    Not all LF games are like SH--what I mean is that there are those that are easier to
    manuever the characters. I have played enough of them and even I find it hard to
    walk those two around! I do admit that I really enjoy those SH games.
    I can relate to being annoyed by those journals that "nag" at you after you read the info.
    But there are some games where if you do not open them, you miss something that was
    stuck in them that you need. Or, there was one game that had information in it that
    apparently was a future know it all, as it had info on stuff I had not even come across
    yet. I cannot remember the name, just it annoyed me.

    I see there is a new game out today where a daughter has to be saved by a witch.
    Again.
    I also see there are lots of there more posts in the tech problems section than in the
    reviews (dj pointed that out in Genki's game post).

    So, will pass that up for now. Guess the Witch wins this one.

    Yes, luvtoread, I've seen those futuristic journals, too! Laugh

    Please be sure to demo Mystery Tales 2 before purchasing, even if you beta-tested it.

    I won't be demo'ing, I still have a backlog of games to play.

    I'm still playing wit da fishes. Dark & Eerie Games Thread - Page 14 Fishing


    I actually had to go in and look up how to pass one level on the FB forums. I had to go in and adjust the difficulty settings! It's hard! Dark & Eerie Games Thread - Page 14 Fish-head-smash-smiley-emoticon

    I probably have too much emotionally invested in the game too. The pet fish talk to you and say silly things and I back-sass them. Dark & Eerie Games Thread - Page 14 Fish-2-smiley-face Then they want food and you have to clean their tanks... I might as well clean my own house! Though I can't do that while wrapped up in an afghan on my couch. Still, they are needy little buggers.

    I should probably find something dark and eerie to play. It's less stress!

    LOL Well, I am just easily bored in the kitchen, so I like to mix things up. Today I made a Chickpea, Cucumber, Feta and Dill salad for lunch this week and a Honey Cashew Chicken Stir Fry is prepped and ready to go for dinner. 

    I'm so tired of prepared, packaged foods. It feels good to make some real stuff. YUM!

    LOL Luvto, I have some friends who do just that. They like to be my food testers.  ThanksMeal


    So I started playing Haunted Hotel: Death Sentence. I'm guessing it's just a game version of "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. 

    Drawn out to an isolated hotel. People with shady backgrounds who were never punished. Dead folks. 

    Feels familiar, no?  Sherlock

    Oh good...I knew it would be you who also would comment on that. booklover
    I mentioned earlier about one "victim" who reminded me of AG Miss Marple story.
    I actually enjoyed that game.
    Looking forward to your posts on that.

    I know you live in Michigan. You get lots of snow? Buried-in-snow Out here, they are going on about
    a "horrific" blizzard that is going to hit the East Coast. 3 feet of dumped snow. Snowfall
    What makes it "horrific" is beyond me. Its not like Godzilla will be coming with it, ready
    to stomp on NYC.
    Snow in January. Who would've guessed? Tis the Season

    "And Then There Were None" is a classic. If you're gonna steal a plot, at least steal a good one, right?  Belly laugh

    I'm only at dead body #3 right now. Or is it #4? Three reels, but four dead guys. I think. Not that it matters. 

    I'm enjoying it. No complaints so far.  Okay


    I have a FB friend who was just talking about the storm headed to NY. I dubbed it Snow-perbole. The hyperbolic snowstorm. They act like it's not supposed to Snow. In. January. LOL 

    Though to be fair, that area has had a lot more than their fair share in recent history.

    Belly laugh    I knew I could count on you.

    Now,   some things are in your spoiler that I myself have wondered about.
    WHY DO WE NEED GLOVES FOR OUR GLOVED HANDS?   Rolling Eyes   Unless they are
    pure Italian leather,  or something.
    Now,   to somewhat comment on your spoiler---or go off on my own tangent... Soap box
    because it is fun to do:


    There is a literary question I have for you:

    just because someone may want to play this game in the future,  but I doubt they'll remember this:
     Whistle


    I did all in all enjoy the game. Laugh

    Italian leather? Say no more! It all makes sense now!  Snicker

    Was Detective Dreamy cleared? I guess I missed that. Too bad. I think my character likes a bit of a "bad boy"! (Okay, so I'm editorializing in my mind. It's my game; I'll play it the way I want! LOL)
    Not really a spoiler- just my probably misguided opinion:
     Wub

    As far as your question about Dame Agatha:

    Far too much about Dame Agatha's stories:

    I would be a food moocher, too, Esme! Silly face Please keep on posting your delicious looking recipes!

    I can't cook like you do or else hubs would never eat. He's such a food snob and this is all I would hear, ew...what's that?
    Is it supposed to look like that?
    I can't taste anything.
    Is this all we're having...a salad?

    Geesh! Rolling Eyes

    Oh my gosh, the snowstorm's been all over the news today. I feel sorry for the all the people who live in the northeast. They've had their fair share of mega-super snowstorms this season.
    We just got a little bit of snow this morning.

    I got the Frankenstein game today. I had some expiring PCCs and needed to use them up.

    dj, I know I lurk a lot but I thought I would let you know, I'm one of the ones in the middle of the snowstorm. South central MA here. The news about the storm is really getting annoying ( along with "deflate-gate" La la la! ). I've been through many storms ( Blizzard of "78 comes to mind) and this doesn't seem to be as bad as others. The worst part is the wind. My car is under a carport and is covered with snow. The snow is wicked light and the wind does create white out conditions at times. Thankfully they called off work Whoop whoop

    Being the hearty New Englander I am, I will go out later and do some shoveling.

    Good grief--you would think that it had never snowed before.    The area I live in is suppose
    to get 2-4",  but so far nothing but very cold weather and grey, gloomy, I- want- to- go
    somewhere- warm -weather.

    I agree--quite the kerfluffle about a pig-skin!    

    esme--I thought  the one I mentioned about AG was a Miss Marple cause
    the book I was thinking of was  "The Tuesday Night Murders"  where they would
    talk about people they knew got away with murder.
    I was thinking about the companion  story.  
    You have set me straight,   literary   (yes,  an awful pun on a word).  booklover
    Yes, Detective Glory Hound was cleared.


    dj---I am curious about the Frankenstein game.  Let us know when you play.

    lol, I guess y'all are used to mega-super snowstorms. What I heard on the news was 2-3 feet of snow and 50-70 mph wind gusts creating blizzard conditions. faints

    If we had that around here, this whole city would be in a level 4 snow emergency and proceed to shut-down.
    Heck, we get 3 inches of snow and the schools close down.

    We used to live in Montana (way back when). Wow, talk about cold weather... c-cold One year, I remember taking my sisters trick-or-treating on Halloween trudging through 2 feet of snow (and still snowing). Needless to say, we didn't stay out long. Buried-in-snow

    As a kid, I could tolerate the cold better. As an adult, I just freeze my butt off! c-cold

    We were fortunate here. Just got enough to make it a slight nusance (translation:
    some people just can't drive). Other than that, no big deal. South and east
    got it worse. I guess especially Long Island.
    Good news is: Today, finally, no Gray Clouds. Sunny

    Late breaking news from Big Fish - you've seen the changes, right?


    Those who know BF know nilosh, know that she is now not reviewing, but she sent me an email...

    I just tried today's NEW RELEASE, The Emptiness and if you are a fan of those classic excape room games, this one is great.  I loved the sound effects, the spooky atmosphere and I am seriously stuck during the trial so I will definitely use one of my credits on this one.  Gİve it a try and tell me what you think.  Beware, there is a warning which I thought was just the right bait for me.

    Now will visit the game forum to see if anyone can help me:))

    First sign of excitement about a game I've seen from her in months.


    Let me know what you think too - I need one more game for this month's punchcard credit.

    No, it's out today, Justie, as a soft release!  I'll make a topic in a moment Big smile

    EDIT:  The Emptiness  What I don't know is if it's a hidden object game or an adventure!  I'm guessing it's not a HOG, but if it is, I'll move it to the right section.

    Hey there, Justie, glad you mentioned this game (The Emptiness). I saw it on YT the other day and was wondering if BF would get it. (BTW, I love Nilosh's reviews!)

    I have demo'd The Emptiness and so far, it does look like an "escape the room" game. I'm not very good at these types of games and I do think I'll need paper and pencil when playing.
    I did notice the "warning" and though I'm not that far into it, there were some scary moments.

    I think a lot of patience will be needed (from me) in order to complete the game. There were no HO "lists" (that I ran into), but you do have to look for stuff, everywhere (and I mean everywhere), to advance. So, because of that, I think it plays kind of like an adventure-lite game.

    I did not get wide-screen (bummer) and my "play" area is sort of smallish. Since I can see it, I don't think it'll be a problem.

    I do have a PCC ready to expire in about 5 days, so I'm going to use it on this game next Monday. My curiosity is definitely piqued and I want to see if I can "escape" more rooms! Big smile
    Hope I can get through it without pulling my hair out. Gah!

    Oh, I almost forgot, it is a gigantic d/l file for a demo! It might've d/l'ed the entire game, IDK and won't know until I purchase it.

    lol, I didn't notice any changes at BFG until today when I went to d/l The Emptiness. Everything still works okay and I'm glad of it! Okay

    I love "escape the room" games! If you recall, Lost in the City started out as a series of escape-the-rooms before it became a full-fledged game Sunny
