Good afternoon everyone.

It's an absolutely beautiful day here. I'm trying to gear myself up to mow my lawn - maybe later this afternoon, when it's not so hot in my back yard.

After many days of having too much to do, I'm now in the middle of four days where I actually have not one thing to do. It's heaven.

Glad the eyes are healing nicely, Draclvr.

I do like a bit of stop motion claymation, so The MIdnight Walk was a no brainer to play.

I am currently 40 minutes in and still working my way around. While the game says a controller is best, I am playing perfectly fine with the mouse and keyboard, although rebinding the keys is eluding me so far. It's a small thing, but should be available, so hopefully my Steam post will help.

You play the Burnt One, who having borrowed some eyes and some ears heads off into the world. It's a dark place, illuminated by fire. Matches and candles have been a staple thus far, sometimes opening new paths, sometimes just providing a bit of cheer.

What I am doing (bigger picture wise) I am not yet sure. I do know I need to avoid the crawling many limbed things that will bite your head off (I got caught to deliberately find out what would happen). I snuck past the first and ran away from the second, and I assume they will also be a staple as I progress.

I am collecting rag dolls as I go, for what purpose I don't yet know. I have also gathered an inventory item or two that can be activated and then used. I have also learnt to close my eyes to allow me to hear things more clearly. I expect that too will be an ongoing requirement.

I have just encountered Potboy, a (possible) companion that is just as the name implies and who can carry fire. Having fed him, he seems to be willing to come along/lead me.

It looks and sounds good, so long as you don't mind a gloomy, dark visage. That might change as the game goes on.

It plays in the third person and saves automatically. It also supports VR.

I look forward to what is to come.

Thanks Marian!

Thanks Orion!

It seems that Echoes of Sorrow was developed by Blitpop Games. The game on Tim's list that I know of that was developed by Dave Gilbert of Wadjet Eye is Emerald City Confidential.

Ob, I agree that Emerald City is adventure lite, maybe not even lite; but being as it was produced by Playfirst, the developer of Diner Dash and other hugely successful casual games, it ended up being sold/directed at the casual games market. Unfortunately all of Playfirst's casual games were removed from the Big Fish website many years ago, but fortunately I have many of them.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks Lex

Ms Mary ... I agree with Mad, OldBroad, Marian, Draclvr, Connie and everyone that it is good to "let go" and talk as you have many friends to talk with!

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

All correct and both correct for #5!
