Hi Susan, it could have been made more clear as to whether any CE released between now and when the sale ends is eligible, but a mod on the BF forum has confirmed that it will be. Trouble is, that would have meant holding off on buying the new MCF for a few days, and I don't have that kind of intestinal fortitude. lol The other CE that is supposed to be released before the sale ends is The Beast of Lycan Isle (developer is Silverback, who also brought us the Empress of the Deep games and Theater of the Absurd); we will see if it shows up. smile

Ana, I go into each MCF game thinking of it as a new experience rather than comparing it to others in the series; I agree with you that the developers try to offer something a bit different with each new release. It has certainly worked for me. wave

Hi, Marian!

I just finished the demo and enjoyed it; however, if "The Beast of Lycan Isle" is from the same developer as the "Empress of the Deep" series, I think I'll muster up all of my willpower and wait to see if it's released before Sunday. If not, there are two other CEs that I've been holding off buying, so I can pick them up.

That sounds like a very good plan, Susan. thumbsup

The sale will be good through November 25th, so if Lycan Isle is released on Sunday, you will be able to use the MCF code on it that day. smile

I am getting deeper into the game and I am liking it very much! A couple of scary moments there! No, it is not like the original MCF games but I have changed my mind about this one. It's delightfully different and interesting. Hey! Doesn't Cassandra look a lot like actress Lea Thompson? And the man who shot the convict ( the Warden?) looks like Jack Nicholson.

I think this game is wonderful. I am so enjoying it. I also approached it as something new with no expectations of it being like anything else and I like what they have done. I think it's creative, different and I am loving it. Ana I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

Hey smitty145 let me know when you come up for air, what you think. LOL

Lea Thompson's daughter is there also - there's a great long list of characters/actors in the CREDITS tab in the EXTRAS - I think she's the one at the beginning scene in back of the Ghost Busters van (with the lip gloss)

Another section in EXTRAS is almost better than the game - it's called MAKING OF - the characters are introduced and talk about the making of the game

I have to agree with you! I love the game and think it's a wonderful and fun change. Unfortunately, there were other things that had to be handled at home so this had to be put to the side for a bit. I'm looking forward to more game play tomorrow. I'm finding this really interesting.

My only disappointment in the game is that I'm having an issue with the sound not working. This is a problem with another MCF now too. All other games work fine with sound, etc. The BF Techs are working on it with me and I'm hopeful they will find the problem with mine. It's not an issue for others.
Rickey and Allison are two great Reps at BFG CS. smile

As said here before, we expect the same type of gameplay all the time. I happen to feel this is a great change for the better!

ENJOY! thumbsup thanksgiving

Marlene, it's totally understandable - you were just excited to play the game. I didn't read the game description either but rather went straight to the buy button. laugh

Smitty, I hope BF can sort out your sound problem! wave

Having enjoyed all of the previous MCF games which I thought got better & better (the 13th Skull my favourite) I just went ahead & bought this.

I've been playing for at least a couple of hours now but with so many games to choose from I just wouldn't have if I'd tried the demo 1st!

I'm not unenjoying the game by any means & all kudos to BFG for trying something different but for me it's sooo slow moving! I'm not crazy about the way the HO finding is done & I really dislike the medium's reading puzzles (always a mistake to keep repeating puzzles in a game I think!) Also I find the character of the medium so irritating!

The story is interesting enough but the game just doesn't flow for me so far & seems too fragmented?

I see from comments that players either love it or hate it so would recommend you please try before you buy!!!

I decided to give the trial version a try, to see if it was worth the $19.99 I'd have to pay for the full version.

The only reason I would buy the game would be to find out what's going on in the town. What the horn is, and why it has such an affect on people.

For the hour I got to play the game, the only acting that was worth writing home about was the ghost hunter group. The medium's performance is way to cheesy for my taste.

While I do play HOs I'm not fond of the type in this, or any other, game. It's harder for me to pick out things from photo type images than those with actual 3D models.

What puzzles I did encounter in that hour were OK, I guess. The one needing to be solved in order to see the medium was just a matter of finding the correct information. Getting into the records room was just trial and error, and observing.

As to the graphics I saw within that hour, eh, I've seen better. But they aren't intolerable.

As to what's going on, that would, as I said, be the reason I'd buy the game. But since other things have to be taken care of first, it may be some time before I do buy the game.


If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.

I'm stuck too. I'm doing the HO for the school room and can't' find the" heart". When I ask for a hint it says I should find the objects Cassandra wants. The SG is not helping, I don't see a heart highlighted anywhere.

Rosaboobie you need to place the drawings over their corresponding scenes. Yes, it highlights when you click it in the right place. Hope this helps
