RedRum - New HOG on BigFish

Todays game for Club Members and Daily Game Splash Members, tomorrows game for all.

It's tomorrow! Download RedRum Here.



As always, please remember to come back and tell us what you think.

I played the first chapter of this and thought it to be excellent! I love the suspense and horror theme. It's the first time I really paid attention to the story and can't wait to see what happens.

Happy Gaming,
Ana

Ana, I think you have led me astray again..

Thanks Ana.......

I believe like JennyP, you have led me astray as well. This looks like a great game, can't wait to come home to play.

I've been waiting for this one. I really liked the beta and glad to see this released now.

Me too Misa....I was hoping this was going to be coming up. I was excited when I saw it this morning.

Ana

I think we should have GB awards & I nominate Ana for the leading people astray category. MaG would lead in the person who gets no sleep category as she cannot possibly have time for sleep with all she does for us.

You crack me up Jenny!

Big Fish has the best timing... what better game for Halloween than this one. I played a few minutes before work and it looks to be a game.

I've steadfastly refused to look at this one so I wouldn't be tempted. Now the path that leads astray looks more like an interstate highway, so I'm off to download it. So much for cooking and cleaning today - the game's afoot!

Ana is exceptionally talented and we all know MaG is really one of several clones

I was waiting for this one too. Downloading now. And it looks to be an Octoberfest game too. Just in time for Halloween. I also think alot of people are leading other people astray here. This is a dangerous site to be on! We must all step away from the computer, just step away, and no-one gets hurt.

Oh well if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

I guess I should try this one too.
It sounds a little "different" from the usual HOG.

Just finished the demo and found it too easy. The puzzles are always the same type and get boring after awhile.
Not one I will buy.

OK... after playing it longer I've decided NOT to buy this one.
The objects are almost impossible to find. Some items are hidden in dark areas... Maybe my eyes are just too darned old but I found this to be extremely frustrating.

I didn't even finish the demo.

I don't want to discourage anyone but this game started out good at the very beginning, errie graphics and sounds. However like Thracia said it gets boring with the hexagram puzzles and anagram. I am grateful they give us a option to skip the anagram puzzle because I hated that puzzle.

The storyline is good since for me the storyline is very important. I get bored when there is no interaction with the objects we find. Also it would have been more fun if we could have solved the crimes.

I was so sure I would enjoy the game I bought it. Now I am regretting it. Just my opinion though for those of you who like it hope you have fun.

One more thing it sure would have been great if the spooky atmosphere would have continued like in Ravenhurst. Talking to dead people with this little girls character could have had so many possibilities to make it a better game. Especially with voice dialogue.

Sherryah

Fun game,unfortunately is short. Less than 3 hours of casual play.

Sorry Sherryah, Orchid girl said it was boring after a while. I only tried a little of it and haven't gotten to the hexagram puzzles or the anagram yet. What little I did play, I liked so far.

NY Lady, I play with my reading glasses on and found the itemes in the first scene not to be to small. The game aslo seems to give you enough hints(by finding the roses). I thought the items in Dr Lynch were much smaller.


thracia

I found the anagram puzzle was easy because first of all they gave you colour clues, and then if you tried the wrong letter it wouldn't stick.
Thank goodness for demos that let you try out the game before buying.

I agree totally. I'm not buying either.

Lisa

I bought it after playing the demo for about 40 minutes.
Seems to be a good Halloween game.
Hopefully it's not too short.

i found this game lack a lot of things some puzzles where okay but it was not like other HOGS that kept you so involve that you could not stop playing the game. I will pass on this one.

I've finished it. It was on the short side, but I thought the music was above average.

I am loving this. I want to know what happens at the end so will use my last game credit ..

OK - it was short and it was easy, but the graphics, music and story made up for the shortcomings. Not every game can be a blockbuster, but this one is so creepy, I just had to have it for my very own.

Kind of a cute game but I was on Page 40 after playing for only 45 minutes and figured it wouldn't be much longer so I opted not to buy.

I could have done without the "dentist" scene, especially since I just had a root canal done last week. There were a couple of screens where there were more than one similar object in the "find" list when you only needed one. Yes, I agree, the puzzles are rather easy. Interestingly different story line.

Help!!! How in the world do you "exit" out of this game???
I've had to turn the whole computer off in order to get back to the desktop, every time.

Can you get back to the main menu?

Hi Jenny--No, the only option I have is to play the intro over again & again. When I "control,alt,delete, it sometimes brings the book back to the bottom left, but nothing happens there either.

From the gameplay screen with the listed items, click where it says Pause in the middle, just above the item list. Then click Menu. Then click the Dead Diary book. Then click Exit. Answer Yes to confirm Exit.

Does anybody know anything about this game on BF...

It has a RED Warning label for the game <EEEKK>

Just kind of scary "R" type of game.
Think "The Ring" meets "blaire witch" meets "the exorcist".

Thanks, BFG

The scarier the Better ...Scary is good..

Darleen, all the HOGS and puzzle games have a Discussion thread here for comments that you can search for opinions. The Redrum one is Here.

Ana

That's the same name in the movie the shining. Spell Redrum backwards.
Richard

I forget not everyone is a Stephen King junkie like me. I love the Shining and just take "Redrum" for granted that everyone knows.

Ana

I thought this game was a bit boring...

Ana
I to loved the shining I've watched it a number of times. A real good story.
Richard

Thanks, Ana

I didn't know there was a thread on it...I assumed it was a new game

I make a new announcement thread made for every HOG and Puzzle game every morning if there is a new release. We are HOG junkies here, I wouldn't dare miss one.

Ana

Oh No
I think I am becoming a junkie.
