Hi, Marian!

I Googled "PuppetShow" and discovered that the 6th installment (titled "Steam Heart", unless that changes) was sent out to some BFG members for beta testing the last week of May (3 testers posted YouTube videos), so it should probably be released shortly.

I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying Fright Collector's Edition. It has all my favourite elements, including live actors, very few HOGS and interesting puzzles - all in all the best game I've played in a long time.

wave Me too, Jill. I have enjoyed the game very much. Picked up the game this weekend with Bigfish having all their great sales. It's a great game. I'm playing the bonus chapter now. Will definitely play again.

I purchased mine on the 4th so I am assuming I got the updated version.

Now I can't get back in it. Goes to my save then drops to the desktop. Freezes up.

I was really enjoying this game till I got stuck - been stuck since yesterday - It must be something I am doing wrong. The Strategy Guide says "Return to second floor of the house and then walk left. Place the jack under the bookcase and turn the crank".

When I go up the stair to the second floor, there is no option to turn left. I can place the cursor on Mrs Henderson's door on the left and the game says "Now I just need some way of getting this letter to Mrs. Henderson." So I am very confused because I thought I had made the letter into a paper plane and thrown it at Mrs Henderson's window?? Meanwhile I can't progress further into the game.

I remember that this happened to me, too, the exact same situation that you are describing. Unfortunately, now I can't remember what I did that got the game moving again. slapforehead

I will think about it, and maybe someone else will come along who has a better memory than I do.

It's good that you got the game now rather than when it was released; at the time, everyone had a problem with the voice-overs disappearing, but now with the new build that problem has been resolved. I hope you enjoy it. wave

Sorted Marian - Someone told me to look at the Hint Guide - Said I did not have it as an option - so changed the difficulty to Easy and the Hints appeared. It said I had to summon Mrs Henderson from the cornfield. Now I know full well that I have already summoned her, but I did it again and this allowed me to enter the bedroom on the second floor, and proceed with the game. A couple of other weird things have happened while playing this game. Onwards and upwards .......

I am very glad to hear that - now that you have told me about this, I remember wandering around and ending up summoning Mrs. Henderson from the cornfield.

I guess the game is still a bit glitchy, but there was nothing that made it so that I couldn't play through the main game as well as the bonus chapter. wave

I agree with you, Susie. That sounds like a pretty short time for a CE version!

Hi, Reenie!

Some games are longer than others, but I felt that 3 hours for the main game was just way too short. It really is a shame because, otherwise, it was an excellent game.

I'd wait for a half-price sale and then pick it up. smile

Hi, Marian!

LOL! Paying half price for half a game definitely makes sense lol ! Some games seem to go on forever because, just when you think they're over, other locations are revealed. This one was just the opposite.

That's all very true. And I would still rather play a shorter game that holds my interest throughout than a longer one where I start to get bored. smile
