I have just completed Chronicles of Mystery, The Tree of Life and I am exhausted. My word doesn't that woman rabbit on?..Verbal diarrhoea or what! It was a nice game used the W/T a couple of times (depending on your interpretation of a couple). It looked pretty although it took a while to change locations, but that could have been due to poor old Ted (my computer). I admit I prefer the puzzling aspect of games rather than the story, but my digit is very sore from skipping the endless dialogue and I am worried that "think Sylvie" will haunt my dreams for a while to come. This is not the view of The Management, just the ravings of a miserable git with bleeding ears. Sorry, meant this to start a new topic could a kind Moderator sort this out for me?

Got you moved Cris! I'm a puzzle, not dialogue player but I hesitate to skip because you miss the plot. Did you like the rest of the game?

I think Sylvie is still thinking of you! Probably rehearsing her next conversation with you in her head. I take it that the women in your gaming life are usually more "restful"?

Sorry if I gave the impression that it had no redeeming features, but it was a nice game and I appreciated the auto-save when danger loomed. I'm not the sharpest knife in the box! (and she can run quite quickly!!)

Cris53,

I really liked this game but agree with you that some of the dialogue was tiresome, especially those weird costumed charcters in the stree near the fountain and gondola. I didn't skip the dialogue in case I missed something. I like story based games (not puzzle based)so this gane was right up my alley.

Despite a few annoyances like that, I thought the game was great and hope they make another one soon.

I liked the game also even if I was a little bit uneasy with certain puzzles. The wk of Ronrob was very helpful though. I had fun reviewing the videos after I finished the game. I could appreciate more the work done by doing that. Sali

I have the answer. Go to options: Responses to incorrect use of inventory item. Choose a) "Think Sylvie, Think! b) "Who wasn't paying attention?" in the blistering, sarcastic tones of a long dead school teacher or c) imperceptible shrug of the shoulders followed by one slightly raised eyebrow. What do you think? I remember playing Mask of Eternity where dude grunted as he jumped. I've had a pathological fear of constipation since then!

When you get a sore finger, use your fist instead.

Whenever I got the "Think Sylvie, Think" message, I would mumble/yell (depending on mood) "That's what I'm trying to do here, and you aren't helping me any!"

Thanks, cris - I needed those belly laughs.
