I've been re-playing all the Mystery Case Files games starting with Huntsville. Right now, about 3/4 the way through Escape From Ravenhearst. I had forgotten some of the yucky stuff (Mother's nose hairs etc.) but I do think this one ranks as the most difficult game in the series. Much of it plays like a traditional adventure; and the hidden object scenes are actually hidden morphing-object scenes.

Just downloaded MCF The last Resort.

I finished Adera last night. It is definitely a game to be played. There are a lot of puzzles and I enjoyed MOST of them. There were a couple that required just a bit more quickness and mouse mashing than I like but they may not be a problem for others. There were also a couple of puzzles that you can't tell if you have everything you need to complete them. I think they were in the last episode which seemed just a tad different than the others though I can't say why or how - it may have just been in my mind. This game took me about 17 hours to play. I admit to one peek of a video walkthrough.

I started The Christmas Spirit: Journey Before Christmas two nights ago. I didn't play much but felt a bit bored, possibly because I was still playing Adera or maybe I was just tired. I'll see how it goes when I continue it.

I will definitely put Adera on my play list, ob. It sounds great!

I am still playing Cave Quest 2. It is a nice long game. I am still playing the main game so haven't seen the CE portion of the game yet.

I only have the SE of Cave Quest 2 which I still haven't started but I think I will download today since you have reminded me of it.

I am replaying Portal of Evil: Stolen Runes and loving it. Challenging, huge environment, clear and realistic graphics. The HO scenes can be a pain, as they feature some very tiny objects. The graphics are exemplary and puzzles creative. Glad I have the Bonus Play to look forward to when I've finished the main game.

I'm currently playing "Book Travelers: A Victorian Story" CE and enjoying it very much. I just started last night but, so far, so good!

Hi, Marian!

I think you'll enjoy it as well. It's not overly difficult and the characters are all familiar lol. I had 5 games that I either bought on sale or got for free, and "Lost Lands: Redemption" was a very long one, so I think I'm good to go until the next sale.

Mad, that is the last casual game I played in 2022 also (The Christmas Tree Forest) and I also enjoyed it.

Yesterday I started Living Legends: The Blue Chamber and am enjoying it.

Thank you for helping me resurrect this thread, Mad and for telling us what games you are enjoying. smile

OB, I played the Blue Chamber CE and found the game to be quite long.

I finished Laruaville 13 a few days ago and am now playing Spellarium 8.

I've been replaying the Dark Tales Edgar Allan Poe's series. It was nice to start with the very first one.

I've been wanting to start playing that series for a long while now lol.

My first casual and my first adventure game of the year are both frustrating me. The repeating puzzle in The Blue Chamber is starting to annoy me as it requires some quickness and timing but you lose control of the cursor after each move and don't get control back quickly enough. Argh hardwall

I don't remember that repeating puzzle in Blue Chamber. I will look it up on YouTube.

I don't know if you found the puzzle or not Marian but it was the one you did each time you had to find a feather for the music box in the left corner of the screen so you could break a spell or something or other. Anyway, the one I was frustrated about in my last post was the last of those puzzles and I ended up skipping it. I have now finished the main game. At the end you choose yes or no to believe the woman and give her the daggar or not. I wonder if anybody tried the "yes" option. I was looking at some walkthroughs on YouTube but they all showed taking the "no" option. I wonder if it made any difference to the ending. Do you know? Or anybody else know?

Ob, I can't remember what option I chose at the end of the game. I wish I knew!

And I thought I knew what puzzle you were talking about after having looked on YouTube, but I was wrong. I'll take another look when I get a chance.

This one here that starts at 2:28:11 or so. In the video the "count" goes away real fast after just a couple of moves but I could not get it to stop. I could not get control of my mouse for some reason.

Forgot the link.

Well, I played the mini-game in the "extras" after I completed the bonus chapter and finally did manage to beat it.

Gotta' be crazy, to keep from going insane crazy

That is such a good game, smitty! I have played it twice and will most certainly play it again. yes

I finished Spellarium 8 yesterday. Next up will be a HOPA, but not sure which one yet.
