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

Happy Gaming,
Ana

At long last...I have used my punch card credit. I was beginning to panic... and then along came this (in the nick of time). Short, but a very good game. I particularly enjoyed the mini game where you have to put the right item on the shelf according to the the limited instructions. Logic puzzles ROCK! The background music was nice, graphics were clear and the HOGs not too easy to find. Thumbs up!

I agree, cris53.

This is one I will buy. It will also fill my punch card for next months freebie........yippie.

See ya later.........hanging out the busy sign.

This is definite must buy for me, just have to wait 2 more days to start a new punch card.

Oh, I should have thought of that! -waiting two days, but got excited and got it this morning!

Now I am stuck trying to shut all the doors on the dovecote!

I even used the hint, and it just said to shut all the doors. When I shut one the dove flies back out!
Great game though! Love the graphics and the twists! :spring:

Finally got it. I did not realize I was supposed to use the little levers!

Thanks Ana, this is a great game. I like it. Lots of interaction.

LOL! Does anyone know how to put the sail together? I have all the stuff,but don't know where each item goes.

Doreen

It's ok, I got it

Check out BFG forum. They have lots of hints!

Good Luck

I had to have it ....

Horsedancer, can you please credit the person that wrote that on BigFish please and thank you.

Ana

Hi, Ana!

I'm gonna check this one out because I have one more game to buy in order to fill my April BFG punch card. From the comments, it looks as though I've found "Lucky #6".

Susan

Thank you - you were right - this is worth the buying

I had a credit that would expire today and I bought this game with it yesterday!

Thank you very much, cris53!

I don't know if it's just me, raylinstephens, but after the dearth of good games in April, you might want to change your signature. How about "So many free games, so little to spend them on!" Only joking! We are usually trying NOT to buy everything that's released (Well I am.)

I think this has turned out to be a pretty good game. I had my doubts at first but have changed my mind........its quite nice once I got the knack of mixing potions.

I loved this game! When I was a kid, I got a chemistry set one year for Christmas! I was always trying to "create" new potions!

The graphics are crisp and clear - easy for me to see into the game play, and I can hardly wait for the follow up games!!

Happy Spring! :spring:

This is a great game-I'm in love with the graphics, the music,the puzzles...everything. Much like with Briar Rose I never want this one to end. I have become addicted to these games and I'm so glad that I discovered them through this forum.

Thanks so much you guys,
Tracy

JennyP, thnx 4 the 'Animal Crossing on DS' info.
Just went to ck it out and said
click here to send an e-card.
Well, silly me...punched it and jumped...
1st thing I saw was:
"Hey Kool Kat,
swing by and hear my tunes sometime, dig?
KK Slider"
ROFLOL
I really need to get out more

Kat, did you mean this to be via PM, it doesn't appear to be relevent to this thread?

Ana...

This game is "Wonderful" No need to demo it...I bought it right after seeing the screenshots...

Great game..

This WAS fantastic. I just finished it and already I'm wishing it were still going on. SIGH I hope they make more "Deadtime Stories" soon because if they are anything like this first one, they're going to be awesome!

Tracy

Is this game an IHOG or a HOG?
I don't want to just endlessly search for hidden objects.
Value Gameboomers opinions before buying any game.
thanks
Meryl

Sadly the game will not play on my computer. I guess it's time to buy a new one!

meryl..

This is an IHOG....I really love the game..

You make potions, and do many things.

Very creepy also....I love the carriage guys voice.

Sorry ,Penny..It won't play.

Enjoyed this game very much..hope they have another very soon similar but that might run a bit better. I figured since my machine older xp might run a bit slow(if at all) but was surprised that it did run. what i did was to quit the game every so often and then restart..seemed to help quite a bit. I noticed Jane Jensen's name in the credits...another reason it was so good!! I am going to try in on my laptop Vista sometime and see it it does ok on it. I did notice at the Forums (BF)that quite a few people had problems with getting this game to run..

Yes, this is a Jane Jensen casual game. She has a great gift for telling stories.

Ana

Hi Ana. Just wondering--I didn't know that this was made my Jane Jensen--how cool! Do you know if she's done other casual games and how/where I might find them?

Thanks!
Tracy

Tracy, I'm trying to remember them all, but here are some:

James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club Series
Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile
Agatha Christie’s Peril at End House
Agatha CHristie's Dead Mans Folly
Dr. Lynch Grave Secrets

Ana

Jane Jensen is also responsible for Inspector Parker and BeTrapped; they are not HOGs but rather puzzle games. Worth a look! Big Fish has them both.

Thanks so much Ana and Marian! This is going to be even more fun now that I know she was involved with making these games.

Tracy

Was loving the game, then BBOOM. Deadtime.exe stops. Contacted support and they said I could either opt out of the game, or wait for fix. I said wait for fix. Many peeps have been having same problem obviously as they are contacting the producer of the game.

BUT what am I going to do for a fix whilst waiting for THE fix? Guess I can just keep writing these posts and enjoying the SMILIES!

Ah see another game that looks intersting ...guess I'll wait for the little bubble that tells me that a fix is available. So if you have been playing with no problems, and this happens, hopefully a fix is on the way ASAP.

Jody (BIG FISH they are great in responding... )

Hi,
So Sorry you are having problems. The game played beautifully for me - my only problem is patience waiting for the next one!

I broke down at Christmas and bought a new computer as I started having problems with the games running. The BFG staff was so wonderfully helpful, but some games could not run without more ram.

Good luck!! :spring:

Well my computer is fairly new also, with updated everything that I could want as far as games (can you tell where my desire is !!!!). Not that I haven't kept my "old" computer with XP on it so that I can play the games I already own that don't run on Vista or W7 (stashed away hiding it's little self staying safe). And actually somewhere (I feel like I might have my own HO game ready to photograph and list in the junk in my attic and room-over) I have an even older one on which I could play my "really" oldies AND goodies.

I already am awaiting the next "chapter" and I haven't even finished it yet, just know that I like what I've seen so far.

Thanks for the good luck, and Happy Trails to you also...

Jody

Try restarting the game using a different profile. That worked for me & some others that were having the same problem. It looks like the saved game gets corrupted somehow. It's worth a try.

Thanks, Calypso. I just might do that in that it is a great story and I just finished my last casual before I get Black Mirror 2 (hopefully soon).

Thanks for the suggestion. I saw it earlier in this thread a couple of days ago, and just forgot that folks were having problems.

Again thanks...Jody

ADDITION: Thanks again and again, Calypso. Well I started over and finished this time. What fun that game was...my oh my, just great fun!

Deadtime Stories is an awesome game. I just finished, no problems with it whatsoever and loved everything about it....graphics, music the characters and voices.....just perfect! Some items were a bit difficult to find but I loved the challenge. I cannot wait for Edward Blackgate to come back with another of his stories from the vault.

Woohoo!

Thought it was a great game also. Going to New Orleans in a few days and had to play to get ready!! Hope I don't meet up with any Voodoo Queen's though!!
