You can do it, Marian!  I have finished the main game of Grim Tales: The Legacy and will tackle the bonus chapter today. I admit to using the guide for about 3 more of the puzzles which didn't hold my interest enough to give them the time I gave to those other four. I have also been playing Legend of Maya, a Match 3 game. I am somewhere around Level 125. I think the levels started repeating around 115, though I am not absolutely certain of that. It's keeping me entertained when I don't feel like puzzling.

Left in the Dark: No One on Board was pretty short. I finished it two nights ago. I did skip one puzzle towards the end of the game where you had to pick 3 locks and you were on a timer. I got the first one but got frustrated rather quickly with the second one and skipped it.
Tonight I started Ghost Encounters - Deadwood in Windows 10. According to Gamehouse it does not play in Win 10. I played for about an hour but I can't say it's running fine. It is very slow and sluggish at times and I sometimes have to wait after clicking to see if something will happen or not. Although, my computer seems to be kind of slow and sluggish this evening anyway so I'm not sure how much of that is the game. I think mostly it is the game though. We'll see what happens going forward.
Edit: Well, I played for another hour and I can pretty much tell now when it will not be responsive. For instance, there is movement like flames around the hint button. If they go still, my click won't work. If they are flickering, I'm good to go. Just need to keep patient and aware. However, I am playing in Expert mode so I have to click around quite a lot as there are no action indicators including on the HO scenes. I have started 3 profiles. The first one got ruined because I had clicked back a screen before waiting for an item to actually fall to where I could pick it up and it got lost in Limbo. The second one I did put on Casual mode but cannot stand all of the arrows and sparkles so I didn't even try it.
I'm playing the Steam version.

I just installed "Brink of Consciousness : Dorian Gray Syndrome (CE)" - which I've never played before.
Anyway, the opening scenes certainly seem to show it as a game I could well be going to enjoy πππ

I also liked The Lonely Hearts Murders. In fact, I mentioned it in our Reviews and Recommendations thread here in the Casual Games forum: Brink of Consciousness: The Lonely Hearts Murders
Developed by: Magic Indie
This game was released on Big Fish in November 2012. This was back in the days before achievements, pop-ups, and announcements, so there are none. No dexterity challenges that I can recall. This is a good detective story set in Victorian England. There is quite a bit of dialogue, which I personally enjoy, but I know that some players find this tiresome. It plays like an adventure game more than a HOG. There are some hidden object scenes but not a huge amount. There are also some good puzzles that I found fun to solve.
I purchased the Collector's Edition. One of the extras in the CE is an interview with the developer, which I found interesting and a welcome addition to the usual.
There are three levels of difficulty from which to choose.
I enjoyed the game very much and am replaying it right now - an oldie but a goodie.
