I've just finished playing for about 1 1/2 hrs, and have only scratched the surface. However there was a lot to do.

I downloaded at 5:30 am this morning, I got up for another reason and couldn't go back to sleep knowing the game was ready to download, just like knowing it's Christmas morning. It took about an hour and half with highspeed and not the highest speed going.

The graphics are very clear, the objects are not hard to find at all, I have yet to use a hint which is not normal for me. But the game begs that you just take your time and all is revealed.

There is so much going on but not in a chaotic way, it's non-linear and somewhat like Return to Ravenhurst where you keep returning with objects you found in other places.

Everything about this game is top notch, I can't see anyone being disappointed.

I marvel at the abilities it takes to make games like this, it's amazing the amount of work it must take to put it all together and make it work.

I think this game beats all others before it.

Just my humble opinion.
Flo

At least it's downloaded so you'll be able to get at it right away.

I'm working from home today, and I do need to work, so I'm glad I got a taste of it. I can leave it alone now and do my work.

Ejoy!

I downloaded at 12:01 and played only for little bit as I was so tired and I have a Drs. appointment at 8:30 so had to get some sleep before that. However, I'm up again and have a couple of more hours (before Dr.) to play. Ana you will love it. It is a fantastic game. I, for a change, will take my time and savor every scene and look at everything. This is going to be a wonderful day.

Good Morning and Thank you Ana smile

I just finished dld and it took 20 minutes. I did get a message about checking the connection to the Internet, but found that when we close the game manager and then open again...it's okay and activated. turkey

FloNS, I had no doubt this would be well worth the $19.99 and then some. Woohoo!!!!

Slyone, I like taking my time and thoroughly enjoying all the hard work that is put into making these games. I have a deep appreciation for everyone involved.

Thank you BFG smile

thanksgiving

Has anyone tried to look at the Strategy Guide. I just wanted to take a look to see how I did at the beginning and to see if I missed anything. However, all I get is the Introduction page in the Walkthrough, I don't see any way to turn the page. Any ideas?

Hi Flo NS wave

Just click on the title you need on the right page...Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc. Once you get into the guide you can use the arrows in the lower right to turn the pages.

Good Luck!

Thanks Margie,

I was only in Introduction.

Flo

Ok, I'm at a standstill now and the Strategy Guide doesn't help. I haven't gotten the key to the last locked bedroom, the Rose one I guess, it looks like a short gold key, I don't have it and I don't know where to look for it.

I've been everywhere, the boathouse, the garage, all the rooms including the office, except for the last bedroom.

Any idea what I'm missing?

Click to reveal..
If you have the oars, you might want to go for a boat ride. You should find what you need on the ice on the way to the fishing shack.


Enjoy the rest of the game.

You do not get Harmony, if you all sing the same note.

Hey Flo NS, you're welcome.

That part is actually in the strategy guide. if you look in the section previous to the "Fishing Shanty"

Hope that helps!

Ok, here's the stupid question.

How do I get the Oars down please?

I have a saw, lighter, hammer and nails and a piece of wood. None of it works on the oars.



I was doing so good frown

Thanks Margie

Flo NS,

Before you can get the oars down use the hammer, nails and board on the tree outside the hotel. Leave the hotel and go right.

Good Luck.

Awesome Game! I jumped a few times as something unexpected jumped out at me or I saw something. This game should be rated 10 stars in my opinion. Great actors, fast hint refill, love the graphics and built in stragedy guide. I hope more games will follow the lead of this game, it is worth the higher price of BFG and I hope BFG will make more like this. All hidden objects should be this much fun. The storyline is really creepy and the atmosphere makes you feel like your lost in a snowstorm. what happens in a certain building really sent the chills. I am glad this game will also be the lower price but for me I couldn't wait and wanted the extras in this one.

I did encounter a bug though and it crashed my game and I sure hope the game was saved. Did anyone else crash in the hunters cottage? I was just clicking on stuff by the fireplace and I got an error and a hard crash where I had to do alt control delete to get out of it. Until this happened the game played beautifully and installed easily.

Will this exact game be the one offered in December or is this one special?

I downloaded it as soon as possible this morning and have played a little bit. Not too much because games like this are to be savored over time. Enjoying it so far and it is well worth the price with all the extras. Love that the strategy guide is included. That way I don't have to close out the game to get back to a walkthrough.
