Thanks FLO NS for the info on the differences in the play modes. I too had played the demo on another site and remembered having to find all the objects before you could move on. Relaxed mode and only having to find some of the items did make it seem like all cut scenes and no game play. Will buy now.

Part of me wasn't thrilled with the game - all the talking during my demo time. But the rest of me felt compelled to keep playing

So I did purchase this as my 6th game for the month!

I think it does a great job of continuing the story started in 3 Cards to Midnight. It has just the right amount of difficulty in figuring out what objects I am supposed to click on.

Question for those who didn't like the time spent on conversations/dialogue. This is a pretty big file game for a HOG. Would you say that the dialogue is the reason for the file size? Graphics? Or is there a lot more gameplay than in the average HOG?

One of the reasons I was disappointed in "Dire Grove" was because it seemed to me that the graphics (specifically the inclusion of the video tapes) added more to the size of the game than the actual gameplay. I felt that "Return to Ravenhearst" was much more worth the time. I'm wondering if this will be the case with "3 Cards".
