You can download Grim Tales: All Shades of Black Collector's Edition here.



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

Happy gaming!

Thanks, Marian!

Thanks Marian! I'll be buying this one for sure. Never had a Grim Tales that disappointed.

Sounds promising, Tally Ho!

Thanks although the link isn't working for me. I, too, like Grim Tales.

It isn't working for me either, although it was working earlier. Hopefully it will get sorted. The download page is inaccessible at the moment.

It worked fine for me. One of these days I'll have to start this series.

Thanks Marian!

Yes, the link is working again now.

Bought this based on part of the demo. Didn't get to play the whole. First someone knocked on the door then the phone rang, the dogs wanted in and out, the cat bowls needed retrieving, and at least some of the kitchen howled to be tidied.

I used to object to Richard's smarmy insinuating tone except when he was recounting his dodgy, blood-soaked past in lines rich with alluring hints of both an ill spent life and naughty eternity. Now I miss him. Mom is depressingly earnest. She probably drives a ghostly minivan instead of suffering through in a fabulously crafted Fisher body coach with a loyal and obsequious coachwoman and snorty team of jet black Friesians, which would almost certainly be Richard's choice parked next to a smokey, translucent Lamborghini.

I do enjoy Anna, both old and young, whose unstinting devotion to the integrity of her manicure--even or perhaps particularly in emergencies--forces us to find all manner of beautifully detailed items. I think of Anna's screwdrivers as having incised and jeweled handles to go with her Grim Tales, wolf-headed keys. In Grim Tales: All Shades of Black I like going back to the castle. For the building in crisply rendered glory, Grim Tales: The Legacy, Grim Tales: The Vengeance, and to an extent Grim Tales: The Heir are my picks yet some Black castle is better than no Black castle so I plan on savoring Grim Tales: All Shades of Black.

Brilliant post, 8dognight! Were there such a thing, it would be put into the Casual Games Hall of Fame.

I am glad the game is providing some amusement.

I have all the other Grim Tales games so will certainly be picking this one up.

Thank-you.

Easy to understand why any long-lasting union between Anna's parents was not going to work out. I have forgotten the details if I ever knew them but happily suspect the worst.

Hi, Marian!

I downloaded the demo and enjoyed what I've played so far, so it's a definite buy for me when BF has its next sale. If it's a BOGO, I can pair it with Dark City: The International Intrigue CE because I don't have that one yet !

Susan

That sounds like a good plan, Susan.

A Collector's Edition sale is going up now. Grim Tales will be on the exclusion list. New York Mysteries, on the other hand, is not excluded and I just picked it up.

Hi, Marian!

Is that something new? I may be mistaken, but at one time I seem to remember new releases being included in the sales. Do we know how long it is before new releases are not considered new releases anymore? At least I can pick up Dark City: International Intrigue CE because it was released last year !

Susan

Susan and Marian, thank-you kindly. I bought the new NYM and am going to have a look at Dark City: International City in the next few minutes.

Yes, this is something fairly recent. I don't remember exactly when this started but it's been a few months. I see people complaining about this policy, but if you look at it from a developer's point of view, I am surprised that this wasn't always the way it was. It seems to me that a developer would not want to see their game discounted right after it has been released. The way it works now, if it's a BOGO, any game will be included in the sale. However, if it is a percent-off sale, recent releases are excluded. I have noticed that in general the time period for new games to drop off the exclusion list seems to be about 9-10 days.

8dognight, I hope you enjoy the latest New York Mysteries.

Hi, 8dognight and Marian!

8dognight, you're very welcome. I really enjoyed the Dark City series and have all of the other games, but International Intrigue seems to be missing. After playing the demo, it's a definite buy for me.

Marian, I'm delighted my memory isn't going, but I do agree that it makes sense to exclude games that have just been released. If I'm able to, I'll pick up the new Grim Tales during the Thanksgiving sale.

Elephant developed both Fate's Carnival and Dire Grove, Sacred Grove.

It's time to rotate Mystery Case Files back to Elephant Games for a few years.

I think that's a great idea, 8dognight. I think Elephant may be spreading itself a bit thin now what with Midnight Castle, mobile games, and PC, but perhaps they could still be equal to the task.
