I would prefer something to let me know what to click on - random clicking gets tiresome.

The saving only at the end of a chapter doesn't bother me mainly because I already know what to do when I start again.

I love the butler!

Thanks for the reassurance, Marian, and the tip about Nevosoft games.

"Sir, grab the spiders, and let's hurry to the boiler room."

That's one great line among many delivered with perfect aplomb. The scripting and voiceovers are superb in this game.

I didn't like "Magic Academy" enough to finish it; however, I am playing this game with gusto despite the annoying non-save feature. The voice acting is superior to that in most full blown adventure games, as are the amusing character graphics, for example, the maid with facial piercings. The actor doing Glenfield created an entrancing world weary butler. I hope he gets the Casual Game Best Supporting Actor award and look forward to hearing him in other parts.

I wonder how Nevosoft got such top of the line voice actors when other games of all types have such trouble?

I edited this post to mention that Alt+Tab ameliorates the non-save problem if you don't mind having Vampireville on the desktop. Then I started pondering the differences in voice acting quality after reading Jane Jensen's recent interview.

I just finished this one last night and it was fun and the acting was spot on. I hope the developers will make more games. My only minor gripe was not being able to save in the middle of a chapter which is a minor gripe since the chapters were short.

I originally posted to ask for help but I finally solved it.

Not saving until end of chapters is common with casual games.

I enjoyed the game except for those solitaire games.

I just installed this game yesterday and finished it about 5 min. ago. It was great. I'm really glad I bought this one. Well worth playing again.

Agree Tammy. This was a really fun game. The gameplay is a bit more interesting than others. Not as much hog as interactive. Fun story too and mini games aren't too difficult. Plenty of bang for your game bucks.
