Well I have entered the area of The Shades. AGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!

I had forgotten JUST how frustrating this part of the game is.
So if I make it out alive I will be holding on to the appropriate save, that's for sure scared

I remember getting help from MaG on the Shades and still had trouble!

I have little doubt I, too, will need help, oldbroad. So MaG's walkthrough might be getting a good thumbing through - metaphorically speaking laugh

Phew !!
Utilising bits of MaG's walkthrough, as and when I became desperate, I have spent hours today making my way through the shades and have finally got as far as being outside the door of the exit room - only to find myself BADLY STUCK at this eleventh hour !! rolleyes

[ Can't get the light to be turned on in the final room so I can enter it cry]

Absolutely NOT able to try any more today - but hopefully, in my next break from accounts, I might solve the problem whistle

I couldn't make sense of ANY walk through, oldbroad. Not even MaG's blush

So in the end I just had to keep experimenting (dying more times than I'm willing to acknowledge !!) until ONE of my experiments actually succeeded lol

Despite the horrible "shades" area I'm still expecting I will change my order of preference of "The Black Mirror" games to 3 first, 1 second and 2 third - because that order definitely reflects the enjoyment pecking order - for me yes

Well, the first is still my favorite for sure, but glad you enjoyed the third game so much this time, Mad. They're all great games. smile Congratulations on getting past the shades portion after it gave you such trouble. thumbsup

I'm replaying Moebius now and am really enjoying it. I really don't understand the harsh criticisms, as I think this is a terrific game. I'm enjoying even more this time around. Sure, Malachi moves oddly, but that's a very minor issue for me. lol It's a shame there probably won't be a sequel.

Finished The Black Mirror 3 !! thumbsup

[And it wasn't as difficult an ending to fathom as I'd expected - which was a bonus.]
I thoroughly enjoyed this game and will certainly re-play it yet again at some time yay

I'm thinking I might attempt my Win7 version of Amber Journey's Beyond next as I didn't do very well with it when I first played the original version years ago blush

Hope you enjoy Moebius when you get to it as well, Mad. I played some more today, and I'm still enjoying it very much. I think it's moving up on my "list of favorites." woot

Glad you enjoyed Black Mirror 3 all the way through. Did you keep a saved game after the shades section for your next replay? grin Enjoy Amber Journey's Beyond if you play it. smile

Congrats on finishing the game Mad and glad you had fun. I can't wait to finish as I am getting rather sick and tired of wandering around not knowing what to do. Keep falling asleep at my computer. I should not have played all 3 games in a row.

Let us know what you decide to play next.

Is this in BM3 that you are falling asleep at your computer, oldbroad ??

I could understand that might have happened in BM2 but rather surprised to hear it's happening for you if it's in BM3 shocked

Not what you want at ALL sad

[ And yes, I'll come back and tell you what I decide to re-play next wink ]

Great that you'll always have that saved game, Mad. thumbsup Whenever I make it through a difficult action sequence, I always keep at least 3 saved games. lol I kept some after the spider sequence in Still Life and sneaking past the man and dog in Sherlock Holmes and the Secret of the Silver Earring. grin I definitely kept some after all three annoying arcade sequences in Next Life! It was a very fun game otherwise, but those sequences were terrible. crazy lol

Enjoy your next replay, whatever you choose!

Yes Mad, in BM3. Wandering around for a long period of time not knowing what to do gets boring, but also it has to do with the music and background sounds lulling me to sleep.

It's not that exactly, but I really should have taken time in between the games. I would have enjoyed them more then I believe.

I've opted to play The Birdwatcher and re-play Amber Journeys Beyond.

[The latter tweaked for modern machines.]

So I should definitely be enjoying myself for quite some time dance

Well, enjoy those games Mad. The Birdwatcher is a beautiful game. I haven't played Amber Journeys Beyond (yet).

Still working on BM3, slowly making progress. yes

Mad, I finally finished the game. I had to use the walkthrough a few times near the end. I tried for 3 hours to get the shade/labyrinth puzzle myself but then spent 1 hour on it using the walkthrough. I needed it for the hieroglyphics/canister puzzle also. I enlarged the photo of the skeleton but then ended up skipping the puzzle as I just could not get it. I very strongly dislike skipping puzzles! The story got too confusing for me at the end with shades and souls and soul shades etc. I did not understand it any better this time than I did the first time I played it.

That said, I really did enjoy replaying the games though even though that doesn't sound like I did. yes

I think I will try to find something lighter to play now, like Machinarium maybe.

Congratulations on making it through the series, oldbroad. thumbsup

Mad, how are your two games going?

Right now, I'm replaying The Moment of Silence, which is such a fantastic game. praise A lot of the themes in it seem more relevant now than they did when it came out in 2004, which makes me appreciate it even more than I did in my original play-through. It is strange to see so many CDs laying around when the game is supposed to take place in 2044, though. lol

oldbroad ..

So glad to hear you did enjoy re-playing the series, despite everything !! thumbsup

venus ..

I'm thoroughly enjoying myself - yet again smile

Really like The Birdwatcher. But then I have liked ALL Mikael's games yes

Unfortunately, I've not got very far with Amber Journeys Beyond yet, though, due to lack of playing time at the moment. But it IS nice visiting that house again eek
