I will have to replay the game some day also!

I finished Episode 10 of Artifact Seekers with 8 stars. I had only 7 but went back in and replayed one puzzle that gave me a star for being quick. I did, however, consult that guide a couple of times in this episode. My brain isn't working as well as it was when I first started playing the game. I'm not understanding some of the puzzles.

I have also been playing Escape Rosecliff Island (hog) and replaying The Spell (match 3).

Starting Shattered Minds: Encore.

I don't seem to have either of the Shattered Minds games. I hope you enjoy it!

The developer is Vast Studios. I am enjoying it more than I thought I would. I am finding it quite fun so far.

I really liked Shattered Minds: Encore.

Yesterday I finished Hidden Expedition: Dawn of Prosperity which I also found to be enjoyable.

Under the Coming Soon section on Big Fish, it says Mystery Case Files: Fate's Carnival Remastered. My first thought was why on earth does this game need remastering? It already looks great. But someone says the game runs with no sound on her Windows 11, so I guess there may be some issues with new operating systems. My second thought is that I hope this isn't the "new Mystery Case Files game" they said they were working on, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Oh, son of a...

I hate when I type and then forget to hit the "post reply" and lose what I typed. Years ago, Jenny told me how to retrieve that but I don't remember how. So let's see if I can retype it all.

I have put the Shattered Minds games on my list to buy. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Interesting news about the Mystery Case Files game. Maybe they will fix Shadow Lake up one day.

I have taken a few days break from most of my games, casual and adventure. I have only been playing some paint games and a mosaic game called Worlds Greatest Cities which is pretty good except it doesn't save your progress and some of the puzzles require guessing and/or using hints. I don't like the guessing but the losing progress is worse. Hopefully, I will get back to the other games today or tomorrow.

I think that was it.

It appears they removed MCF: Fate's Carnival from the BF site. You would think they would remove Dire Grove since it doesn't work.

I finished Episode 11 of Artifact Seekers but only received 4 stars. I couldn't find half of the items I needed for most of the stars and I definitely could not do the required puzzle in the secret room to earn that star. My couple is falling behind another couple, LOL!

Yes, someone mentioned elsewhere yesterday that the original MCF: Fate's Carnival has been de-listed.

There is also a rumor going around that they are working on getting Dire Grove up and running, but it is only a rumor.

As I said above, apparently Windows 11 can have issues with Fate's Carnival on some computers, but I don't know how big of a problem it is.

Congrats on finishing Episode 11!

I saw this conversation, and tried to run Fate's Carnival. Voila, it runs just fine. (Windows 11)
It remains one of my all-time favorites.

That's good, Tally Ho! Are you playing Artifact Seekers or no?

No, I got frustrated. Gave up, despite the fact that it's from 5BN. Like you, I don't want to pay for hints and skips.

At the moment, playing some of the daily dollar deals. Also some of the "So Much Stuff" series. They are totally mindless. Just takes me out of reality for a while.

Will you end up buying the Artifact Seeker games from Big Fish or do you just not care for the game? I admit that I am getting more frustrated as I go along (like right now). I really should have taken some breaks in between. I am not a person who plays a series straight through from beginning to end and wouldn't have done that with this game if I bought each game separately.

I always play some "mindless" game or other every day.

Don't know if you remeber them but Oberon Games/Floodlight Games had some games back in the mid-2000's era. Jane Jensen had a hand in them after she left Sierra. I"m currently playing Agatha Christie's Death of the Nile. I am surprised how hard it is. Some of the hidden objects are easy. Others are excruciatingly hard. Plus the chapter is timed. Falii to finish in time ... start over. But you start over with some different objects rolled into the mix. Like I said, I'm surprise how difficult this is. BTW, AC-DotN was game of the year in 2005 or 2006.

I have that game on a disc, rtrooney. I liked that old type of HOG.

I remember all those games, rtrooney. One of the games that I enjoyed was Dr. Lynch: Grave Secrets which Jane Jensen (of Sierra and Gabriel Knight fame) designed.

Jane also designed Deadtime Stories, another good one in my Purchase History.
