Does 3 Cards to Midnight play the adventure card, the casual card, or a little of both? Flotsam investigates this gripping, controversial mystery game.

Thanks for the review ,not my type of game.

Excellent, concise review but I will pass. I am not sure of the intended audience. I hope such talent will aim a little higher in the future.

Thank you for the review, flotsam. It might interest some of our posters to know that Big Fish is going to be getting this game this weekend; BFG-Guy posted this information in the Big Fish forums last night.

Thanks Marian,
The game sounds interesting and it's good to know I'll be able to get it from Big Fish.

Thanks for the review Flotsam. I was wondering about the game. I may give it a try as I do like a good story most of all.

THanks Marian, I'll be giving it a try then!

I just finished the game. Having to figure out what items you're looking for made it harder than other hidden object games I've played. Looking forward to the next game.

3 Cards to Midnight is now the TGT (tomorrow's game today) at Big Fish (meaning it is available for Game Club members now, available for non-game-club members on Sunday).

Thanks Becky and Flotsam. Excellent description Flotsam!

I am not a casual game player but for $6.99 I think I will go over to Big Fish and download it.

This one is a head scratcher...........not full adventure or hidden object. I think its worth a try so will go ahead and purchase it. I do think its one we may need to use a walkthrough to offset scratching too many bald spots on the head.

Intriguing story line, diversified puzzles a real thinking game.
I have grown used to the traditional list or outlines of items to find, in this case you are given only a word and must find all objects that would refer to that word. I think that in itself is what makes it feel strange. I would not pay $20 to $30 dollars for it though. So BFG and the developer can probably do quite well at the new pricing.

The walkthrough is Right here.

Had I known it would be at Big Fish.... oh well I supported the authors with an extra $14.00.

The same thing happened to me. I also didn't want to wait until Big Fish got it for I wasn't sure how long that would be. It turned out to be such a short time. Oh well, as you say, we gave them our support. Mel22odie

Thanks Flotsam and Becky - good review

Thanks for the walkthrough Ana

If you are worried about the difficulty of the word association-hidden object gameplay, pick the Easy setting when starting the game. If you play a chapter and decide that you really like the word association gameplay and would like to see even more of these challenges, you can start again under a different "identity" and this time pick a more difficult setting.

There's no shame in selecting the Easy setting. The gameplay is difficult enough, that making fewer word associations still gives plenty of challenge.

Nice job, Flotsam.

I think you played your cards just right with your review ( sorry, can't help it ).

I am very surprised by how much the price is being undercut by Big Fish Games. It is a great bargain for gamers, but then why are chris and aaron selling for much higher prices at their own site? Did I miss something?

All games are 6.99 at BigFish Dave.

Ana

I may be wrong but I think that @$6.99 per game at BF Aaron and company may generate enough revenue to produce another Tex Murphy like game if not another Tex Murphy ending game to the cliff hanger we last played......one can only hope.

is this a hog game or a mixture of hog and point and click

It is a casual word game.
