Murphy, Check your PM. The game was released in 2012 according to archived pages at the web archive of neeblagames.com ***here***There is more information about the game in the developer's postmortem -- what went right, what went wrong, also on the archive of the neeblagames.com website ***here***

Murphy, BEWARE of sites that offer "FREE" game downloads. You will get some "free" stuff that you don't want, and it won't be a "game", and it may not be "free". I've been there, done that. Always look for a legitimate game site, such as GOG, Steam, Humble Bundle, Gamersgate, Zodiac, etc. HAPPY GAMING! Sandy

This is a much older game that I played and enjoyed quite a while ago. I later tried one of those "Free" sites to replay it. It took three days and some rather inventive profanity to clear all the crud out of my computer. Sadly, I don't remember which site it was.
If all the people were heroes, there would be no one to watch the parades.

Hi
I played The Five Cores in 2014, made a walkthrough for it to and I have still got it.....I could be wrong but I was never aware that this game was then a FREEWARE game. So if any sites offers it as a freeware game I would be very carefull to download it from those sites.

FYI, as per GameBoomers rules, we do not support any "free" or "abandonware" website downloads on a game that was not a free game to begin with without some documentation that the developer approves it.

Maybe it would be best to delete my post of the download sites I found on Google then, BrownEyedTigre ?? Even though I DID clearly say I couldn't vouch for any of them, I would hate for anyone to suffer if they did decide to visit any

Anyone can do a Google search, Mad. There's no need to remove the link. I wasn't able to find any legitimate seller for The Five Cores using Google though. If anyone does know of one, please post. I bought the game direct from the developer's website at neeblagames back when it was active, but that website is gone now. There is more information about the game in the developer's postmortem -- what went right, what went wrong, also on the archive of the neeblagames.com website ***here*** Going by what he posted there, the developer was having trouble solving some peoples' issues playing the game, so he may have stopped selling it because of the support issues.

Tally Ho, the company is closed and the developer is working on art for movies like Despicable Me. He has deleted all his access and emails from Kickstarter and such but he is on FaceBook. I sent him a message but not really expecting an answer. I do not believe he wishes to be contacted.

I DO have "The Five Cores". it was a downloaded version, but I'm not sure where I purchased it. could have been through Amazon, or Gamersgate at the time. If I remember, I will let you know. BTW: I loved the game and I had a good Text WT to help me along. Sandy
Only sites I just found are PHONY and NOT legitimate. BEWARE!

Five Cores was released around the same time as a game called Kairo, which was also a 3D game. People generally thought Kairo had better puzzles, even though its graphics looked less "pretty" than The Five Cores. Of course neither game looked as good as a pre-rendered game from 15 years earlier, like Riven. Kairo is still available at places like Fireflower. http://fireflowergames.com/shop/kairo/

mrbill, Jenny? Are you referring to her post on Kairo or my post on Five Cores? If the latter, the download is 461 MB. THe instructions are below the download link: Know issues:
Black screen : Disable windows UAC (user account control) and composting.
No sound : Open control panel > Sound > Properties > Advanced > Check "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
Graphic glitch in-game : Open explorer > Program Files > Neebla Games >The Five Cores > Binaries > Win32 > Create a shortcut for T5C.exe and add the parameter -dx11 in the shortcut properties. Ana

No worries mrbill! I thought maybe it had something to do with Kairo perhaps. Have a happy day!

If reading Dutch isn't a problem for you, or using google translate, then you can find a very detailed walkthrough for the games The Five Cores and Roonshehv Netarra on my site at www.pcgameswalkthroughs.nl I made the Five Cores walkthrough in 2014 and Dick did the Roonsehv walkthrough in 2015 I saw a question here about how to save your game in The Five Cores, but I can't find that question anymore. But you can save your game by pressing your Escape key and then click on Save. There are only 3 save slots in witch you can save your game. So if you save more then 3 times, you'll have to overwrite your previous save slot. The game runs on the Unreal Engine I've played the Five Cores in 2014, 2015 and 2016, all 3 times with Windows 8.1 (updated)and I had no troubles with it. I've payed the price for it, so I'm wandering...can I get my money back, now the game is freeware? Happy Gaming Marinus_Louis

Hi Sandford
I was only joking about a refound for my purchase of The Five Cores, but I think you'll knew this. I got an e-mail from Dick Leeuw, the writer of the Dutch Roonsehv walkthrough that's on my site. Dick told me that he's going to do an English translation of the Roonsehv walkthrough. When it is ready you sure will find it on my site.
I'm almost ready with the new Dutch and English walkthrough for Lighthouse The Dark Being, and then I go on with the Alternative Lighthouse walkthrough. It's a real treat to be able to play some of those old Sierra games again
Happy gaming
