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.

I really like Black Mirror Marian. Have fun.

Happy Times, Marian !! YEAH 👍👍👍

Such a great series!

Yes, it is a great series. I am always feeling so torn about what to play. I sometimes want to replay old games that I know I liked but there are so many old games I never played as well as new games and I wish I could just play them all. For some reason though, I just don't seem to get into the Adventures so much as I do the Casuals. Not that I like the casuals better; I think they're just easier to play and I need easier these days. Anyway...

I finished Nikopol tonight. It's a pretty short game, probably even if you don't use the walkthrough as much as I did. I played a good portion by myself but mostly I didn't really understand the game too much. I still found it interesting though and am glad I finally played it.

I'm thinking another old unplayed game next: The Next Big Thing.

Hey folks..

I trust all is well with everyone !! I usually hang up my mouse during summer - I am outdoors much of the time.. Anyway - Thought I would get back into it so I got Dimhaven and just started it. So far - it looks ok after about half hour of play even though the graphics are a bit "dated". But it is a Puzzle Adventure so on we go !

It is good to be back !!

Good to see you, sureshot! Come back and let us know how you like Dimhaven. I haven't purchased it yet, but will.

I am playing Red Comrades Save the Galaxy: Reloaded. It's very atmospheric because it's in Russian (with English subtitles)!

I've looked at those Red Comrades games multiple times but have not purchased them. They look fun though.

I have been playing Dimhaven for a while now.. and I am actually enjoying it even though the graphics should be much better given that the game is from same developer as Quern !

But It is a puzzle adventure and there is a lot of exploring and there is a story line so I will continue on.

Good to know, sureshot.

I am playing The Next Big Thing. It's okay, sort of weird, and a little too much talking for me, however, I don't believe you actually have to have all the conversations, just some of them. The use of the word "dis-concerting" is already annoying to me and I am only in Chapter 2.

I am playing Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel. I have played this several times and every so often I feel like playing it again.

Good to go with what you're feeling like playing! Enjoy the game again, Marian!

Are you going to continue the Black Mirror series?

I certainly am. Just taking a break after having finished the first game.
