The Lake House: Children of Silence (Collector's Edition)
Windows version
I had problems with this game
The Good
The best I can say about this game is that I bought a mint copy very cheaply.
The Bad
I had problems installing the FOCUS Essentials release of this game, Windows 10 flat out refused to run the installation process. I tried running as administrator, tweaking the properties and my usual tricks and nothing worked. Eventually I created an .iso file and using this I was able to install the game on the virtual Windows XP machine I used for playing old games. However even after it had been installed it still would not run.
My disc was in mint condition, my virus checker scanned it and said it was fine, I suspect the game tries to access some protected Windows settings.
The Bottom Line
I struggled with this game and I lost. A solution may have been possible if I had been willing to delve into Windows settings and tweak/relax something but, for me, no game is worth doing that.
As a result of my issues I cannot recommend this game.
