Dark & Eerie Games Thread

It can't take too long because there is another Clueless Clan offering, and they always seem to lower the logic bar!

Yup, I thought of that-it would be logical, right?

Nope, it turns out I had to talk to the detective's wife so she can tell me she's waiting
for me (like her standing there wasen't a clue), then I could pour the fuel in.


esme--what about being suspicious of the guy who steals the file?

Speaking of grilling sausages, I'm hungry!

LMAO! Y'all are cracking me up!

Heck, we can't get through a game without a few (or numerous) eye-rolls.

We always have to feed the dog guarding whatever needs to be guarded so we can proceed. We have to find the bone/meat/toy, and sometimes, thaw/cook/toss it.
Now, our dog requires a snack when we get home. No matter if we've been out of the house for 5 min. or 5 hours. She will sit in front of her snacks (on a high shelf) until rewarded for a job well-done.

I would refuse to stay in a creepy hotel with an operating room in the basement. In fact, I wouldn't step foot in a creepy hotel...period. I'd tell hubs I'm just not doing it.
A couple of years ago, hubs and I got lost driving down some road. We'd missed our turn-off. Eventually, the road turned to gravel and I kept telling him the surroundings did not look familiar at all. Pretty soon, we were in a forest and came upon a fork in the gravel-turned-dirt road.
I'm telling you, I thought we were in a Wrong Turn movie.

I told him to turn the damn car around, I do not want to go any further. I was freaked out enough already. He did turn around, thank goodness.
To this day, I've no idea where we were and I don't want to know.

Well, I've thought about it and I'm going to demo the SE of the recently released House of 1000 Doors.
I didn't care for the CE at all and I know it's a different team of developers than the previous games.

I loved Paranormal Pursuit: The Gifted One. I stopped playing so I could upgrade to the CE during a sale.
Good storyline and great cut-scenes, an all-around enjoyable game.

It's kind of hard for me to believe, the same developers did both games (Logris Games).

I will have to look into that one, DJ. I just tried Amaranthine Voyage: Shadow of Torment and the only thing being tormented was me. Too many fairies and magical whatzits for me. Ugh. 

OK, that should be all of the new game topics of note.

I have 13 days left to find a job

My sympathies. Have you updated your resume?

Yep, I need to tailor it to three different applications, which I'm hoping to submit tomorrow.

Keeping my fingers crossed, Genki. 

Wow, two popular F2P games from Boomzap no longer updated. Sucky SE HOGS. I never know when Bonus Punch day is going to happen, therefore, I can't strategize my PC accurately.
I'm wondering why I still keep my membership at BFG.

I'm playing the bonus in Cadenza: Kiss of Death. And boy, did I have trouble with this game. I can say, without a doubt, the HO lists DO NOT change items. I know this because I had to un/reinstall the game 3 times.
First time was the beta. Second and third was because HO listed items were not showing up in certain scenes. I could blindly click and a cross-out would show on the list, well, I didn't feel like playing that way.
Finally got it to install correctly. After all that restarting...I didn't like it as well as I did the first Cadenza.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel that quality control has sharply declined at BFG. While Customer Service has always been exceptional, I've never turned in a tech issue ticket. It's not worth it to me to have to change my whole computer in order to play a game. I'm definitely not tech savvy, so if a un/reinstall doesn't work (ever), I'm up the sh*t creek and chalk it up to a bad experience.
The SE games...what in the world???? I'm not talking about CEs turned SEs. I'm talking about the hidden "gems" we would get every once in awhile, where are they???? Geesh.
I feel I have to buy the big name developer's games just to keep them developing, even though I like the lesser-known developers and want to support them also, and sometimes, more than the big names.
Cause even the big devs release below par games, IMO.

I guess I'm kind of worried is all. The more articles I read about casual gaming vs. mobile games, it doesn't look good for us HOPA players.

Although many despise the Evil Steam Empire, I'm appreciating them more and more.  I've come to actually like their invasive game manager, and I simply love being able to easily snap a screen and upload it to the daily activity feed for all of my friends to see/comment on.

The nicest thing of all is that I frequently pay less than a dollar per game, due to the bundle deals, PLUS the Steam sales have very nice prices (the summer sale is just around the corner!)  All of those bundle games that I have no interest in can be given or traded away, and I activate the ones with Steam trading cards so that I can sell them and have Steam Wallet $, which helps pay for said games!  It's all very nice.

Man, Juliette was a prime example of "Good girl gone Evil bitch". She totally flipped out and was on the power hungry train to nowhere.
There was absolutely NO coming back from what she'd done to Nick.
I was happy to see Truble back and I hope she stays.

Here in the UK, we get Grimm several weeks after US, so haven't seen the finale yet. But I saw how Nick reacted when she confided in him, and revealed she's now a hexen beast.  He wouldn't even look at her!  She feels rejected by him.  No wonder she's angry.  Poor Juliette 

Hope there's a BOGOF sale this weekend - could do with some cheering up. 


BTW, has anyone else noticed - the Top 10 games at BFG, their casino game is ALWAYS at number 3.  Most games go up & down in the Top 10, but the casino seems fixed at #3.  Makes me suspicious that BFG just fix the list however they want... 

Oh my gosh, I felt so sorry for Juliette, too, Frodo, when Nick couldn't/wouldn't even look at her.

I noticed that about the Casino game and I'm always getting emails about it, though I've never played it. (And don't want to)

We haven't had a BOGO sale, hmm....seems like forever. On BF's FB page, sometimes they list the new releases for the week, and sometimes, they don't.
For me, I'd like to know what's coming out. That way, I can better plan my purchases for the month.
One good thing about waiting - I can read about all the tech issues and decide if I want to chance it or not.
I reckon they don't always announce upcoming games because of the public outcry of "You said this game was coming out this week and it's not here. I'm so disappointed, etc."
Well, I know it's not carved in stone on what games are released. Things happen and a scheduled game may have to be pulled for technical reasons. I'd rather they attempt to fix the game before releasing it.

Well, I'm going to demo Haunted Train 2. It looks a little cartoonish and I think there's a gadget involved.

Haunted Train 2 is ok. Didn't grab me as much as #1 did, but I will eventually get it.

Well, we have our BOGO sale. I am definitely getting the new Grim Nutty family and
Dark Parables: Queen of Sands. I have 2 Game Credits so I might as well use them.

I have been playing Living Legends: Frozen Beauty that I bought as a COW. I really
have been enjoying it; though when it came time to rescue those young girls I really
thought that it was a bad idea to keep frozen forever whiny petulant demanding teenage
girls who could still complain in their spirit form.
I get why they are ticked off, but I still would not want to listen to them!

Off to buy and play.

About time we got a BOGO sale! Just came to tell everyone, but luvto beat me to it. Good job!


I picked up the new Dark Parables, the new Grim Tales, Dark Romance Something-or-Other, and Sable Maze: 12 Fears. Should be an interesting haul! 

I also want to get Sable Maze. Not sure what I will pair it with, want to demo the new one
out today--something about a baby and prophecies.

esme---you have to join us in saving the Grimm whacko family. They always make for
interesting story lines

I love Blue Tea games. Really enjoy all the intricate stuff they include.
Oh, and I was right about that lion
I thought of Vincent from the 80's version of Beauty and the Beast.


Unfortunately, I have to stop playing and get some stuff done this morning.
Then I can get back to what is more entertaining to me!

I just got to a part where our Heroic Detective passes out (that seems to be a thing with
heroic game playing Detectives, doesn't it?) (Dark Parables, by the way).
Well, came to and was given the finger.
I had to be saved by somebody's singing voice.

I finished DP.   That really was a long game and I really enjoyed it.  Even played the Bonus.
Finding some of those FROG's   was a PITA  at times.   I nearly fell asleep trying to find some
itty bitty little object.  

Now I am playing  Grim Tales.    It is not centered on the family,  but does involve the niece,
Julie,  Janey,   Mary Jane,  whatever her name is.
Thanks to having the gift,   we go on a Magical Mystery Tour,   never having to leave the bed.
Which is how I play my games.      
Oh,    and there is a pic of "me" (or our character)   the Auntie with the Gift.  
 Just think of Jessica Fletcher instead of Pamela Anderson.    
  Why is there a letter I wrote and mailed to my sister in my drawer? Shouldn't she have it?

I don't think it is going to take as long to play this as DP.     Good thing I get my games on sale.

I bought 4 CEs and 2 SEs on the sale, then used the pccs to get another 3 SEs. 

God only knows why. I have over 100 unplayed Big Fish games - some where I haven't played the previous game in the series. 

I can sympathize. I have a few I need to finish, plus I bought 2 more CE's today.
I really wanted Sable Maze. Then I realized I never bought DP: The Purple Tide Mermaids.
.I also have 2 pcc's I will need to use soon.
Come to think of it, I do not have the Rapunzel one either.

That is not including the games I have from other sites that have been waiting for 2 years to be
played!

I was rather hoping you wouldn't "include them"   Add 50 more to my unplayed dance card

I just finished the main game in DP: Little Mermaid and the Purple Goo. I can't help it. I just love that series. They're so beautiful and I am a weirdo who actually enjoys FROG games. I'd put it off because of new devs/designers, but I am happy with the game and it was fairly lengthy too. I'll try to get to the bonus section today. I have been pacing myself with the Clueless Clan. I guess Auntie Gray aged pretty fast because she was fairly young just a few games ago. Ugh. I don't know why I keep inflicting this series on myself other than the sheer idiocy of it all! LOL

I hope you are all having a great Monday (if, indeed, it is Monday in your part of the world) and that the US folks have a great holiday. We BBQed yesterday and worked in the house and yard. Today I'm just going to chill, which also sounds fabulous. 

It's been confirmed -- I got the job!  Friday is my last day of my current job, I get a week of "vacation," and then I start my new job on the 8th!   Happy day~!
