This is the game for tomorrow on BFG. Has anyone played it yet?

You can download 3 Cards to Deadtime Here.



As always, please remember to come back and tell us what you think.

Happy Gaming,
Ana

I can't download it. At first download stopped several times and I paused and resumed it. Now it's just hanging there at 100% and not finishing. This happened with me several times before always on the weekends. Does anyone else have trouble downloading?

I've played it. Not impressed.

I liked it but will not buy it because they spoiled the game by interrupting the scenes with constant narrative. I would just get warm on the hunt for items and they would interrupt and sometimes not even return to where I was. Very disturbing but I do like this way of find objects... by category. A shame they spoiled it. Time for narrative is between scenes not in the middle of it.

I couldn't stop playing it the first time. Played it through a second time and found that a choice offered partway through really did change the outcome for an important character. I'm right at the end of the second play-through, and have been waiting to play the very last bit. I'm sort of savoring the anticipation.

I agree with NYLady way to much talking and interupting!!

Hi, Becky!

I don't remember where I downloaded the demo from, but I enjoyed it enough that I'm just gonna purchase it from "BigFish". Hearing Chris Jones' voice and seeing his face again is well worth the price of admission ! Of course, I'm still holding out hope that we'll eventually see another Tex Murphy game.

I really like this game. I'm enjoying the story. I think it's good. I liked the first one also.

I like it too, but I agree with the coments about the interuptions. I will buy this next month,as I have filled up 2 punch cards for Feb.

The most important part of the game is the story.

The interuption only comes after you have finished finding all objects for a particular category. If you chose to play the relaxed mode, then you do not have to find all the objects in a category, so if you are interupted by the continuation of the story, that means you only had to find what you already found.

I thought it was a great sequal to the first game, and I will be playing a second time like Becky to see what the outcome will be for the second choice.

Maybe I'll switch modes then. The HO part seemed to go buy too quickly, I didn't seem to need to find to many things before the next video played, so it seemed like short playing time between videos.

I really enjoyed this game. In fact, it actually made the first game make more sense for me ( if that makes any sense )

The dialogue made the game for me - a great story, lots of twists and turns. I found the HO part rather easy and while I wish there had been more of it, I also found myself getting a bit annoyed at having to go search for things when I wanted to find out what was next in the story! I also noticed that while Jess' lisp in the first game almost drove me crazy, that it was hardly noticeable at all in this game. That made following the story much easier.

I think it's a 'Love It!' / 'Hate It!' type of game, but I am definitely one who loved it. I hope there is another game to follow - to see where Jess' gift takes her next.

Hi, which2!

The ending seems to suggest that there will be at least a third game in the series. I finished "3 Cards to Dead Time" last night and will replay so I can make a different choice and see the second ending.

Both games have the perfect mix of storyline, puzzles and hidden objects (as well as the opportunity to play in two different modes), and I enjoyed the change from locating objects on a list to locating objects that were connected to one another because it really made you think.

I loved it, as I did the first one. Played through twice, also, to see the difference. If you really don't want to listen to the dialogue, you can hit the space bar to skip. However, the storyline is interesting, I think. Can't wait for the next installment.

Thanks FLO NS for the info on the differences in the play modes. I too had played the demo on another site and remembered having to find all the objects before you could move on. Relaxed mode and only having to find some of the items did make it seem like all cut scenes and no game play. Will buy now.

Part of me wasn't thrilled with the game - all the talking during my demo time. But the rest of me felt compelled to keep playing

So I did purchase this as my 6th game for the month!

I think it does a great job of continuing the story started in 3 Cards to Midnight. It has just the right amount of difficulty in figuring out what objects I am supposed to click on.

Question for those who didn't like the time spent on conversations/dialogue. This is a pretty big file game for a HOG. Would you say that the dialogue is the reason for the file size? Graphics? Or is there a lot more gameplay than in the average HOG?

One of the reasons I was disappointed in "Dire Grove" was because it seemed to me that the graphics (specifically the inclusion of the video tapes) added more to the size of the game than the actual gameplay. I felt that "Return to Ravenhearst" was much more worth the time. I'm wondering if this will be the case with "3 Cards".
