reasons to play today’s free flash game of the day, Mystery House in Japan. Oh, and remember to check back soon for a full walkthrough of the game!
