Here is a game you may like to play: Memories of a Snake.


And you can read what Adventure Gamers says about it:



Memories of a Snake


Memories of a Snake, by Marion, is a full-length fan game that tells the story of the well-known Harry Potter character Salazar Slytherin from his birth almost to his death. The game shows how and why Hogwarts was built, and what happened to Salazar after that. We learn why he hates Muggles, and how his early youth made him the man he was when Hogwarts was built. Players will help him build the Chamber of Secrets, breed a Basilisk, and much later you will find him back in the rebuilt castle of his parents.

Memories of a Snake is presented in third-person format using backgrounds lifted from Sierra's King's Quest and Quest for Glory series, and they do indeed look very much like the mid-nineties Sierra games. They also do their job very well: the castle where Salazar grows up is dark and gloomy; the neighboring Muggle town is also a bit dark because its inhabitants are afraid of the wizard in the castle, but Hogsmeade is a cheerful town painted in bright colors. In many screens you see people or animals walking around, going about their business, with water flowing and birds flying or sitting on branches, all of which give the game a lively feel. The music, offering a wide variety of tunes, fits the situations you encounter very well. The other sounds are also well done, including the likes of a crackling fire and the footsteps of people walking or voices talking in the background. There is almost no voice acting other than when people talk to snakes. All dialogue is shown as text on the screen, with a different color for each character.

The game uses a simple two-button mouse interface with the inventory at the bottom of the screen. Right-clicking on an object tells you something about it; left-clicking lets Salazar interact with the object. The game contains a mix of fetching, inventory, spellcasting and conversation puzzles. Most of the puzzles are not hard but they all fit neatly into the story. The game was originally made in French, leading to the occasional translation issue, but this is never really a problem. What is a problem is that the game contains a nasty bug: after Salazar rebuilds his castle he can’t travel to either Hogwarts or Hogsmeade anymore because the game either crashes (Hogwarts) or prevents Salazar from returning to his castle afterwards (Hogsmeade). Fortunately, if you keep that in mind the game is perfectly playable to the end. Here and there Memories of a Snake is a bit slow, but it's definitely worth playing if you are a Harry Potter fan.



Here is another game you may like from Marion: Harry PotterRPG.


Thanks to Jenny100 for this link to the game. bravo


Have fun.
