I really liked it, too! If you play it alone, when it's quiet in the house, it's even better!
The answer is....chocolate! Who cares what the question is.....

Mad, I can only agree with everyone else-- don't play this game at night, especially if you're alone in the house...

Hi I AM alone and I DO play at night but I usually keep a soft light on when I'm here in my little computer den. And after all your warnings, I now have a spare bulb for it right on the shelf above me - not two feet away EDIT : If I could maintain correct spellings, THAT would be helpful too

Hi I think the atmosphere in this game is fantastic. Very unsettling. Reminds me very much of how I felt in the first Phantasmagoria .... On edge most of the time !! LOVE it !! Cheers. Mad

Mad, Agustin (Nucleosys developer) has announced they are working on a new adventure and it will be point and click. They haven't told much about the game yet, just these tidbits:
* It will be a horror first-person adventure * It will take place in a single location, over the course of one night * There will be several characters to interact with, as well as many others appearing in various cutscenes * Your memories will play a very important role in this game
Agustin has promised to come forward with new information over the next few months, so we should hear from them soon!
I'll be back, one day, when I feel like it.

I liked Scratches too. Can't wait to see what they come up with. One location is okay as long as they have lots of areas to explore.

I'm interested to see what the Nucleosys folks come up with! If they've solved some of the irritation factors from Scratches, it should be stellar!

I realize this is an older thread but I don't want to start a new one since this one exists. I just finished "Scratches" about ten minutes ago and I'm STILL feeling a bit shaky. I even used a terrific walk-through for quite a bit of it and it was still a very spooky game. Not for the faint of heart. I really had to talk myself into finishing it.

Are you waiting for the Director's Cut? I played the original version. I won't be getting the DC as I could barely bring myself to finish the original. Such a chicken! I was in a big hurry to finish it during the daylight hours today. And after going out this evening, I just had to walk from my car back to my apartment all alone in the dark. I'll admit to a few peeks over my shoulder... Let us know how you like it, Butcher.

I like your signature Celtic! And welcome to Gameboomers! Have you played Dark Fall and The Last Half of Darkness yet? And of course Barrow Hill and Delaware... Edit: Just saw on the Nancy thread that you've played half of those anyway!

Thanks for the welcome, Nickie. I must admit, I nicked my sig off of a friend from a music forum. I quite like your sig as well! I've totally mucked up the Nancy thread. It's turned into my welcome thread! And here I am, posting unrelated stuff on the "Scratches" thread. I'm just bopping all over the place, wreaking havoc. Haven't heard of The Last Half of Darkness. I will have to check it out. Delaware is next on my list. Dark Fall series is my favorite so far. Can't wait for "The Lost Crown". Jonathan Boakes just amazes me.

Nickie - Thank you for your forgiveness. It is greatly appreciated. Butcher - If I can finish the game, anyone can. LOL Love to know your thoughts afterwards. Bouv - I know - I keep putting things aside that I really *should* be doing to play games. But since it was Memorial Day, I figured I could take a day to play.

If you do a search for Scratches here in Discussions - some time back there was a fantastic thread talking about the game and what was what, who was who, etc. etc. etc. - I think it ran about thirteen pages of dialogue and conferring among those of us who played it......see if you can find it and enjoy the read, BUT only if you have finished the game. Welcome all to this "spook house". Love, Betty Lou

Ooh, Betty Lou, that sounds fabulous. I was actually looking for something like that after playing the game. I'll have to do a more extensive search tonight. Cheers!
