I suppose dealing with that family would age a person. Drastically.
I know it has aged me.

Wow, Auntie Detective Gray now looks like Jessica Fletcher? She's aging faster than kids on TV shows. One season, they're babies...the next season, they're teens.
I liked Dire Grove 2, also. Well, most of it. I didn't like the question choices that Elephant's now come up with in some of their games. To me, it's only a time-killer and I don't like it in any game.
And the super puzzles were hard with no logic at all.
I can't remember if I played the CE or SE.
I don't have a clue what I'm going to play next. I think I'm entering another Game Funk. Maybe I'll rescue the Clueless Clan once again. *sigh*
Or maybe the new Mystery Trackers.

The Clueless Clan is always in need or rescuing. They're dumber than a bowl of oatmeal. 
ETA: You know, I'm surprised the Pond People didn't have their collective panties in a bunch over this game. It's very demon-y and dark magic-y... and that usually sets them off.

The new Clueless Clan game is demon-y and dark magic-y? Well, I didn't know that. It didn't strike me as being a demon-y and dark magic-y game from playing part of the demo.
I think the Pond People are busy griping about all the cutie helpers we're seeing. Good grief, they did gripe long enough about all the D&E games, so now we get fairytales and cutie helpers.
Gee, thanks Pond People.

I started playing Grim Facade: Hidden Sins. I was really enjoying it, but it just froze up.
I will try to play it again in a little while, see if it behaves itself.
Good news. I went back in and it behaved itself. Played to the end.
I will probably wait for the SE.

I liked the demo of Grim Façade: Hidden Sins, also. For sure, it's a darker game than ERS' usual fare.
And, of course, a few people were griping about it.
And, of course, I knew I had to demo it because of the griping.
I'll probably get it. I'll wait to see what Saturday's CE is...and if there's a good sale going on.

Okay. Fine. I saved the family from the boogey monster curse witch thingamabob, but I refuse to go to the secret room and help the kid with her homework.
I'm so DONE with you, Clueless Clan. DONE!
No more. Ever.

Until The Next Time 
(Of Course, it is the Final suspect, so maybe you won't be tempted anymore.)
I wish the sale was better. Oh well. I am going to demo Forgotten Kingdoms: The Ruby Ring.

Well, not sure if its just me, but Forgotten Rubies is Forgettable for me.
Its just not inspiring me to want to buy, so I will be saving my money. I really want to
get DP: The Ballad of Rapunzel CE, so I am waiting for a good CE sale.
This weekend sale is not inspiring me.

The screenshots for Forgotten Rubies didn't look interesting to me, so no need to demo.
I won't be participating in this weekend's sale, either.
I just finished MT: Nightsville Horror. It was okay although by the time I got to the end, I was kind of bored with the whole thing. I didn't even feel like playing the bonus, but I did and discovered the bonus is not necessary for a satisfactory ending. I should've used a PCC for the SE.
Our weather has been terrible. Rain, rain, and more rain for days now. I know we're getting remnants of Hurricane Bill (or whatever his name is), but it was raining here before that.
All this rain makes me feel kind of blah.

I just looked at the Forgettable Rubies game... I'll pass. Definitely will pass on the Labyrinths of the World game. The sale is lame, so I think for fun, I'll just go downvote all the reviews whining about how dark and creepy the new ERS game is.
Yes, I am a petulant child some days!

@Esme!!!!!!The new Grim Façade is dark, but it's not creepy. And it was sort of easy. I'm in agreement with luvtoread...I'll wait for the SE.

You know how I feel about ERS games in general: too easy, too formulaic, too yawn.
But never too dark. I was just annoyed at the sunshine committee who once again is griping because not every game fits their idea of what's "right".
So I went snark sniping.
Like I said, probably childish, but I don't care! LOL!

I would say you were hunting the Wascally Wabbit---but I think you are the Wascally Wabbit.

Who me? I don't know what you are talking about! 
LOL!
I decided to start playing the new Surface game... Alone in the Mist. Gotta admit, I'm liking it a lot. Surface games rarely disappoint me though.

Alone in the Mist had a very abrupt ending. I was a little surprised, to be honest. 
Interesting game though.

I started playing the beta of Redemption Cemetary: something something.
This is another series that should come to an end. Someone dies, you
have to help them by changing their history or story or whatever.
I was bored.
I could not believe the Eipix sale does not have the Ballad of Rapunzel. It has some
other DP.
I need to play demo of DM: Thin Ice and see if I want to buy.

I can't believe I am not buying anything! About the only CEs I have in my "must have" folder are EIPIX!

Exactly this. Ugh. This is apparently one of those sacred series like Puppetshow that just won't stop. I stopped buying them (and Puppetshow) several games ago. Just too boring!

I went back in to finish the game. I don't know--its slightly different then previous
Redemption Cemetary. But the ending made me feel--like it didn't matter what you
did. Too many chances.
I do not want to give out spoiler for those who play it.
But, I am still ambivilent about it.
I let them know that the game was boring, and that they should develop a new type of game.

luvtoread, I think the Ballad of Rapunzel is a Blue Tea game. It might've been their last DP game before Eipix took over.
I thought I'd already played the new Redemption Cemetery, but I reckon not. It was another ERS game, I don't remember which one and I do remember I didn't like it.
Justie, I have about 3 of the newest Eipix games I haven't played yet!
I'm getting ready to play Sable Maze: Twelve Fears.

Oh, well then, I'd better play that Redemption Cemetery I still have showing on my desktop since there's a new RC coming out.
Though I am not in a hurry to play it.
One of the CEs coming out this week (maybe) is Spirit of Revenge: Elizabeth's Secret. I liked the last game, so I'm going to check it out on YT.
And...I don't know why BF's FB page only lists 1 new CE for the week. It's been like that for a few weeks. I would prefer they listed both CEs. I could manage my purchasing better if I kind of knew what was scheduled for release.

The images from SoR:E'sS looked interesting. I don't think I played the first one, though I'm sure I have it. I might have to give it a try.
I ended up being just a bit disappointed with Surface: Alone in the Mist. It was an abrupt and sort of stupid ending. At least IMO. And the bonus section was silly. Again, at least IMO.
I really want a good, fun, creepy, challenging game. Is that too much to ask? (The answer, apparently, is YES lately. Ugh.)
