    Thanks to DJ, I have news on an upcoming game from Awem!

    Upcoming Games! - Page 3 The-shade-effect-500-20
    The Shade Effect™️
    They say the Darkness is not as horrible as those who hide inside it. The light disperses the darkness but horrible monsters remain. Is it worth fighting your fears face to face or is it better to be in the dark? Hide in a quiet corner and survive… And what if you switch on the light and realize that there is nobody but YOU around? Does that mean YOU are the monster? Are you ready to enter a dark room with only a burning match in your hand?
    The Shade Effect™️ Features:

    • First Awem Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game
    • Become part of the mystic world
    • Reunite with the survived and find yourself
    • Perfect graphics and sound effects
    • Unique atmosphere
    • Dive into The Shade Effect!


    EDIT:  I know I've seen this video before... Did I post about this a while back and forget about it?  Wouldn't surprise me! Laugh

    Well, as teasers go, that one left a lot to be desired - yes I know, I'm supposed to have gone to bed (I played mahjong instead).

    Am really keen on seeing these guys do HOPA

    TeamTeetat wrote:Can you believe it's the end of the year already? What is your favorite game of 2013 so far? Well, your top 2013 list might gonna change soon as there are tons of exciting tiles coming up in the last month of the year - let's begin...

    The Fog: Trap For Moths is a brand new Hidden Object Adventure game from Alawar Stargaze, the creators of Forest Legends, Twisted Lands and Mountain Crime to name a few. Click on the link for the preview, the atmosphere looks to be pretty bloody scary!

    This game has a great chance of being released on Alawar tomorrow, but let's just put it here first. Dark Angels: Masquerade Of Shadows is a HOPA sets in a modern world, with a really cool story. Kate was just an ordinary girl before she went to see the therapist regarding her nightmares - weird creatures started to show up at her doorsteps threatened to kill her! The game is very interactive and just a warning, our heroine is fierce!

    The Agency Of Anomalies: Mind Invasion Collector's Edition is the fifth game in Orneon's Anomalies series. This time, the Brotherhood are trying to invade your own mind, what should you do? Take another ride on this supernatural HOPA trip!

    As we all know, the Hidden Expedition series is now being taken over by Eipix Entertainment. Hidden Expedition: Smithsonian: The Hope Diamond Collector's Edition is set to be released in December. The beta of the game was great in my opinion, it also featured real Smithsonian's artifacts! A game really worth checking out...

    Explore the town of Lake Bliss and find your missing fiancée in Mysterium: Lake Bliss Collector's Edition! It is from Big Top Games, the studio behind Fairly Twisted Tales if you can remember - the screens from Mysterium look stunning aren't they?

    From Organic to Digital, Mystic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone should be a SE HOPA release we can expect this month. I have very little information about this game, but it should be worthy of the SE price!

    I accidentally bumped into this game while checking BFG's schedule, it is a game i am really blank about but according to the name, i know two facts. First, it is going to be a F2P game; second, it is the latest addition in the Awakening franchise! Awakening Kingdoms is what it is called, how Awakening adapted into a F2P, that, i do not know.

    I am going to sum up pretty quickly two ERS sequels for this December. Spirits of Mystery: The Silver Arrow Collector's Edition and Redemption Cemetery: Bitter Frost Collector's Edition as you probably know what to expect already. Another title from ERS that really should be coming out this Christmas but not yet on the schedule is Christmas Eve: The Secret of Pandora Collector's Edition, i certainly cannot imagine playing a Christmas game during Valentine's Day next year.

    We also have another Christmas HOPA title coming out from Elephant Games, the sequel to everybody's favorite Nutcracker. Christmas Stories: A Christmas Carol Collector's Edition is going to center around the famous Chirstmas tale and it should be released simultaneously on iOS as well.

    Here to close off the thread, The Emerald Maiden: Symphony Of Dreams Collector's Edition. This HOPA is from Gogii Games and it is about an adventure in the water city, that's why it looks kinda blue...

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance from me, hope you all will have a great time celebrating the end of 2013 with these awesome games!

    News from GOG:

    Pre-Order: Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse: Season Pass
    The biggest point-and-click comeback of 2013!

    Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse: Season Pass, the complete 2-episode package of the newest entry in the fan-beloved point-and-click saga, is available for pre-orders 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $19.99 for both the first episode, that's expected to arrive on December 4, and the second one, coming out Q1 2014.

    Upcoming Games! - Page 3 1e2294eb8e45f1d5324c20fc9c42144452f4a4ad_smallMurder, conspiracy, mystery, occult, fine art, and--of course--George Stobbart and Nico Collard, the dynamic detective duo: all that is making a sensational return in the long-awaited continuation of the iconic Broken Sword adventure game saga. In Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse, makes sure that all the die-hard fans of the series will feel right at home. Even the modern-day graphics go a long way to reflect the style and charm of the classic 2D episodes. What's new, is the actual adventure--bigger, more exciting, and more dangerous than ever before. Make sure not to miss it, as the credentials of the game's development team promise nothing short of a modern point-and-click classic!

    The game has been divided into two episodes, one of them expected to launch in about a week from now, and the second planned for the first quarter of 2014. You will get both episodes upon their respective releases when you get our Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse: Season Pass, now with the 20% discount! That's only $19.99, and the offer will only last until the first episode's release (ETA. December 4, 2013).
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    As a side note, I just went to Steam, and they have the first episode available for pre-purchase, too.  The second episode is a free update, and their sale price is $23.99.  I'd much rather have the DRM-free version, and for $4.00 less, that's even better! Big smile

    There was a monster-thingy? Huh?  I totally missed it!

    *goes off to look*

    Oh... huh.  Looks like the shadow of a scarab beetle trying to grab the moth.

    *deadpan* Still not gripping.

    Actually, I wish, that if they must do the smartphone thing they'd do android, then I would have something on my phone for moments of extreme boredom (usually waiting for doctors).

    But I seriously hope these F2P damn games will disappear, or at least not start replacing our pc games because I am NEVER going to pay for a game that is allegedly free! Besides, as far as I'm concerned, it's no better than gambling, in fact, worse, because at least gambling there MIGHT be a payoff as well as keeping yourself amused.

    Hmmm, chatty today, aren't I?

    I just beta tested a new Gogii game that looks good (thank you! thank you!

    thank you!) FLOWERRS 

    btw, I now get beta tests quite often and even from big fish!

    The Emerald Maiden: Symphony of Dreams

    Fantastic art deco, throughout the ultimate entertainment house complete with ballroom that has ceiling frescos like something out of the Cistene Chapel.

    And marvellous worlds where you can make your dreams come true - for a price.

    Don't know about it being dark and eerie, but it sure as heck is colourful and eerie. hypnotize

    Wow, two games from my favorite developer - Alawar. Yippee!!

    Oh man, I wonder if Esoterica: Hollow Earth is by the same team that did the sci-fi HOPA, Eternal Journey: New Atlantis. If it is, it'll be an instant buy!
