I am starting a new thread (part six) of What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now? so that we can continue our discussion, as the previous thread was getting quite long.

For those wishing to read the previous thread which was part five, it can be found here. wave

I just finished MCF: Moths to a Flame. The gameplay was fine; the story? I know what it was about but sure didn't understand the outcome. Oh well. On to the next game. Not sure yet what that will be. smile

I haven't played Moths to a Flame yet. I'm pretty sure the story would confuse me too.

Currently starting level 41 of 60 in Undercover: Blood Bonds.

I started Fiction Fixers: The Curse of Oz tonight and I think my next Match 3 will be Legend of Egypt - Pharaoh's Garden.

I have not played either of those games. Let us know how it goes.

I finished Undercover: Blood Bonds yesterday. This morning I am getting ready to play Magic City Detective: Wrath of the Ocean CE.

Still playing Legend of Egypt - Pharaoh's Garden. It has three levels of play - easy, medium, and hard but it does not tell you about them (that I saw anyway) so I am playing on medium difficulty. It is not timed but timing plays a factor in how many stars you get per level. Three stars gets you a little bonus. I usually would go for all three but am settling for two on some levels so far. I think I have played 20, or maybe 30. I can't remember.

I finished Fiction Fixers: The curse of Oz, which I played in Win 7. It's a decent game with a lot of HO scenes and puzzles. I managed all the puzzles so I'll say they are not too hard. lol I had to get used to the voices though because I wanted them to sound like the movie voices but they don't.

I think I'm going to play Living Legends: The Red Trace next.

Thank you for your description and thoughts on both games, ob. Very helpful. yes

The Red Trace is on my pretty-soon-to-play list also.

I just finished Surface: The Noise She Couldn't Make CE. I bought this game 12 years ago, played the first two chapters, and then discarded it. I think life intervened to the point where I did really have time for gaming. Good to finally play through the entire game and also finish the bonus game.

Not sure what is up next. I had a glitch with Wrath of the Ocean and did not feel like starting over, although I plan to restart it as I liked the game. I was about 35 minutes into it when I exited out of an unfinished puzzle that had appeared while zoomed in, and then I quit the game for the night. When I came back, the puzzle was no longer there and otherwise there was nothing else to do. The hint button would make a sound when I pressed it but otherwise was nonfunctional. Note to self: next time, don't exit the zoomed-in puzzle until it is done (or I've used the skip button).

I have some of those Surface games downloaded on my Win 7 if I ever get to them.

I always worry about exiting out of a puzzle or HO scene without finishing it as I have had problems doing that in the past also. I did it last night though in The Red Trace, which I finally started. So far, so good except I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for morphing objects and by the time I figured it out, I missed one. The game actually put me back into the scene it was in, but would not let me pick it up then, as it wanted me to continue to the next scene and that is all it would let me do. Kind of irked me even though I don't usually care about the morphing objects.

Enjoy whatever you decide on next and come back to let us know please! smile

I finished Living Legends: The Red Trace tonight. It was pretty good, pretty easy, nothing new in the puzzle category. I was distracted through most of the game by the voice of the main character, Roland. I think he sounded like Jonathan Harker but the credits did not say who voiced him. Missed one flower collectible (not sure what that kept me from doing) and one morphing object. I know the morphing object was from the very first scene as mentioned in my prior post; not sure about the flower.

Don't know yet what's next.

Oh, I did basically finish Legend of Egypt: Pharoah's Garden also but still playing to try to get all the "upgrades".

I think I will enjoy Red Trace based upon what you have said.

I just finished Criminal Archives: Alphabetic Murders. I enjoyed it overall. It was pretty much like all the other Do Games I have played but since in general I like them, this was by no means a bad thing.

It's great to see you here, Leeana! No need to feel badly; I know you have been through a lot and it's just good to have you here when you are up to posting.

I liked Spirit of Revenge: Elizabeth's Secret. From the same developer, I also recommend Secrets of Great Queens: Old Tower. Really enjoyable, and it takes place close to the same time period as Elizabeth's Secret.

I started House of 1000 Doors: Evil Inside, tonight in Windows 7. Other than it playing only in a window for some reason, I am enjoying it. I skimmed the reviews and didn't see any other mention of the window mode duh ? Oh well, it's keeping me more focused on the game I think.

That's strange about it only running in a window. I don't recall anyone ever mentioning an issue like that with that game. Did you try hitting Alt + Enter?

I started Ms. Holmes: The Milverton Plot yesterday.
