Just finished...a great game

Hi, Redz!

I just finished as well, and loved it. In fact, I think I'll play it again because it wasn't until near the end that I realized I could use my map to move from room to room !

I really enjoyed this game! It was pretty long, too. Nice assortment of puzzles and the different "dimensions" added a nice twist.

I feel the same way about the really good games. You just hope that the next game you choose will be as satisfying.

I agree it's a great one. Got stuck for a while because I couldn't find one of the torn scraps, but now nearly finished.

These H.O. games are being so well developed with decent story-lines, they almost qualify as "real" adventures.

Nice to see you, Tally Ho! I agree with what you said; the line between these games and "real" adventures is becoming ever thinner. You could almost say that adventure games are undergoing a resurgence via the "casual-game" route; it's a very interesting trend to observe.

Many of these adventure-lite casual games seem to me to have encapsulated the fun elements of adventure games while eliminating the sometimes-frustrating elements of "real" adventure games. That is one of the attractions of these games for me.

I have to agree, this one was a very worthwhile purchase for me.
Making it especially nice was the ability to use
an earned game credit to buy,
& an extra punch on my card for buying!

Great game. This one will go in my best ten list for 2010.

I agree, Great game. The creators of dragon Dance could learn from these people.

Well, I did it. I finally finished Mystery of Mortlake Mansion. It was quite a ride, though I could have done without the string puzzles. Those always pull my strings.

There was also a light up all the squares, which I had to skip because it was lighting me up. But the nice this about skip was that I received what would have been given had I solved the puzzle. Very nice.

You may not like the game if you don't like going from place to place collecting pieces for this room or that. Or if your eyesight is like mine, then you won't like the darkened appearance of the shadow rooms as you try and find the objects in the HOG searches.

But overall, it was a great game to play. Even though it had string puzzles.

Glad you enjoyed it Homer!

I just finished Mystery of Mortlake Mansion also and I really liked it. I agree about the string games, only thing I really didn't like. I liked the way you could move around using the map. I thought it was a great HOG and it took quite a long time to play. Great game.

Downloading it now. hadn't been to BF this month as I was just too busy, imagine that!! Can't wait to start, it sounds great!

I didnt like the string puzzles either, although I did manage to finish them - I dont mind one or two, but not one after another after another.

I also liked the map - It would be nice to see these maps as standard in games where there are many locations to travel to.

I thought I was good at string puzzles, until I played this.

I enjoyed the game, wish more would let me pick gender. Get tired of playing girls all the time.

There is one person who loves string puzzles, me.

The more the merrier. I was glad to see more than just one. They really are quite simple once you get the knack of how to do them. Spreading out helps a lot.

Count me in too! I love them.

Make that 3. They're one of my favorites.
