I forgot the title but there was one game that let you choose your gender. Wish they all did that.

Lovely artwork with good animation and voice acting. HO scenes are pretty clear and items not too hard to find. I like the way the Hint function works in the HO scenes - it shows a silhouette of the object in its place in the scene rather than simply pointing to the object. Makes it a bit more interesting and i don't feel so bad having to resort to using Hints. grin Adding this one to my list of games to buy when I'm done with the two CE's I bought from the weekend sale. smile

Mystery of Mortlake Mansion is probably the game you are trying to remember. wave

Thanks for the feedback about the game, Sparkle; when am I ever going to have the time to play all these games? lol

I like this one, and will buy it with a bonus coupon.

Like Sparkle, I like the method of hints - not pointing directly, but giving a small picture

Slow and easy - just what I'm in the mood for

Hello,

I am playing Tales of Sorrow: Strawsbrough Town, and I am stuck.

I am supposed to go in the Mayor's Secret Room, where do I go, I tried behind him, and can't find anything.

I need help.

Thank you in advance.

Rose Marie

According to Juliejay on the BF forum it says to go through the doorway to the right of the fire.

Isn't the secret room up the stairs, where you need to have 4 keys?

It says to open the rotating cabinet to find the key.

That is what I am looking for, where is the rotating cabinet?

Barbara, I can't find it, I clicked all over, can you tell me if it is directly in back of him, or in the middle, or at the other end?

Thank you.

I recommend this game. Might be a good choice for the weekend Half Price Sale. Lots of HO scenes, but interesting story. And there's a built-in walkthrough that can be accessed via the Hint function. Takes you right to the correct page of the walkthrough related to where you are. Interesting mini-games. Only thing that I don't like is that the narration really slows down progress. Nevertheless, still worth playing.
