I am starting a new thread (part seven) of What Casual Games Are You Playing Right Now? so that we can continue our discussion, as the previous thread was getting quite long.

For those wishing to read the previous thread which was part six, it can be found here.

Laughed out loud while playing Twilight Phenomena (Lodgers) when the ape guy did the hand signal that he was keeping his eyes on me. It's a nice little game, a lot of puzzles but not too hard. I'm still playing.

I finished Twilight Phenomena: The Lodgers of House 13 tonight. I think I will start Spirit Legends: Finding Balance tomorrow. I have also been playing RestorArt: Fairwood Hills and Summer in Italy Mosaic Edition as well as some "paint" games, and still working on Secret Investigations: Revelation.

Glad you enjoyed the Twight game, oldbroad.
I’m nearly at the end of the bonus chapter of my second one - Strange Menagerie - and will then play the last of the three 👍
(And if there were more, I’d have just carried on !! 😬)

Glad to hear you liked the Lodgers of House 13, ob!

And I do wish there had been more in this series.

I just finished The Legacy: Forgotten Gates CE. I always enjoy 5 BN games.

Next is Shop it Up! This has been in my Purchase History for over a decade and it's time to play it.

Don't spend all your money, Marian! I had to look Shop It Up up because I don't have it. No wonder; time management.

Yes, it's time management. Level 19 out of 75. Not sure how far I will get with it, but it will be fun to see.

I have been working around some internet issues since yesterday. Yesterday we had an outage lasting 6-1/2 hours and then it came back. Today it was out for about 9-1/2 hours and then it came back again, within 30 minutes of when it came back on Saturday. I put in a work order yesterday and the earliest they could get anyone over here is tomorrow morning. Anyway, it's kept the weekend interesting. Hopefully tomorrow something will get fixed.

Heck, Marian !!

I hope it gets sorted for you very quickly 🤞🤞🤞

Yes, I hope so too, Marian! Some days I lose my connection on and off all day but I don't know for sure if it's my internet or my computer.

I should NEVER play these Mosaic games. I just spent about 5 hours playing and kept telling myself to stop and play something else. The last couple of nights I was falling asleep but kept trying to complete a level. They really rope me in, just like a Match 3 does.

Please remind me to never get started on Mosaic games.

Thank you both for your good wishes on my internet. Hopefully it will be a simple fix.

I finished Spirit Legends: Finding Balance. I think I will play Shtriga: Summer Camp next.

I played Shtriga: Summer Camp a few years ago and enjoyed it overall.

I am still playing Shop it Up! and I have also started European Mystery: Flowers of Death, which so far is a very nice game.

I finished RestorArt and Summer in Italy Mosaics yesterday. Tonight I finished Shtriga. It was pretty good, a lot to do it seemed like. I did skip one puzzle after a not too long time that I wasn't sure I was doing right. I sure wasn't getting anywhere with it anyway.

I think I will play Tearstone 2: Thieves of the Heart next.

I haven't played Tearstone 2.

I am liking European Mystery: Flowers of Death a lot - I think it's just really nicely done. I will for sure play the other two games in the series.

I have the European Mystery games installed on my Win 7. Hopefully, I will get to them one of these days.

And now I made the mistake of starting Jewel Match Origins: Palais Imperial According to Steam I played for 3.9 hours.

I finished Tearstone 2 and will move on to Mystery Trackers: Blackrow's Secret next.

What did you think of Tearstone 2?

I started Mystery of the Ancients: Curse of the Black Water and played for five hours yesterday. This is my second time playing the game.

Tearstone 2 was enjoyable. If you liked the first game, you'll like this one. They're both good, but not games that stand out to me and stay in my mind. In fact, I couldn't remember what the first game was about and had to look it up to refresh my memory before I started the second game, and I played it earlier this year, not years ago. I didn't find all of the collectibles but that didn't affect anything so I don't care.

I haven't played any of the Mystery of the Ancients games yet, though I do have some of them installed and waiting.

I have Scent of Desire and The Face of Envy - and, of course, can't remember if I've played either one

[So it's a case of saving up my pennies now, if I want the other one 👀]

Thanks for the rundown on Tearstone 2, ob.

Mad, I started keeping a list of casual games played and finished; I started the list in March 2020. Otherwise, I would not remember for sure what games I have played either. Number of games finished in a little more than five years is 391. That number amazes me - it doesn't seem like that many at all.

Marian, is that number just casual games? To date from 2020, I have played (or am playing) 326 casuals. The number includes some games that are never ending (such as jigsaw puzzles games) so it's not exactly accurate.

I started keeping my played list in 2018 and I list adventures as well as casuals. I keep each year on a separate spreadsheet tab and do some sorts on it here and there so at the end of the year I can tally up the adventures and the casuals separately.

That number was just for casual games, ob.

Having long since retired from my profession in Accounting - and now also my voluntary accounts work, I find myself reluctant to initiate spreadsheets or any other sensible way of cataloguing my huge collection of games.

I'm just content to be totally unprofessional about the whole thing

However, I have caved in and bought the remaining European Mystery game - so that's how strong willed I AM !!!!
