Congratulations to you, RebKean! I really admire your having taken on this project and seen it through to its completion. I enjoyed the demo and know that I will enjoy the full game.

Much good luck to all who enter this giveaway.

The game looks interesting.

I am in the contest.

Robert

Thank you so much Marian! I knew from the start that I really wanted to see it through. However, without Mikael, that would never have happened. I owe him.
And also thanks to Ana of course. I'm a bit nervous, so if I sound strange at any time, that's the reason ...

Congratulations Kim, I have made my purchase and await my download Link. Thank you and good luck with this and all future games.

Congrats Kim, and please enter me in the giveaway.

Thank you for the announcement, BrownEyedTigre!
Congratulations, RebKean! Installed the game
and ready to play!

Don't want to spam the thread with comments on every comment. You will probably get tired of me that way.
But I read everything, and I am very grateful for all kind words.

And remember to check your spam-folder if you think it's taking too long for me to send you a reply. Apart from me sleeping, I'm always close to a computer, so it shouldn't take long. When do I sleep then, you wonder? You'll need a time zone map for that, but as I learned from speaking with Ana, I'm 7 hours ahead of Chicago.

Please enter me in the game giveaway. Looks like a good one to try for sure. Really like this style game. thank you....linda333

Congrats. RebKean !! Wonderful that you have created and released your own game

I have bought it so won't be entering the draw - but thanks for the chance, BrownEyedTigre and Frostlind Games

LOVE the game! It's got an interesting storyline, great background music, interesting environments, tons of save slots, a built-in walkthrough, and an easy to use interface.
Not sure what more you could ask for in an adventure game!
Oh, and without giving anything away...keep your eyes out for some interesting "Easter Eggs"...
Ok, gameboomers and boomerettes...go and purchase this now...we want RebKean (aka Frostlind Games) to create MORE GAMES!

I AM IN! I love every single Carol Reed game and am looking forward to this one. Thanks for the drawing!

Yeah !!

Motiko: I think Profound Red was released in January, so 7 months. Seems like a good deal, but you never know what happens. Sometimes it's necessary to wait for the right season to take pictures you need.

Mad: Right? Hehe.

Going to go buy this as I just won a game an will let others have a chance with this one.. looks great!! Good job RebKean!

I won't be entering the draw either as I just won the last draw. Good luck to those who enter. Congrats RebKean. I'm on my way to purchase the game now.

i'm in also Ana. Wish me luck. Happy Gaming!
Sandy

I just made my purchase, Kim. I loved the demo.
Thanks very much for developing this really cool game, and Good Luck with it.
Sandy

I want to say again like I did in the demo-thread, that there will we a warning coming up when you download, until a certain number of people have done just that. I don't know the number, but the warning is there to let you know that this file has not been downloaded that much. So, it's not a warning about a virus, it's just a precaution of some kind. I know it looks bad, but I assure you that it's fine. What you can do, to make you feel better, is to download it, and then search it with your anti-virus program. And then it will tell you not to worry.

And, if anyone has not gotten an email after buying (after 9-12 hours), please check so it's not in your spam folder. I don't know why that happens, but it sometimes does.

Please count me in!

THe winners are safc, rmelone and mabeco! Please post here and then RebKean will get the game to you. If you do not post here to claim your prize within 72 hours a runner up will be named.

Please be patient for the download link after you claim your prize. We have different time zones to take into consideration.

Thanks so much to RebKean/Frostlind Games for their generosity!

Ana

Wow, Congrats Winners!

RebKean, Ill be purchasing tomorrow.

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to all responsible for the giveaway.

Congratulations to the winners from me as well, this was fun. Thanks Ana for taking care of it.
I haven't done this before obviously, but when the winners post here, I will then send a download link to the address that they have on their profile page. So make sure it's accurate.

oldbroad, I'll see you later today then.

Congrats to the winners. Thanks RebKean and Ana.

Congratulations to the winners!
My bet is you're going to love the game!

Hurrah you lucky winners !! This is a very nice game

And a big thank you to RebKean/Frostlind Games and BrownEyedTigre

Congratulations to all winners !(and Kim better makes sure she all ready thinking about the next game)

I am, Motiko.

I just love the carol reed games. If this is anything like it, Im sure its going to be awesome....

Bought, downloaded, and burned to disc (if I did it right )and installed! Not yet playing though.

This is rmelone posting - I think I will really enjoy this game.

Thanks to all.

Сongratulations to the winners!!!

OK, emails sent to mabeco and rmelone.

Hi Ana

Wow I won, congrats to the other winners

Many Thanks to Ana and Rebkean for organising the give away, really looking forward to playing the game

Many Thanks
SAFC

Excellent! Looks like all the winners came forward! WooHoo! Please remember to give Kim feedback on her game after you play. She'd love to hear from you!

Ana

Email sent to safc as well.

Correct Ana, I'm very curious about what you all think. Not just what's good, bad also what's bad. I know that some will like things that others don't, so it's not possible to please everyone, but by reading about what players likes/dislikes, I can get a baseline if you will, and go from there. So all thoughts matters, and I'm not just saying that.

Well I'm still playing the game (along with two others I already had on the go - so I won't be finishing it very quickly) but I can say I'VE not found ANY bad bits so far !!

Wow, that sounds fantastic! But then again, you're not finished yet.
I'll try and not let that get to my head Mad, otherwise I might end up like Mikael, in Bosch's Damnation.

Well I HAVE finished the game now and I commend you on an excellent first effort

Of course I'm sure I'm not the only person who now can't wait for you to release your next one !!

Congratulations and thank you

Thank you Mad! I hope I can make one every year like Mikael. Time will tell. But it is fun and I want to do it. But now I want to play a game like this myself. Who will be next to make a Carol Reed-clone?

Well a genuine Carol Reed would be the best, don't you think ??

[I'm not sure Mikael will want too many folk cloning his creation ]

So I'm hoping he is busily beavering away on HIS next treat for us all

I agree Mad. And he is working on the next one. I've taken photos and recorded my voice for my part. But I don't know anything about it beyond that, so I'm just as excited.
I always try to get inside information, but haven't succeeded yet.

That is great news, Kim. I am so glad that Mikael is working on the next game. And you are returning to the next Carol Reed game for an encore!

It is Marian. And I'm very happy to be a part of it. I was very nervous the first time I recorded my voice,
but the coolness of being in an adventure game took over, so now I just love it.
(OK, I'm a little nervous each time, but I guess that's a good thing.)

I think I found a glitch. At the tracks by the car wash you take a picture to use elsewhere. If you go back to those tracks again your camera is automatically in your hands and is stuck there. At least I could not shake it off, but was able to right click and reload a prior save. I tried it again and same thing.

What! I though that thing worked! Will look into it, thanks.

EDIT. Looked into it, and don't really understand it yet, have to consult the master.
YOu see, if you do what you right away, it works fine, but if you wait a while, it happens as you describe it. So something's wrong somewhere. Very glad you found it though, I don't want any errors obviously. =)

The problem that oldbroad found, has been corrected now. My master have come through once again.
I'm working on a new .exe right now, and when I'm done, I'll send a new download link to all. Thanks again!

Thanks RebKean. You'd never have the problem if you don't go back to that area again. I'm a wanderer though.

You can go back there, but it's when you pick up a certain thing that you can't go back there. It's a good thing that you wander as it turned out.

Thanks for letting us know, oldbroad and to you, also, RebKean for supplying the solution

Thanks Mad, but the solution actually came from Mikael. The master.

Well in that case .... Thank You Mikael !!

Just wanted to mention that I added a link to a walkthrough on YouTube in the Hints Forum. If anyone should need it. =)

Wonderful! THanks so much, Kim!

Ana

You're welcome. It might help someone out. =)

That's great! I am looking it up right now. Sounds like a winner!

where could one purchase this silent foot steps I always wanted to play a carol reed game but never did now I think that iam going to start to play the other ones as well. thanks Dianne

Dianne, there is a link to the Silent Footsteps purchase page in Ana's first post on this thread.

Hello All! I just finished "Silent Footsteps". I really liked it but I wish it were longer. I liked the in-game hint system and the video walkthrough which helped me through without missing anything important. This game is so much like the Carol Reed series that it seems to be a bonus. The author of the game was mentored by Mikael as we all know. They did a great job! Can't wait for another! Bravo!

Very happy you liked it! And yes, it would be awsome if it was loooong, but if it was, it would also take longer to make it. But I understand how you feel. Everytime I play a new Carol Reed, I want to keep on playing it! Thankfully, there are plenty Carol Reed games now, so I start from the beginning when I get cravings lol.

Very kind words, thank you!

I too have recently played the entire Carol Reed series over again. And yes, you are correct. The longer the game the longer we would have to wait. And I know how impatient we can be! LOL Thanks again for your excellent work! Looking forward to the next one!

When I play a Carol Reed game, I don't really stop until I'm finished, which will of course affect how long it feels. But I'm not the kind of person that can take long breaks. I get too excited.

It's not easy to estimate length, and perhaps the story would feel very drawn out if it was, say double it's current length? I don't know. But yeah, as it is now, it's either a longer game, and further apart or the other way around. But I totally understand. I want them longer as well!

Those that have commented have been very nice, and that ensures that I want to continue. Not that everything is great, but I'm so very happy that many of you want more. I'm in a planning phase right now, and also I take some pictures of course. And like I've said in other posts, I can guarantee that the orientation will be like in Mikael's games from now on. 4 directions to look almost everywhere. So the movement should be easier, and more familiar.

Thanks again!

I just have to ask... How can one wish for a longer game



When they use...



Now I don't question anyone if they choose to use Hints or Walkthroughs in any form as it is their choice and they are available but the game is longer without using them. Just saying.

Well............... While I am enjoying a game sometimes I want it to go on . You are correct about using hints and walkthroughs. But I really get so frustrated when I know I have missed something and can't figure something out. This happens to me a lot of times playing Nancy Drew games which I always end up having to ask for a saved game. I am one of those people who likes to finish a game. There are a few adventure games where I had just given up and that makes me crazy. So I definitely need hints and walkthroughs.

Hi Penny

Don't get me wrong and I meant no disrespect. I wasn't questioning the virtues of using Walkthroughs, Hints or the right to use them, I was really confused as to how one could wish for a longer game when it is. I also agree with you on when you are really enjoying a game you don't ever want it to end.

No problem! But you pointed out to me something that I hadn't thought of. Using the hint system made the game really easy to follow and of course it would shorten a game.

When I think of the time and effort the game developers put into a game it really is impressive. Something that I wouldn't have the least idea how to do. The Carol Reed series and this game require a lot of photography which would take a long time to achieve what they want for a game and I certainly do appreciate their efforts.

I think they do a wonderful job.

I have the same problem. If I get stuck for too long, I lose interest in the game. That's why I like this hint system. But at the same time, it can be TOO easy to look as well lol.
Perhaps I should out a lock on the journal, so that you can only look if you do something. Oh I know, a puzzle! The player has to sing a song for it to open! Haha, I'm sorry, my brain just went off a cliff there.

What ????

If you were to make us sing a song in order to access the hints, a lot of US could be jumping off that cliff with you !!!!

For sure!

Haha, I just got a mental image (picture?), of players singing into a microphone.

I wanted to add something important. Today it happened again that the email address I got from PayPay was outdated or not working for any other reason.
It's very important that you check and make sure the email on your PayPayl account is accurate. There is no possible way for me to get in touch with a buyer if the email is not valid. I added that to the website as well.

EDIT. Perhaps the title of this thread needs to be edited so no one thinks it's a new giveaway or something? Can I do that myself?

No worries, it says Winners announced , but I can change it to remove the giveaway part.

Yes please.

EDIT. Perhaps remove our comments now as well?
