I have yet to play any of the Riddles of Fate games.

I'm playing Insane Cold: Back to the Ice Age. It's not bad. SE with no collectibles getting in the way. No voice acting (I don't think). Have to read the journal to know what the story is about and you have to remember to go back to some prior scenes to check for HOGS. I'm not getting frustrated so I'm happy .

Oh, I loved that series, too! Especially liked Riddles of Fate: Wild Hunt Wow! Huge game, great graphics, tough puzzles and a long playing time. I replayed all three RoF games during the Covid shut-in.

Nice to see you, Reenie! Hope you had a good holiday.

Ob, I have Insane Cold but haven't played it yet. I think it's supposed to be a pretty long game, too!

Sorry I haven't been active recently. Had some pesky medical issues. I'm busily catching up on old posts now, looking for new games that people have played and rated.

Sorry to hear that, Reenie. I hope things are going better for you now (and that you find some good new games to play).

Well, I just bought Riddles of Fate: Wild Hunt based on this conversation (not to mention a 50% sale.) Quite a decent game, so far.

I'm close to the end of the bonus game in "Ms. Holmes : The Monster of the Baskervilles [CE]" now and have to say the whole game has been excellent !!
Right up my street

EDIT :
OK. Totally finished Ms. Holmes now and very much enjoyed it

And I've installed "Dark Alleys : Penumbra Motel" for my next play.
[I think it might be an old game but I've never played it before. It does have a strategy guide included though and is looking as though it will have a pretty decent story - from the opening scenes ]

Mad, I played Penumbra Motel for the first time last year and enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked the Ms. Holmes game too.

I hope you enjoy Riddles of Fate: Wild Hunt, Tally Ho.

👍👍👍

I'm very much enjoying the Penumbra Motel game but it definitely encompasses some complicated puzzles !!

[I've come up against a couple where I've just HAD to consult the guide ]

I needed to consult the guide too, Mad. As I recall, I looked at it more than a few times.

Yes. I have no doubt I'll need to consult it again, too, at some stage

I started House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster last night.

I am replaying "Secrets of the Dark ~ Eclipse Mountain," and really loving it. This game has everything I want: lots of depth, lots of different scenes, original ideas (morphing scenes, for one example), a high degree of complexity, a wide variety of puzzles (some of which are unique), good graphics, etc. There are plenty of HO scenes but none is particularly difficult (although some items are small). I would love to hear from anyone about games similar to this one. One of my Top Ten.

I haven't played that game Reenie but I have it along with the other 3 in the series. Have you played any of those? Maybe they are similar.

I loved all the games in the Secrets of the Dark series.

Here is a list of most or all of their games. As I recall, they all play similarly.

Yes, I bought them all, too! Superb games with HUGE environments to explore, loaded with unusual and complex puzzles to solve, innovative design, great artwork with terrific detail. The only one that let me down was Temple of Night. Didn't measure up to the others.

I really enjoyed Temple of Night, even though it seemed a little shorter than the other offerings in the series. I've played it twice so far. You really can't go wrong with any of Orneon's games.

I haven't played that particular House of 1000 Doors game, ob, although of course I have it.

I've played a lot that are on that list too, Marian, and enjoyed them

Yes, they are all very good, Mad.

I am just now starting It Happened Here: Streaming Lives CE.

Enjoy !! 👍

I'll be curious to know what you think of it Marian.

I am between casual games at the moment.

I've only played a little bit of the game but so far I am finding it merely okay. A lot of that has to do with the environments presented so far, which have been rather grungy (like an automotive wrecking yard). They are in keeping with the subject matter of the game, though, so I can't really complain. I'll see how I feel after I have gotten further into it.

Hope it improves for you, Marian 🤞

Im replaying the Dana Knightstone series, I like them all but my favorite is the first Death at Fairing Point.
