I finished Gaslamp Cases: The Deadly Machine. I am going to try Lost in Night next if it works. It appears that Big Fish removed it from their site. I also finished Dream Day Honeymoon and am close to finishing Dream Day First Home. Yes, I am still playing True Fear Forsaken Souls Part 3 also. It is a very long game (too long in my opinion). I thought I was at the end of it the other day but then it started up again going off in some other direction. I don't think the game makes much sense at all. I finished all of the original Nonogram DLC's that I had purchased which is about 820 puzzles but there were 10 more DLC's added later which I also bought. I am taking a break before playing those though and am playing Time Twin Mosaics: Winter Splash instead. Lots of stuff!

Well, I thought I was almost finished with Dream Day First Home but I was only half way through the game. I forgot that at the beginning of the game you choose one of two houses but it does tell you that after you finish the first house, you then play the second house. I started Lost in Night tonight. It is fun so far. I'm playing in timed swap mode. It starts you in swap but after a certain number of levels you can switch apparently to chain or group if you want to. Maybe you can switch every level if you want. I will stick with swap for now but would like to try the other modes also. There is something in this game that I haven't seen before. Some of the boards are like honeycombs and the matches are a lot more difficult, at least at first. I suppose once I get more used to them, they'll be easier. This link shows you a screen of what I'm talking about since I am not good at descriptions. https://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/lost-in-night/At times you are prompted to get 3 matches of a certain item and then you earn a power up. I used a hammer once. There are several different bombs but I don't know if they do different damage or not. I didn't see a tutorial and honestly was happy not to have one popping up in my face after every move I made like some of them do. I usually cannot retain all of the information for more than 30 seconds anyway. And you build a town. It's a shame Big Fish removed these games from their website. There were some others that I had on my "to buy" list that are no longer there either: Lost in Reefs 1 and 2 from the same developer. Oh, I see Steam now has the Lost in Reefs games. I had noted on my list that they did not have the games.

Just played one of the 50 games I'm in the process of dl-ing. Brink of Conscienceness - Lonely Hearts Murders. It's better than I remembered. My primary recollection was that there was a lot of walking. There is, only aided by a non-interactive map that only tells you where you should walk to if you get least. There's a lot of pencil work, as found items are rarely used in the locations you find them. Or, conversely, you will only find items several locations after you find a use for them. Example: you find a door that needs a hinge to open, but you find that hinge four or five locations later ... now where did I see that door? Hense the need for notes. Grahphics are excellent. As is the voice acting. While not frequent, character animations are also surprisingly good. One flaw: There is a lot of dialog, and it is accomapied by a Skip button under the scene. Skip at your own peril because the dialog my contain an embedded clue.

I have finally finished the True Fear trilogy. There were, of course, some good things to the games but I cannot say they were fun to play, and that does not have anything to do with the subject matter. Marian, that time that I spent in the game (over 20 hours) includes some skipped puzzles. I have the first two, form GOG. I know the third one is out there. Just haven't got around to buying it yet. I really liked the first two, but thught the 2nd was better.
