Dark & Eerie Games Thread

ditto to all of the above dj!

I loved Urban Legends! The first time I played it, when it was first released and wrote one of my strongest possible recommendation in my review. Then, later I found I couldn't get into it again. But the bathroom scene stays with me forever.

And I must admit I was a little miffed with Eipix about Final Cut - excuse me, we already have one of those style HOPA .

I am so glad you loved Graven, because I went out and bought it (pcc) on your earlier comments. 

I ADORE Midnight Mysteries. Edgar Allen Poe was the most wonderful surprise of my (gaming) life. Up until then, I was mostly exposed to flat monotone repetition offered in GH. What an eye-opener! So that led me to google EAP and games, and sure enough there was Felix to steal my heart away  . My last loyal deed to GH was to use all of my game credits was to buy all the MMs from there.

I agree, the developer change has not detracted from the series at all.
 
And this thread always cracks me up! 

And about kale. I found it in my online shopping site, so ordered some. Then, doctor, who still lurks, saw our posts and informed me it was in our back vege patch all those years ago when we lived together lol!! 

As can be seen, green is not my colour! 

But I try...

I'm another one who really liked Urban Legends: The Maze and wished there was a Part 2.

I have finished Graven: The Purple Moon Prophecy and must say, it's a very good game! Bravo, Orchid Games, for a storyline and gameplay that held my interest throughout the entire game!

Yay, Midnight Mysteries: Ghost Writing due out this week!! I love this series even after the developer change.

The other CE (according to BF's FB site) will be Revived Legends: Titan's Revenge and I did enjoy the first game.

Happy New Year's Eve (and a safe one) to Everybody!

 

did you see in the forums the developer asking about the thumbnails?    I left a comment,
 though I do  not remember the thumbnail.

To bad the CE Sale is today.....especially if these CE's are good.   That is the only way I will buy.
I still have not bought the new Vampire Legends.    It did not grab me the way the first one did,
but I still want it.  
Just because.


JTF:    I once remarked that if I lived out in the country and the police found Marijuana in my
yard,   I would get arrested when they asked if I knew what it was because my answer would
be  "Its weed".

 I actually DID have wacky tobacci in my back yard once. When I moved into the flat, I saw it and all could think, was "They've left a marijuana plant here? They must be out of their minds" 

I am one of those people who have had doctors recommending it for helping me go to sleep. But I am allergic to it and it sets off my asthma. Do you know how hard it is to be a cool teenager in the 70s without smoking the damn stuff? I got really good at rolling joints and finding excuses to go outside.

Alcohol doesn't agree with my either. So I'm sort of a boring date!

I hate the smell of it... turns my stomach, so obviously I've never tried it. Just ew. Not a huge fan of alcohol either, so you know I'm a fun date too. 

I'm dying for any of you guys to play Midnight Mess and make sense of it for me, cuz I'm at a loss. 


Currentlly I'm fighting off NYE blues. I get them every year. It never seems to live up to the hype, at least in my world. Eh. Oh well, tomorrow is another day... and year! 

and... I need to hear this every year... so much childhood... so many memories

I LOVE BARRY  MANILOW  

When I was visiting my daughter in San Diego,  California there were neighbors who,
at 3:00 pm on the dot every day would start smoking the funny weed.
I would just sit outside and sniff.    Never smoked or inhaled.  Sniffing was enough 
I came  back to NY  quite  mellowed out.       

I would not know how to smoke anything......well,   except a woodstove..

esme--I find the hype is better on TV than it is in real life.    Its never been a big
deal for me.
Sorry about your Midnight Mess.    I must say,  your rants make it sound interesting.

I am almost finished with Melissa K and the Heart of Gold.    I really do recommend
it.    Its more adventure than HO's and you do need that hint button.
The characters you meet are interesting.....like a ghost that wants to eat you???
The old monk who speaks in riddles but kind of grew on me.
For an SE it really is good. 

Not sure if its on Genki's list.    I need to check.

Melissa is on my list too!

Oh and Castle Secrets is just a F2P that's actually $7, and now you can play all day 

Is just like the real thing. Strange characters wandering around, and you have to kill them in order to get in? or was it out? Anyway the objective of all this staking and shooting silver bullets is to open up locked HOPs and, and, and... Well, from I saw, that's it really. As I say, F2P format completely. I liked it enough though, to buy it. 

luvtoread, I didn't catch the "thumbnail" question from the developer of Graven. I just went and had a look.

You know, I don't really pay attention to the thumbnail of a game unless it looks especially like a game I wouldn't enjoy.
I always go by the demo to see if I like it or not.

I knew I wanted to play Graven from almost the very beginning of the demo. I am a sucker for good graphics and music. And it's a SE with CE qualities! (No Bonus, but heck, the game itself took me 3 days to complete and I'm talking putting in some game time now that the holidays are over)
I didn't use the Hint button. I'm not sure if the map is transportable because I walked it, I was having too much fun!
I found all my mosaic pieces, but not all my mistletoe--mistletoes...whatever the plural is.

I hope there's a CE sale this weekend. I have Vampire Legends 2 (not played yet). I'm worried about all the tech issues associated with it. I don't think it's going to be near as good as the first one.
I've started the new HE game.

I was just sitting here thinking, it's so nice to be able to talk about all the different games with other people who enjoy playing, too.
Hardly anyone I'm close to in RL plays them, so I may as well talk to the wall if I'm going to bring up the subject of HOPA games.
I don't think they quite understand my addiction to these games!

ETA: Then again, I don't understand the need to post every little thing I do on FB either.

dj---I agree.   It is nice to have others to talk to about our love/hate relationships with games
 


esme----I hope this makes your NYE a little brighter:

You know what, Luvto? That helps. It's one of my favorite NG quotes and I needed to hear it again. 

You know what?  New Year's is just another day.  I've never been into mingling with people I scarcely know, so the idea of a New Year's Eve party has absolutely no attraction for me.  Every New Year I have the same tradition -- be in bed and asleep well before midnight!  


That being said I hope that every has a very happy and safe New Year's, wherever and whatever you may be doing!

Awww, how cute, Esme!

You see where I'm at...HOME! And DH is already asleep!! Just another day for us, too!

I'm too old for the "party" scene and I'm not much of a drinker, anyways. I prefer to stay home, it's safer.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

HERE IS TO SOME (HOPEFULLY)  DARK AND EERIE GAMES:






FOR WEIRD PARK GAMERS:

Because I am an idiot and a glutton for punishment apparently, I decided to play the newest Grim Tales game with everyone's favorite clueless clan. Oh, Lord save me because it starts with a family reunion! The Grays and the McGrays all together in one stupid game! 


Okay fine.. I knew what I was getting myself into and I'm taking that into account HOWEVER... I was just playing a HO scene in a bear cave where one of the directions is 

Probably not a spoiler, but I'll hide it anyway just so you all have the thrill of discovery!:

Which you have to do, even though it is the single most asinine thing you could possibly think to do in the situation. Seriously. I can think of nothing more foolish to do than  

unbelievably stupid thing to do:

 

Best part? Once you do the unbelievably stupid thing you earn the BRILLIANT IDEA award! 

Oh I needed that right now Esme! Thanks! 

The cats had a real nasty cat fight. Guess I can't wing it without the Feliway. Ran out about 3 weeks ago, kids were still behaving well - but obviously it is one of those products designed to create a permanent money spinner.

So thanks for the happy! 

Glad I could help, Justie. I'm still sitting here giggling in disbelief myself! I think it was the award that pushed it over the edge and into surreal territory for me. 

Hope the furkids are okay!

Oh yes, definitely the award! lol. Let's face it, you'd have to be a freaking genius to think of doing that in a life-threatening crisis! Talk about thinking outside the square!!  

The cats appear to all be fine. The guilty parties Jacky and Tobie have been unnaturally nice to each other of late, without their chill juice, I guess it was just all too much. 

But we are all shaken and upset and I hate that most of all. It's a rare thing for cats who live together to hurt each other, but it plays havoc on everyone's nerves.

Oh well. Payday yesterday, so at least I don't have to wait to buy the stuff! 

I'm glad the kitties are doing okay!

I'm still whiling away my brain cells with this game. So dumb. So funny!

I'm sure they didn't intend the game to be hilarious, but it definitely is! 

I remember that game! Oh my..even our Aunt Jane character is kind of clueless....the
diary reads like she can't figure out why these things are happening and how exciting it
is to be visiting them. Always an Adventure.

Tell me if you figure out where the Niece comes from. I remember the BIL and Sis,
nephew Brandon, that's the only kid they have, but then there is the Niece who
doesn't seem to belong anywhere, unless she is the Fruit of the overly close
Brother and Sister's (Elizabeth and James?) loom.
I remember comparing them to the Flowers in the Attic brother and sister.

Glad your getting giggles out of this wonderous family.

OMG I was just coming in here to say how creepy-close James and Elizabeth are! I've sort of got the heebie-jeebies from them. EW! 

I actually had to shut the game down a bit. It was freaking me out. I'm sort of rooting for Thomas, to be quite honest. 

I've no idea where the random niece comes in. Been trying to figure that one out, though frankly, I think I didn't play that installment of Psycho Werewolf Family.

Maybe DJ knows. I think she has played all these fabulously sensible games too. 

The niece came out of nowhere in that Bloody Mary game--the one where the eggs with
the eyes made you laugh.

I think there will be more future random relatives coming out of the woodwork
just to keep this weirdly Grim family in the game.

I just discovered that her name is Jackie. That's all I know. Sadly, I know I played Bloody Mary and I think I actually liked it, but I don't remember a bit of it! 

Senile much? 

Well, that was rather anti-climactic. I'm guessing the bonus section will add to the Thomas story... but that would probably make too much sense for this series.

To play it or not to play it. Hmmmm? 

I cannot for the life of me remember anything about the bonus section.

I need you to play and enlighten me.
