Thanks Ana wave
Fantastic game. Tried a little of the demo, was really happy with it, so out came the CC again wink
It's an IHog with a msytery story. The mini games are not hard, but the Interactive part is good, and it makes fun playing yay

I just read on the BFG forums that the game has 40 chapters (posted in case anyone is wondering how long the game is).

I really like it so far. smile

I like it but I don't think it's easy. I'm almost done with my demo and still have NO POINTS! I use too many hints and click too much I guess. I'm still enjoying the game despite my lack of points. Some of the items are very small and hard to find for me anyway.


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

NYLady, be sure to use the magnifier/zoom feature towards the bottom right-hand side of the screen; I find that helps considerably with the tiny items.

I am enjoying this game. The story and setting is refreshingly different to other games.

for the life of me I can't find that last key in the beginning of the game, in the cell. The magnifer really doesn't magnify that much in my opinion. Since we have to find 10 keys does anyone remember where the hardest key was located? Also I am playing in untimed mode but when I click on the red button, nothing seems to happen. Does the hints only work in the timed mode? I really want to buy the game, but I want to make sure I can play it first. If I can't get off the first screen this is not a good sign for me.

This sounds so much like something that might happen with the April from The Longest Journey.

I cannot remember where all the keys are but the hints do work in untimed mode.

They take a while to come up though- you have to wait a few seconds and you get a purplish rings around the object.

I think they also cost points and not entirley sure but need to refresh?

Well, I just bought the game. This has been a good week for games at Big Fish. Now I have to hope that we go into a slump next week and that Big Fish releases no games that interest me (oh, my poor credit card!). eek grin

Just finished this game, and it's quite long yes smile
I enjoyed it very much - nice story although a bit depressing.

Just an FYI about the game, the placement of items is random. There can can 3 or 4 different layouts for the same screen. For example, in Chapter 1 where you have to find all the keys, I saw about 4 or 5 layouts. The medicine bottle had about 3 different locations depending on your game.

Keep that in mind when playing the game over.Very few items stay in the same place.

Have Fun! Margie

Thanks Bella for info on hints. I just purchased the game and now will do a restart. Thanks to Margie, I found out the items can be in different layouts after a new game. I miss the voice overs WOW this would have been a great game for that. Ah well can't have everything sometimes.

Hi Margie,
I am at the beginning of chapter 25. I went up some stairs and it says I hear someone. I automatically draw my gun to shoot, and there is a guy in the doorway. I can't figure out where on his body I am supposed to shoot. The timer keeps running out.

Hi Kate, Try this....

Click to reveal..
Did you click on the gun from inventory and then click on the man? As soon as the scene opens, select the gun, shoot at the man and then click on him again so you can talk to him.
Then place the sphere that appears in inventory in his hand. He will not take the sphere unless you put it in his hand.
Let me know if you need any help beyond this.

Hey MysteryFantic, what chapter are you in? It will be easier for me to give you an answer if I have that info.

Thanks, Margie

Thanks for your help, much appreciated as always. I haven't even opened the game yet I'm afraid.
