oldbroad I think I'm done with Riven. Nothing wrong with the game. I just enjoy more character interaction than this game has.

Ah, got it! I'm a loner and a hermit so I'm used to having no other character interaction .

LOL oldbroad.

I finally finished Nancy Drew: The Captive Curse with help from a walkthrough.

I think I am going to try Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals next even though the review mentions timed puzzles and dying.

Well, I haven't gotten very far yet and am using the walkthrough already. Too nerve-wracking to just keep trying over and over to figure out what to do in the time allowed. You cannot even exit to the main screen. Fortunately, the Windows key works so I was able to get to the walkthrough. Still in Chapter 1 and it is really not a long chapter at all. I'll have to play this game in spurts.

That sounds very much like what I have read about the game, ob. I think I would be very discouraged in short order but maybe there is also something worthwhile in it.

Congrats on finishing Captive Curse!

I started the original Black Mirror yesterday. I have played and finished it twice over the years and was ready for a replay.
