Just finished and enjoyed a lot... and would like to see more... BUT....

...because I don't care for the assassin theme, I'd like to see a Darryl Creed who has decided to act on the side of the 'good guys,' like his favorite female detective, Carol Reed.

The two characters could exist independently, as could the games be developed independently of each other. There could be a co-mingling of the characters and stories (like The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew).

I'd pay for a kinder, gentler Darryl Creed, right along with my purchases for future Carol Reed Mysteries. Darryl could use his old assassin skills as protection (of himself & Carol), if needed, and keep his dark humor & wit, too (love that), but no more hired-killer stuff.

If I had my d'ruthers, that's what I'd like to see.grin

For those that weren't aware, the developers also did a couple other similar games which can be downloaded-
""The Room" and "The Apartment" is a first person adventure games with a twisted sense of humor. The whole games are created with a program called "Adventure Maker" and there isn't any coding/programming behind these games. They may appear a bit crude, but these are games that you should not take seriously and the whole point with them is to make you laugh.

Story
In "The Room" you are playing a character who is trapped in a room and have to escape.
In "The Apartment" you are playing the same character as in "The Room", but this time he have to escape from an apartment.
That's it."
The Room: A Prequel to The Apartment (This is the prequel to the main game.)

The Apartment: A Sequel to The Room: A Prequel to The Apartment (This is the main game)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3XVK79I6

A walkthru has been posted at the following website for both games-

Thanks! Somehow I have missed this great game years ago.
Maybe somebody could please share working links to 'The Room' and 'The Apartment' as well?

The only direct download links I'm finding are to torrent websites.

There is also the nicely done Indie Carol Reed clone by Johan Grinde called The Artifact which, because of all this talk, I am replaying right now. I must also add that the game is playing very well on my Windows 7 64bit.

I know that Darryl Creed played perfect on XP but upon loading it I have no sound. Has anyone tried this on Windows 7 64bit and know a way to get the sound to work?

Isn't the artifact the one that is no longer available the last couple years?

'The Artifact' is a nice game as well! I have it in case anybody wants to play it.
GreyFuss, the only way to get sound in 'Darryl' is to play it in Windows XP! It could be possible to enable sound in Windows 7 by re-building the game in the latest version of Adventure Maker - I have asked the author about it, but unfortunately he no longer has the source code.

I remember asking MaG to pull out The Artifact game from Galore.

If we could get a working link, that would be great.

No those links from gamefront and megaupload that were posted back in 2011 are no longer working.
Neither are the links posted in 2012.
However before the links were removed, I had downloaded the game and saved it on my external drive.
When the 2012 links stopped working in 2013, I uploaded the game to my dropbox account as described in this old thread ***here*** and ***here***.
The dropbox link where I uploaded the game in 2013 is still good.

Free Games Galore links to the dropbox link where I uploaded the game.
So unless dropbox deletes my account, the link will stay good.

By the way, I have asked Dagon Productions about "The Room" and "The Apartment" - but no, they do not seem to have it...

Very nice of you Iurii

There was also another similar type game that was only released at Big Fish games sadly. Relics: Dark Hours http://www.bigfishgames.com/games/6777/relics/?pc

GreyFuss, thanks for the link to "Relics"! But it is not Swedish smile And it's not made of just photos, it's made as FMV - luckily we have quite a few FMV-adventures today.
And as for the photo adventures, I can also refer to 'Capri' series by Gey and Silvio Savarese - Italian pictures are usually more picturesque than Swedish smile

I have re-uploaded 'The Artifact' as the installer *.exe file (as many could prefer it over the archive) - http://1drv.ms/1IWto05

And I do hope that somebody could have 'The Room' and 'The Apartment' sitting somewhere on their hard drive...

Thanks Iurii.

I'll ask MaG to post the link at Free Games Galore.

Speaking of "The Artifact", I think the developer made a sequel (The Artifact II) which I've been looking for but have not found to date- it may not be in English, but any info on that game would be appreciated.

Unfortunately my files of the Apartment and The Room were lost with my old computer.

He never finished it and to my knowledge wasn't working on it anymore. He's on FB and last I spoke to him he wasn't doing anything anymore on the games.

One year ago Johan (the author) told me that he has put the second game on hold as he is quite busy - but he hasn't given up on it and is planning on making it bigger than the first one. So let's hope 'The Artifact 2' would be done some day!

That is great Iurii. I believe my last contact with him was 2013 and it was on hold then.

Thanks BET and Iurii-
