I purchased the game but don't know how to download it! Can anyone help me please?

Got the email from paypal but no instructions with it like it said there would be.

Thanks to anyone for there help in advance!

Lori

Hmmm Lori, did you check your junk/spam folder to see if the instructions ended up there?

Hi Lori -- how's the weather in Rupert?

I just purchased it from Big Finish, and I checked my email shortly after the purchase, and there was a Paypal email that contained the receipt, but also an email from Big Finish Games with instructions for downloading. If you didn't get both emails, you could post in their forum here.

Not in there!

Very confused! Can't find a download link or anything!

This is only the second of these "Casual" things Ive tried. The first one (CSI NY) kept my interest for about 10 minutes, I just couldnt believe how bad it was and this one, which I`d been looking forward to, I managed about 30mins. I really wanted to like this but there`s just nothing there. Some of the gfx are difficult to make out what they are, which I would have thought was essential seeing as you have to match them up to words and some of the `phrases` might make sense in America but they don`t travel - sugar pea? Really? The two game makers behind this are really talented blokes and it`s a crying shame they are wasting their talents in the casual arena. Having said that I hope they make lots of money so they can get back into proper Adventure gaming.

Hi Becky weather is not good, very windy and just not being nice!

I didn't get an email from Big Finish will go there now!

Thanks
Lori

I'd imagine this one is "sweet pea"?

AdventureGamers has posted a review of the game:

Three Cards to Midnight/Review

This game is getting tougher. Finding the objects more tricky, some of the phrases I have never heard of and some are quite cryptic.
The puzzles are also getting harder and I have skipped a couple now.
Kind of wish I started on easy - it said easy was for children and people that were not so good at english LOL- guess thats me.
Would not have thought this was a kids game though.

Look forward to hearing how you go Barbara and anyone else playing

Why is this in casual games, surely its an adventure game?

Hi Sherryah

From what I can tell of the websites I have visited, RA and GamesHouse are the only ones with a demo at the moment.

As it is a 204mb download, I wonder if BigFish would even have a trial if they get the game? I know they had a special demo version for CSI done- I am not sure what their limit is of classing a game "large file".

If I hear of any other sites with a demo I will be sure to let you know.

Skeeter -- after the members started playing it, the determination was made that it is more a casual game than an adventure game, so it was moved to the Casual forum.

Sugar peas are otherwise known as snap peas or full term of sugar snap peas. It is a correct term.

Yesterday I played the demo and I didn't find the game particularly compelling.

The good things about it were the audio production quality and the Tarot cards design - mainly the atmosphere they're able to conjure up together with some Twilight Zone references and mechanics. The storyline didn't seem too bad as well.

However, the backgrounds filled with hidden and non-hidden objects don't really have much artistic value to them - they were photoshopped in low resolution in a manner that is often barely functional for the gameplay. They must have been put together in quite a rush.

The word association puzzles lack a real game designer's touch. They seem to have been randomly taken out of a dictionary. Possibly because the usual HOG audience doesn't expect anything more anyway. To me, guessing these unrelated word connections brings little satisfaction, only the revealed story bits keep me playing.

The game is not bad - it's just very modest and simple in its design. Hopefully things change further in.

That`s my point. It might be a US term but it isn`t outside - certainly not in the UK anyway. I`ve never heard of it and now that you`ve explained it I`m still none the wiser.

I need help with the Runes puzzle in the first chapter.

Anybody?

I had heard of snap pea (I am in Australia) - though it never occured to me that was a pea on the table there but I had never heard of some things- a couple of examples I just think of offhand



At least we had hints I guess otherwise I still be there scratching my head on some of these LOL
Fun and challening game that is for sure

Hi Kate,
Yes I can help with runes puzzle chapter 1.


The solution is



rotate the runes to state that.

Ah, so what is a snap pea? A sweet? Peapod?

And how do you do that Warning, Spoiler thing?

Thank you Bella Rosa...
I will be back if I need help.

Hi mjc2

Snap pea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_pea

To do the spoiler tags

type [*spoiler]insert spoiler text here[*/spoiler] omitting the *

otherwise click on the megaphone looking thingo at the top of the reply bar and insert your text between those tags.

Are you enjoying the game now you have played more?

Thanks Bellarosa, you learn something new everyday. I just know them as peapods never heard of snap peas or sugar peas.



Thanks for the Spoiler info as well.

Mj2c, the terms "snap pea" and "sugar pea" may be more regional--I grew up with those terms in the south.

Glad you figured out the spoilers

I cannot for the life of me get gamehouse to download the trial for me. I have the same problem with realarcade. They both use Realarcade download manager. I have Vista 32 please Bella, and others who have succeeded in downloading from Gamehouse for this game, or any other Gamehouse game, please tell me what Firewall you are using? What VP you are using? Even when I disable my firewall I still can't get it downloaded, it says I am not connected to the internet and I know that I am. I really want to try out the game. Thanks in advance. I am using Comodo Firewall free one, and Avast VP.

EDIT.................
I tried to DL this using Firefox and IE 7. Just now I finally got to a form that said do you agree to these rules? I went to click on agree, but nothing happens, everything just hangs there. I finally cancel out and another form from Gamehouse asks me to take a survey on what the problem was I canceled my DL. Again when I type the problem and hit submit, nothing happens, it just hangs there. That is why I will use whatever FW and VP whoever is successful in DL from Gamehouse and has Vista 32. Thanks again for listening to my rant.

Hi sherryah,
sorry you are having so much trouble, I can see you really want to try this game and I wish I could help but have no answer.
I have XP on my desktop and what I use to download from Gamehouse and do not get all these popup surveys you mention.

I never had problems until yesterday downloading this game but after a while all was ok.

I am sorry I am no help- mabe the technical forums here can help you??
