What a great way to start the New year! You can purchase Carol Reed Mystery #18 - The Game Maker Here. Quote Eager to make some money for her upcoming vacation, Carol agrees to help Dalton Jonson to investigate the recent disappearance of his wife, Daria. Carol's investigation soon reveals that an elusive video game designer seems to have a very hostile attitude towards Daria. In a series of eccentric and unsuccessful games, the game designer is taking responsibility for three recent brutal murders: Three men who were sedated, strangled, and placed in public locations with their hands tied behind their backs. Happy Gaming! Don't feed the Trolls

We would love to hear your thoughts also, however, I'm not sure I'm ready to read that kind of stuff right now. I want to play the game without any outside distractions in my mind. I'm not too far in but already forming some thoughts of my own.

I am fighting looking in the hints discussions already as I do like to see what others are getting stuck on but that will have to wait. Edit: Makes me remember when I kept posting in there about a game you hadn't played yet but I knew you were going to play, but that you helped me with. I feel sorry all over again for that. Were you a game tester this year Marian? Last edited by oldbroad; 01/04/23 12:48 PM.

I do have the game now, though, and look forward to playing it. And no worries about the hint forum questions. If there were spoilers for me, I have already forgotten them.

I have (mostly) learned to turn around first, before doing anything else, to see what the exit looks like. Right now though, I am stuck in an area looking for something I saw previously, and can't find it again. Arrgh!

Trying to find my way out of Carol's apartment is what always stumps me. no matter how many of these games I play I never quite get it. I've thought on more than one occasion that I'll have to draw a plan of the place and then thought "No. that is beyond stupid. Stop being pathetic".

I've thought on more than one occasion that I'll have to draw a plan of the place and then thought "No. that is beyond stupid. Stop being pathetic". If I had a problem like that, I would totally draw a map on paper. In fact I have done that for another game So I don't think that's pathetic, it's just a matter of doing what feels good for YOU. Heck, I might even build a scaled model of the place if that made me happy lol. /Kim https://www.twitch.tv/plutoiswatching/about

I am supposed to look for something at the canoe. I saw the canoe already; but cannot find it again. Anybody want to spoil me? I won't tell.
