Well............... While I am enjoying a game sometimes I want it to go on . You are correct about using hints and walkthroughs. But I really get so frustrated when I know I have missed something and can't figure something out. This happens to me a lot of times playing Nancy Drew games which I always end up having to ask for a saved game. I am one of those people who likes to finish a game. There are a few adventure games where I had just given up and that makes me crazy. So I definitely need hints and walkthroughs.

Hi Penny

Don't get me wrong and I meant no disrespect. I wasn't questioning the virtues of using Walkthroughs, Hints or the right to use them, I was really confused as to how one could wish for a longer game when it is. I also agree with you on when you are really enjoying a game you don't ever want it to end.

No problem! But you pointed out to me something that I hadn't thought of. Using the hint system made the game really easy to follow and of course it would shorten a game.

When I think of the time and effort the game developers put into a game it really is impressive. Something that I wouldn't have the least idea how to do. The Carol Reed series and this game require a lot of photography which would take a long time to achieve what they want for a game and I certainly do appreciate their efforts.

I think they do a wonderful job.

I have the same problem. If I get stuck for too long, I lose interest in the game. That's why I like this hint system. But at the same time, it can be TOO easy to look as well lol.
Perhaps I should out a lock on the journal, so that you can only look if you do something. Oh I know, a puzzle! The player has to sing a song for it to open! Haha, I'm sorry, my brain just went off a cliff there.

What ????

If you were to make us sing a song in order to access the hints, a lot of US could be jumping off that cliff with you !!!!

For sure!

Haha, I just got a mental image (picture?), of players singing into a microphone.

I wanted to add something important. Today it happened again that the email address I got from PayPay was outdated or not working for any other reason.
It's very important that you check and make sure the email on your PayPayl account is accurate. There is no possible way for me to get in touch with a buyer if the email is not valid. I added that to the website as well.

EDIT. Perhaps the title of this thread needs to be edited so no one thinks it's a new giveaway or something? Can I do that myself?

No worries, it says Winners announced , but I can change it to remove the giveaway part.

Yes please.

EDIT. Perhaps remove our comments now as well?
