Currently playing MCF: Return to Ravenhearst. Well into it, and have not yet used a hint in a hidden object scene. (Oh no; that'll jinx it! And they're HARD.)
The reason I am mentioning this game is because I am so impressed with the music. I cannot find credits included with the game, and a search takes me to a list of credits; but the music is credited to a "SomaTone Interactive Audio" in California, but not a composer's name. I think it's odd the credits are not included with the game as they usually are.

Can you tell? I have decided to re-play all the Mystery Case Files; and hoping to see a new one soon, as they usually release one this time of year.

I am replaying Reflections of Life: Equilibrium CE now and have been for several days. I first played this game in 2016. This is a "big" game, with a lot to do in every scene and things to come back for once you've learned something or found a piece of inventory elsewhere. Notes are essential, and even though there is a Map in the game, I am drawing my own as I go along since it helps me keep track of what there is to do and where there is Inventory needed to do it. You get one of those companion animals to help you retrieve distant objects, etc., and I always enjoy that feature. Most of the puzzles aren't challenging, but I will say there were a couple that I had no idea what to do with, much less solve. I don't usually skip any puzzles, and I skipped one in this game.

There is no purple smoke nor any cheesy antagonists. The graphics are excellent, realistic and helpful in solving your tasks. There isn't much character interaction, but I am so engrossed in the game that I didn't notice it until halfway through. I finished the main game and am playing the Bonus Game now.

There are at least eight games in this series, but they aren't all this good. In fact, I test drove and bailed out on five of them without buying. So, it pays to play the Demo before deciding to purchase!

Tally Ho, a new MCF game will be released this year, probably in November. It's called Mystery Case Files: The Last Resort.

Reenie, I have played Equilibrium and had recommended it on a list of good games; at the time you told me that was what prompted you to download it and give it a try. I am glad to hear that you are still enjoying it.

Yes, and thank you again! The good games are ALWAYS good and worth coming back to again. This is the third time I have played it.

Reenie - wow. Your recommendation gives me something to look forward to. I have 3-ring binders full of game notes from when I was writing walkthroughs, but havent taken notes recently playing the casuals. I will download this one, just to have on hand. Thanks!! (And I promise to take notes.)

I've finally finished playing Fear for Sale City of The Past... still playing Puppet Show Her Cruel Collection SE & Amaranthine Voyage Legacy of The Guardians CE - fitting in some Elder Scrolls along the way.

Take care and Happy Gaming 😊

I finally started MCF: The Countess. I was enjoying it but am currently stuck in a puzzle without a clue even though I looked at the objective. Maybe tomorrow it will make sense to me woozy .

Good luck, ob!

Taintedfury, I can remember Fear for Sale: City of the Past being a nice long game.

I just finished "Bridge to Another World: The Others". I love the graphics in this series. While the storyline wasn't as good as in "Alice in Shadowland", I did enjoy the puzzles. There was only one mini-game I had to skip as I simply could not solve it after more than an hour. I actually wanted to go back and replay it in the Extras section but alas it was not one of the available mini-games 😢

LaurenJodi, I replayed Bridge to Another World: The Others this year, and I did enjoy the game quite a lot. I don't remember if I skipped any puzzles, but I probably did. I don't usually get through one of these games without skipping at least one.

I finished MCF: The Countess but haven't started a new casual yet, but I think the next one might be Labyrinths of the World: Changing the Past.

I want to say I liked The Countess because overall I did, however, I found the puzzles to be a mix of some that had no clues, some that made no sense even after I looked at the guide, and one that I had correct but it wouldn't accept it so I had to "skip" it. I know it was correct as I confirmed it in the guide and it was not a difficult puzzle that had multiple ways to solve.

Oldbroad, I played Labyrinths of the World: Changing the Past earlier this year, and I quite enjoyed it. I liked going to different time periods.

I haven't played MCF: The Countess yet.

I have started playing Cradle of Rome. I played this game years ago and never finished it because I ran out of lives. I thought I would see how far I could get this time.

I played both Cradle of Rome games in 2018.

I am still playing Labyrinths of the World: Changing the Past. I like it but I did not like one of the very first puzzles which I had to use the guide to solve. "Arrange figurines according to historical periods." I lost interest after multiple fails. shocked

I kind of remember that puzzle and I liked it. I am sure with a different puzzle, you would have little trouble and I would fail miserably.

I hope you enjoyed it Marian!

I finished Labyrinths of the World: Changing the past two nights ago I think. I haven't started a new casual yet. Been going crazy trying to finish Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster and finally accomplished that last night after multiple tech problems and a lot of walkthrough help. I've also been busy downloading games on my Win 10 so can't play much on it. Maybe I will start something later today though.

I enjoyed the game, but I also found myself getting aggravated at times, probably made worse by stressful life events. I am very happy to be able to say that I finished it, though.

I have Frankenstein on my computer running through a virtual machine but haven't played it yet.

I just finished City Legends: Trapped in Mirror which I thought was pretty good. It had some different puzzles, all doable in hard mode. One of them was glitchy though and several times I got kicked out of the game before I finished the puzzle. I did end up doing it though eventually. The error was DG engine stopped working. It was fine when I went back in.

I'm glad to hear you made it through the game in spite of the glitches. I played the game but did not have any technical issues.

It was just the one puzzle where the glitch occurred Marian (but more than one time). I think it didn't like all my clicking around while trying to figure out the correct route. wink
