It was interesting locked room mystery.  Some very interesting visuals.  The house was very creepy (to be fair, I think any AI house would be creepy even without a murder).   

Not sure I really understand the theory behind a 24-hour rule before you have to report a deceased person on the premises, especially if the house doesn't have to allow an investigation or even retrieval of the body.   Why 24 hours?  Especially if assistance might have been rendered with a more timely notification.
