I hope you are able to change the grid and cell coloring. Not being able to make things out can be frustrating.

I just finished Mystery Murders: The Sleeping Palace and I loved it. I needed a little nudge towards the very end of the game because I was trying to put an item on a wall without success. I looked at a walkthrough and I just needed to place the item a tiny bit higher above the place where I was clicking. Aside from that, I only skipped a puzzle or two and had a great time otherwise.

Next up is Dark Angels: Masquerade of Shadows.

Thanks Marian. I did figure out how to change the coloring so it is easier on my eyes.

I had to look at part of a video to refresh my memory of The Sleeping Palace. I'm quite sure I enjoyed the game also. I'm glad you had fun with it!

I finished Twin Minds: Nobody's Here. I wish I could say I enjoyed it, but I really didn't. I think I liked the first Twin Minds game a lot but these next three went straight downhill for me. Maybe I am just a cranky old lady.

I have Dark Angels from Steam but haven't played it yet. I hope you like it.

I think I am going to play Dracula's Legacy next. I also moved Matchventures 3 icon to my desktop so I may start that soon.

I have played Dracula's Legacy and I did enjoy it.

I haven't played all the Twin Minds games so can't venture an opinion on that. smile

I know I have the first Matchventures game but not sure about the other two. Will check.

Dark Angels has been fun so far. I was surprised to hear Lani Minella doing voiceovers in this game.

I finished Dracula's Legacy and I liked it a lot but I can't say I understood the ending at all.

I started a replay of Agatha Christie - 4:50 From Paddington.

Not understanding the ending of Dracula's Legacy rings a bell with me but I don't remember why now. I will look at a walkthrough to see how it ended.

I finished Dark Angels and quite enjoyed it overall.

Since then, I have been playing The Fog.

Hope that's not going to be the case all the way through eek

I played the game last year, Mad, but I don't remember it. I'm having some trouble finding items in my Agatha Christie game. So far I only had to replay one chapter though. Playing in timed mode.

Phew !!

I would have to be dragged kicking and screaming to play most any game in timed mode 😱

But good luck to YOU for doing so 🤗

I enjoyed those early Agatha Christie casual games that were in timed mode. But you have to be in the mood for it.

I haven't played that Time Mysteries game yet.

I played all three Time Mysteries games last year and just took a look at them for a refresher. I think they were pretty good games so I hope you can find your way through the HO scenes, Mad.

I like a lot of the HOGs timed and most of my Match 3s also. Not my adventures though! laugh

But, the option to not play in timed mode is very welcome!

I finished A C 4:50 From Paddington and started Mystery PI: Lost in Los Angles. I will also be starting Grim Tales: The Wishes soon.

I don't think I've ever played a fully "timed" Agatha Christie game ??
I only have "Death on the Nile" and Peril at End House" from Big Fish though - both of which I bought in 2013.
So if they are timed maybe I haven't played them yet ....

I have several "full adventure" Agatha Christies and they are definitely not timed.

I have Death on the Nile from Big Fish (the casual game) and the hidden object scenes are timed.

I finished The Fog and I also started and finished The Wild Case. The Fog was fun. The Wild Case is an adventure game and while it was a bit on the simplistic side as compared to many others I have played, I quite liked it.

Now playing Exorcist 2, a recommendation of 8dognight, which I am finding very enjoyable.

Ob, there's a game in my Purchase History that I have been thinking of replaying called Hidden Magic. It has an interesting take on timed hidden object scenes, as I recall.

Mad, those are the two games I have only on disc unfortunately. The other two I have from Big Fish. Actually, I think I was given an option to play timed or not. (Can't even remember from just a few days back.) Oh, and I should admit that I did NOT guess the murderer.

Marian, I have both The Fog and The Wild Case installed and waiting. Sometimes those "simplistic" ones are just what's needed for me. In fact, getting more and more so lately it seems. I also have the Exorcist (all 3 games) installed on my Win 7 computer. Hidden Magic is a game I don't seem to have though. I'll take a look at it if it's till available. Okay, I looked at it. No video but I read some of the reviews. Not sure it's for me with that RPG battles??? I'll put it on my list and think about it.

The "battles," as I recall, consist of your trying to finish a hidden object scene before your opponent does. My memory may be a trifle faulty here, but I believe it's something like that. I don't remember there being any combat as we understand it.

I will see if I can't download it and check it out again after I finish my current game. I have been wanting to replay it at some point.

And lately, simpler games have been a good fit for me. I just want to relax! smile
