gamenut and sureshot, were you able to get the ceiling puzzle in the cellar? I still have not been able to do it. Just spent another hour trying with the help of a nice step by step in the Steam forum, but no can do.

Did you find all of the extras? I did not, so I missed out on some stuff there too.

Did you do anything with the Halloween stuff that is now available on there? I was only able to get 16 of 18 pumpkins.

Hi oldbroad -I think you are talking about the designs on the ceiling with 3 points that rotate? If so, I worked that one backwards... Look on one of the walls - you will see the stationery design "pointing" down to the floor tile. So I started from the one on the wall - then followed the blank tiles backwards to the "next" design. I pointed that one to the one I came from. I just kept going backwards pointing each design back to the one I came from. Eventually, I ended up at the "Starting Point" and solved that puzzle.

I finished the game before the Halloween update came out - I don't think I am re-playing it at this point. I was just happy to complete it.

I hope this helps you!!

Thanks sureshot. I'll give that a try at some point. Kind of disheartened by it at the moment.

Had you found all of the extra stuff (coins, etc.)?

You don't have to replay the game to look for the pumpkins. I don't know what happens when you find them all, if anything. If you have the game from Steam, it automatically updated and you just go back into the game you were playing.

Hey, Thanks sureshot. That tip of yours worked! I got it.

Thanks for your help, sureshot.

Your Welcome oldbroad - stay with it, I am sure you will enjoy the rest of the game as much as I did, and thank you too Marian!

I am missing 2 coins 1 statue and 1 or 2 photos but I am happy with that. Maybe someday I might get the bug to go back but for now it's game over for me !! - I also am not a STEAM member or fan so I am not getting the update through STEAM. That's ok though - I am looking forward to my next game, as soon as I find one.

Is this Halloween stuff only in the Steam version?

That's a good question, one which I do not have the answer to - maybe someone else will know.

I believe it is for all versions but probably requires a re-download form someplace other than Steam.

I will try to find my email.

Nope. Sorry, I was wrong about that. This is from the email:

Note: The Haunted Halloween update is currently only available for the Steam version of The Eyes of Ara. The DRM-Free and Mac App Store versions do not yet include this bonus content. Both these versions will be updated to include it for next year.

Thank you for the info, oldbroad.

thanks Oldbroad,
I DO have the Steam version, and now the Halloween "stuff" is on my game interface now that it's been updated automatically by Steam. Happy Gaming!
Sandy

Have fun Sandy!
