THIS was where I got the demo from. I like the narrators voice and I don t think most people will need a walk through .

You have 'this' added to the link, so a quick edit of your post will make the link work Anyway, thanks for finding this demo.

I think you're right dragon - to me it did have that Carol Reed feel.

I bought the game years ago. you had to order it from the website in those days. it's a detectivegame like Carol Reed. it's not a long game, no timepuzzles, you talk with people several times, do a lot of investigation and at the end of the game you have to catch the thief. I have enjoyed it very much and a few months ago I have played it again after a long time.

I've played it twice. Wish there was a sequel.

Played it once and liked it a lot. Loved the fact that I was able to visit Sydney in front of my putor.

It is nt expensive to buy so I think I will get it .Nothing like a good murder or mystery lol .I guess they did nt do any other games like this one .thanks for fixing the link

Thank you for the link dragonuk44. I, too, like the idea that it's similar to the Carol Reed mysteries... perhaps to "A Quiet Weekend in Capri" and "Anacapri the Dream", as well?? Solitary exploration, meeting a few locals on occasion, beautiful places... all are fine ingredients for 3 'vacations' to Sydney, Norrköping, and Capri!

I think it is very interesting taking a peep at the places in other countreys .

I bought Sydney Mystery from the website last week. Am just a little worried because I haven't heard from Twilight Software about the order yet (I did get my Paypal receipt). I hope the game is still in production. I figured it would still be available because the site still worked to take orders.
Hopefully it'll be here this week.

I landed up getting a copy of a very kind boomer .They refunded my money as I waited about 12 wks .Then they sent me the copy and charged me any way I still have that copy .They do send out but I think there is a long wait .No Brown eyed Tiger I am not going to offer to sell it as this is the disscussions forum not the tradeing one See it does get through eventually

Thanks Dragonuk44 for some reassurance. At least it seems that someone's still there (at the other end of the transaction) at Twilight Software. I've written Brendan Reville (or whoever runs the website), so... only time will tell what happens.

Hello Carrie I had given up hope and when this nice boomer gave me the game .I had played the game and some and then it just came through the post .So there is still hope

Yes, there's always hope... it's a good thing to hang on to... and ultimately, I think it's gonna turn out fine.

Thank you for giving me a good laugh at your prescience..(?)...Say... did BET ever get ahold of that extra copy? (I'm just joking, of course)

Tough crowd here....

Not yet Carrie Hello Brown eyed Tiger I bet it was about 6 months befor they sent me mine .

This is what the maker said at the time:

"I made The Sydney Mystery because I love adventure games, and I now know that it's very rewarding and fun to create something from nothing. I leave the game experience in the hands of those who play it, and give no direction except, perhaps: to not expect too much; it's a low budget production after all! I do suspect, though, that after playing the game, you will have another world in your mind, which you can return to again and again in the years that follow. I love my city of Sydney, and if I can share just a tiny piece of it with you, then the game is more than a success".

Set your sites at the right level and its a 5 hour bit of fun.

Flotsam I liked the game it was just the wait but as you say money always comes into it and I do think it is worth the wait .As you say not a big game but good to play .If they had told me in the first place I would have had to wait I would nt have minded but I just thought they were nt going to post it .

Thanks, Flotsam for the developer's words.

And I'm with you, Dragonuk44... I don't mind the waiting, either ... it's just the 'not knowing'. However, because of what's been said here, I have no worries at all that my order was received and will be processed in due time, and I'm very much looking forward to getting a nice Australian 'vacation treat' delivery in the Fall. And who knows... it could come earlier.

Hope fully

I am... I am... (hoping fully). But just in case, have written to the dev... pointing to our discussions here.

I l keep an hold on this copy just pm me if you want me to post it to you
