Once every year or two I replay the Enigmatis Trilogy. One, because it's a good story arc that has an actual conclusion at the end. (I.e. there will be no fourth episode.) And, two, it shows a surprising growth in production values over the course of its three episodes. I just finished The Ghosts of Maple Creek. Not quite as good as the other two, but it is notable for being the first use of Artifex-Mundi's Spark Hidden-Object Engine, which became the "gold standard" for HO game creators. Planning to start Mists of Ravenwood, my favorite of the three, later this week.


For whom the games toll.
They toll for thee.

Tim, thanks for reminding me of this trilogy. I loved this series and it's been quite a while since I played it, so I appreciate your post!

I have not played the Enigmatis games yet. I do have them, of course.

I played and enjoyed Enchanted Kingdom: Frost Curse (on my Windows 7 computer). It didn't start out too good though with the first 3 puzzles giving me trouble. I skipped one and used a guide for the other two. After that, I was able to do them all. Maybe I just wasn't in the proper mood / mode. Although, I did change one or two of the rest of the puzzles to easy mode. I usually leave them on hard mode which seems to be where they default to.

I have since started My Brother Rabbit which I never played before.

Tally Ho, if you are ever interested in a specific Domini game, I can let you know whether or not it works on my Win 10, but as I know I already stated, none of the games released in 2019 or later (that I have) works. I stopped buying them once I figured that out. There are 70+ games that I will not buy so they have lost some business.

And I know of several other people with this Domini games problem. They are probably making enough from PC and mobile combined that they can't be bothered to troubleshoot/fix this, unfortunately. That is pure speculation on my part, of course, and my apologies to Domini if this is not the case.

Ob, my favorite of the Enigmatis games is Mists of Ravenwood, but they are all good. The first game as I recall has a lot more hidden object scenes than the other two, but it is a good game as well.

I haven't played Frost Curse. I also haven't played My Brother Rabbit yet. And yes, they are both in my Purchase History. rolleyes

I finished My Brother Rabbit last night. A good game, different, but tedious at times (for me anyway). I found myself clicking around unsure what I was looking for several times. I haven't yet decided what's next.

Your description of My Brother Rabbit sounds about what I would expect, based on my reading about it. I will give it a try at some point.

Currently playing Dark Romance: The Monster Within and having a good time with it.

Many years ago I played Evil Pumpkin: The Lost Halloween and it stuck in my brain as a game I apparently liked. Last year I talked about replaying it and put the game icon on my desktop where it still sits. Tonight I started it and I think it is going to be quite hard. I am playing in Casual Mode vs Adventure Mode. I'm not sure what mode I played it in in the past. The difference (besides the normal hint time recharge and sparkles) is that Casual has HO scenes and Adventure does not. The game is weird so far which may be what I liked about it. I'm not remembering much yet. We'll see.

It being October, I am also planning to play Jewel Match: Dracula but first I have to finish Matchventures 3. Actually, I'm sure I've completed the game but it just goes on and on anyway. I am nearing Level 200 and will stope when I get there I guess. I completed rebuilding the 3 castles some time back and now am just keeping them in repair.

I am nearly 50% finished with the Nonograms game which is over 1000 puzzles with the 10 new DLC's that just came out. Even though I found out how to change colors and backgrounds to make it easier for me to see the grids properly, I am still making a lot of stupid, careless mistakes but I've only restarted a couple of the puzzles. I'm not going for perfect in this game. wink

I think I remember Evil Pumpkin: The Lost Halloween being discussed here in the last several years. I remember playing a bit of the demo years ago but for some reason I never actually purchased it.

Jewel Match: Dracula looks like fun.

I finished Dark Romance: The Monster Within and am now playing Myth or Reality: Snowbound Secrets.

Oh, and I think not going for perfect with the nonograms is a very good idea. laugh
