sorry about the delay.

Clue 3: the next time you switch, its snowing, and your characater (the third one) is waiting for the enemy. A fight ensues.

Dreamfall?

Nobody else recognizes this? It's quite famous.

Posted just as Venus did. I think she's got it.

If it IS Dreamfall, that could explain my blank mind !!
I really disliked the game and so banished it from my consciousness as quickly as I uninstalled it from my machine

Well that would explain it Mad - it is indeed Dreamfall.
I loved it, so I guess it stayed with me.

I loved it too. Well, after the first hour or two of figuing out how to move around.

Sorry I'm late everyone. I haven't been able to sign on the forum all day.

Flotsam and Becky, I loved Dreamfall, too. Fantastic game.

Okay, clue 1: This game, like many other games, makes use of a plinth. This plinth may become brighter than most when mixed with a certain object.

I have no idea but there was a plinth in BS: Angel of Death??

No, but good guess, flotsam. There are so many games with plinths, I think it's a trend.

Clue 2: Maybe this cat can help me make the catch I need.

Mystery of the Druids ??

One of the dracula games?

No, no one has it yet.

Clue 3: I have to help my friend win this contest . . . and maybe help myself in the process.

Bone: The Great Cow Race?

No, sorry Becky.

Clue 4: I have a goat in my pocket. That's . . . unusual.

I remember one in my fedora, but not my pocket!
