I have just started playing the game.One thing that is bugging me so far. It's the voice actor who is pronouncing "inventory" as
"in- 'vent- tor- 'ee" Is this the way the British pronounce it? think think

That link was for the British English pronunciation. It says so below the audio button, but you might need a magnifying glass to read it. wink

Here's the link for the American pronunciation:

Oh! I'm so jealous! I have a friend who saw them play in Detroit. He said that the screaming was so loud that he couldn't hear anything! But he was not a 14 year old girl so he just didn't understand! I would love to see Paul when he plays in Michigan again but the tickets are so expensive that I doubt that my hubby would ever go. Oh well, I can dream.

My, we do get off topic don't we? smirk

I like the game hints recharge fast random clicking but to many HOs. Graphics are nice. Objects are really small hard to find.

re: Inventory - It doesn't sound like either an American or British pronunciation. I suspect we have a voice actress from somewhere else trying to emulate a British accent. Now I'm going to be watching for other odd pronunciations. lol

I finished the game without ever using the mossy record. What was that supposed to be for?

No idea about the mossy record as I have only played the demo for about 10 minutes. Still finishing up Dark Parables. What did you think of the game?

I liked the Celtic theme and freeing the little animals, though I wasn't sure if they were really animals or transformed people. The story was often hard to follow. For example I didn't get the connection between the Severed Heart and what happened to Edwina's parents.
Click to reveal..
Since what happened to her father was an accident, why would the Curse affect Edwina's mother? Her mother may have blamed herself and deteriorated because of that, but she shouldn't be affected by a curse that affects murderers -- unless I missed some detail about her killing herself. But if the Thorne woman found it necessary to build all those "shadowlock" things to protect against the mother's warped spirit, wouldn't it have had to be because of the Curse? And what happened to Ms. Thorne anyway? Last we saw she rode off on a bicycle, but in the bonus segment you hear she died? What happened to her? Did the creature get her? Why would it do that if the creature was acting because of the curse? Ms. Thorne wasn't a murderer. And why would the creature actually be Edwina's father, and after he changes to human form he tells her mother about angels he's seen and that she'll see in the place they're going? That makes no sense if he was trapped in the creature's body until he finds Edwina's mother. He'd have had to have been spending time in heaven to see angels.

It certainly wasn't much like either of the previous Margrave games.
On the whole I liked it. I just wish the plot hung together a bit better.
