Thanks, Ana. It's always nice to see another installment in the Echoes of the Past series. The developer is Orneon. Other games of theirs include the Secrets of the Dark series and The Agency of Anomalies series. wave

Thanks Ana, thanks Marian, I enjoyed the other Echoes of the Past and I'm enjoying this one. Good music, story, HO's, graphics and puzzles. Didn't take long in the demo to decide to buy it. rah

This game has a really good feel to me - and I love the music - so it's a winner for me too.

Help! Have been playing and enjoying this game. However, I need one more blue crystal. The map no longer shows me active locations, and the hint button keeps telling me to go elsewhere. At one point, I had a glass cutter (which I seem to need now, but don't have). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Laurette we will have to wait for someone who has the game since the strategy guide is included And the walk through is not up yet. Have you checked the guide?

Yes, I've checked the guide. It did show me where the glass cutter was originally (which I believe I got, but don't have any longer). I tried scimming through the guide again to see what I missed, but it didn't help.

Thank you for your time.

Laurette, I don't know the answer to your question, but I am going to post the following info in reference to the glass cutter just in case it is useful for someone. This info was posted on the BF forum by the writer of the strategy guide for the game. There are apparently two glass cutters in the game. The guide writer says this:

Quote:
I know which second glass cutter you mean (I wrote the strategy guide). However, if you still have the glass cutter you find in the shed with the little girl in your inventory at the time you play the mini game in the office at the bottom of the stairs, the game will confuse the two glass cutters and the glass cutter from the shed will disappear. Believe me. I just tried it.


Hopefully this glitch will be fixed with an update. wave

I just saw on BF this is a glitch in the game. Please contact them and let them know so you can get a new build as soon as it's available.

EDIT: Hi Marian. lol

Hi, Ana!

I picked this up during BFG's "Buy One Get One Free" sale last weekend, and the main game took me 7-1/2 hours to complete. Some of the puzzles were really long (at least for me), but it is definitely well worth buying. I'm about 70 minutes into the bonus game, and I don't think I'm halfway through it yet.

That's really good to know, Susan - and I'm happy to hear that you didn't run into that glitch. Apparently the glitch occurs depending on the order in which you do things.

I'm looking forward to playing the game at some point. wave

Hi, Marian!

I've played every game in the series and I definitely wasn't disappointed with this one, especially the length.

I replayed the game, using a new profile. Once I got the glass cutter, I immediately used it on the blue crystal, and am progressing. This situation should be mentioned in the SG. Anyway, am glad my problem has been resolved, and hope this will help anybody else stuck at this point.

Thank you for your help.

Laurette, one does not write strategy guide to tell you how to prevent a glitch from happening. If the glitch was known it would have been corrected.

Since we all play in different orders not all glitches are discovered until hundreds are playing.
