Donald Dowell and the Ghost of Barker Manor is an old-style point-and-click adventure game, inspired by the great Sierra and Lucas 90's classics. It has an old-fashion graphic style, totally hand-drawn. The drawings were scanned and colored with simple photo-editing programs. Game interface is old style too (maybe not like current games, but great fascination for old-gamers, inspired by old Sierra and Lucas games (such as Sam & Max). The dialogues, the characters and the situations have a sense of humor inspired by games like "Day of the Tentacle" or "Monkey Island". Donald Dowell is a nice old man in his eighties, retired for many years. Donald s life, except for his "intolerable" wife, is quiet. But Donald feels empty. He has the socalled retiree's syndrome : he s bored to death! The only way to cure his boredom is TO GO BACK TO WORK. After many hours spent in his city, trying to get hired for various jobs, he finally finds his calling: to be a GHOSTBUSTER!

A good game. A little bit vague and obtuse with some of the puzzles, but I'm also not an experienced point and click gamer so it's a new thought process for me.
Really recommend it. Did a review on this site, and have done a Let's PLay on my channel:
Languages availables in the game?
Sorry for my english, Brazilian.
At the moment, English and Italian :D
im stuck on this part of the game........what do u do to find the safe combo?
If you mean the suitcase-safe-combo look at the shelves and you'll find a clue. If you mean the safe-deposit box You need something that's inside the suitcase.
Anyway, to avoid spoiling here, if yo need WT a good english one was made here:

What are the suggested computer requirements? I downloaded it and it's practically unplayable for me since it takes up 100% of my CPU usage...
System requirements are
*OS:* Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8
*CPU:* 1.0 Ghz
*RAM:* 64 MB
*Hard Disk Free Space:* 850 MB
*Video Card:* DirectX compatible
*Audio Card:* DirectX compatible
Huh, well I'm definitely way above the system requirements. Not sure why it's taking 100% CPU usage. Still have the same issue.
Well, I've discovered the problem. It's actually just that the game freezes sometimes. As long as it's not freezing up I can play it fine.
