yes, terrific news. These games are so much fun and I just love all the photographs. Thanks for all the work, Mikael.

Thanks Mikael. I love the series and am glad it's continuing.

Ooooh Goody.............

No "tending to" for me Krispi. I absoLUTEly keep an eye out for Mikael's next creations.

After playing so many games with deeply scary sound effects and visuals, I've decided I prefer the eerie spookiness that my own imagination conjures up when I'm skulking around alone in unpopulated environments as Carol Reed. Neither the music nor any special effects need to be 'spook-i-fied' to give me the chills there. Thank you Mikael & team!!!

Love Carol Reed! I am looking forward to a new game! Thanks Mikael! Always great to see you here!

I wasn't joking about withdrawal symptoms, I really start getting edgy if I haven't had my annual (virtual) visit to Sweden for a bit of mystery and adventure. Mikael, it's great news to hear you are planning something for us soon!

Love my virtual visits, too Krispi. In the months between new Carol Reed releases, I've gotten my game-withdrawal 'fixes' from watching international mystery shows on MHzTV from Scandanavia, as well as France & Italy. Lots of gorgeous scenery... (geographic as well as a few male characters! ).

Yes!! I know exactly what you mean!



You mean you don't find the image above 'deeply scary'?

Charming, rather!

Aw, c'mon Wincey... The beard's a bit wild, but otherwise... not scary.

Now... let us consider the brunet gardener in Norrköping Carol runs into on occasion...
...and on MHzTV, characters Gunvald Larsson and Varg Veum.

Bigge has much more character than any handsome brunette. What's more important -- traditional good looks, or a willingness to to keep the place looking clean?

I agree. Bigge, a man who cleans... & possibly cooks: In real life-- characteristics which make a man very attractive.

I do like the way Gunvald & Varg look, but it's the way their characters are written that I find to be most attractive (the good looks are merely 'icing on the cake'). Were they written as despicable bad guys, they'd be not at all attractive.

Pretty things (men and women) are nice to look at, but are also distracting. As for Carol Reed, I'm glad that I get to 'be' her in the game (1st-person), and don't have to see her.

I'm quite enamoured to Stina, actually. She always helps me out when I'm stuck on a difficult problem, and that's the most important part of a woman. It's almost bizarre how she always knows what to do!

This remains my personal favourite!
