Is it still worth playing?

Rosa, a young freelance writer living a solitary life in New York City, meets a ghost who reveals that she comes from a family of mediums. This 2006 point and click adventure was first made as a freeware project before becoming a commercial game. She begins to see that a spate of recent deaths were not natural. A left click interacts with objects and people and sends Rosa where to go, while a right click examines. Rosa keeps a notepad of names and keywords, and combining two terms often points the way. Fully voiced dialogue carries much of the story. A small, character driven mystery is still a good way to spend an evening.
