Never say never Marian... We all hope to see a lot of such nice games in the future...

Hi ,Ana

Thanks I forgot the spoiler

I have the game Blackstone...But tried in vain to get it to run on my computer..No luck ...So yes you are right I have never played it.. <sigh>

Darleen, I had the same reaction and the only other time I had that was in Syberia 2. It takes an artist to get a reaction that that.

Just started the game tonight - like the feeling of the black and white.
Not scared yet - but hay, I have 2 cats to console me if that happens. and a dog to take me for a walk

Hey Boomers i still playing but so far i love the graphics black and white , atmosphere and story...

Love Maria

I don't suppose the Ager house is based on a real place -- maybe one that burned down and was reconstructed from old photos.

Just finished the game. I felt this same way when The Longest Journey was over...a real sense of loss.

Thank you Jonathan for one of the best games I've ever played. I was so "creeped out" at one point that I had to stop playing until the sun came up the next day. You really are a master at creating a mood.

Intuitive puzzle solving...perfection!

Oooh.. Jeanne, sounds fantastic!

I managed to escape housesitting today and went home to play the game for about three hours. I'm finally getting to parts where I feel some aprehension. I just...



It's driving me batty that it's taking me so long to finish this game due to not being at home this week. But tomorrow I go home for good and I'm turning off my phone, fortifying myself with snackies, and holing myself up in front of my computer.

Hmmm... no more notes from that tea-drinking guy...

Well, I scare easily, but I felt a frisson at the opening screen. It's that song, and the weird symbols, and the crows. And very early on, at the caves on the beach with the strange groans issuing forth -- none of you that that was scary?

I think the tea-drinking guy is behind more of what's going on in the Saxton than would immediately meet the eye. I suspect that he's a catalyst of sorts, or perhaps some sort of focus point. I hope the Village Council is monitoring the situation.

Each time i run this game i am decided to move on and not to be scared again but from the first second i'm in the menu screen i'm back at the beginning... You are right Becky this song is really something

The worst moment for me was wandering around the crypt passages and being greeted by something not entirely, uh, friendly. I just about leapt out of my chair into a heap on the carpet. Mr Boakes, I'm sending you my dry cleaning bill!

Okay, okay, I retract a bit of what I said. I've felt a bit nervous during certain parts like exploring the cottage and the caverns but until now, I haven't felt like I need to take a break from the game because it's creeping me out too much. I was like that while playing "The Journal". I turned that game off for six months because it was making me so jumpy. That basement was terrifying. But eventually I went back and finished it. So that's kind of my yardstick for determining how scary a game is.

Of course, I was a fairly new gamer when I picked up "The Journal" and maybe a little more susceptible than I am now. Now I'm a hard-nosed adventurer!

And also, most of the exploring I've done so far in TLC has been in daylight. From several comments that Nigel has made recently, I'm predicting that a midnight trip to the museum and church are in my future...
