Hey now! I'm giving Mystery Manor the best score I've ever given to Mike Slack. It works the same way Amnesia does except MM takes place in a more marked off area which makes it more compact and interesting with the random wandering cut way back. In general, Mystery Manor is solid enough to enjoy.
The plot revolves around the player trying to discover what made a scientist/wizard and his family disappear in their manor. Excluding the ending, I liked the plot. The puzzle-solving was never bothersome although I did get stuck at one point. There are no NPCs to talk to and I can only say that this is a good thing. The manor itself is adequately designed, though I didn't much care for the rooms you couldn't enter or the ugly empty attic, however, I understand why they were made that way.
5.9

You know, if Slack keeps up this constant rate of improvement, he'll be turning out 10.0s in no time. As for this scenario, I enjoyed it. Despite one sticky part (in one puzzle, there's a 90% chance of insta-death) and a bit of aimless wandering in the beginning, the scenario was fairly well made, and even included a nibble of combat.
Final Score: 6.3

"10s in no time?" A bit presumptuous. I was still not particularly amused. Perhaps I'm biased against "mystery" scenarios, but there's little mystery, mostly head-bashing. Maybe that's the nature of the beast; maybe BoA sucks at making this kind of scenario; I didn't enjoy MM in either case. 4.5
