It has been a LONG while since I've played any games and I would like everyone's opinion. What is out there that is fairly new...within the last couple of years...that is similar to GK: The Beast Within, The Longest Journey, Syberia, Dracula: Resurrection, etc.? I liked both the storylines and the navigation in these games. Thanks! smile

That's quite a range! But I vote for Lost Horizon. Beautiful game and fun, too. Not dark, though, like GK or Dracula.

3rd person point of view:

Black Mirror II and III
Lost Horizon
Memento Mori
Gray Matter
Last Half of Darkness: Shadows of the Servants
Dracula Origin (plenty of puzzles)
Possibly the ***Chronicles of Mystery*** or ***Art of Murder*** adventure games:
  • FBI Confidential
  • Hunt for the Puppeteer
  • Cards of Destiny
  • The Scorpio Ritual
  • The Tree of Life


1st person point of view:

Baron Wittard: Nemesis of Ragnarok
Last Half of Darkness: Tomb of Zojir

If you liked Dracula Resurrection, you might like Dracula: Path of the Dragon, though it's darker and creepier than Dracula Resurrection.

And check out other games from Kheops Studios ***here***.
(scroll down the page for the adventures)

Just warning you. It's pretty grim, but maybe that's what you want.

If you like a story driven game...The Black Mirror series is as good as it gets. Just as good as TLJ & I NEVER thought there would ever be a game as good!! ALS....

The Lost Crown is AMAZING & for a 1st person game do yourself a HUGE favor & play Scratches The Directors Cut

So if it doesn't say Windows 7 I can't play them? All the ones I looked at said Windows XP or Vista at best. frown

It doesn't mean that it won't play, it means it wasn't made for that OS. Glitches is the proper forum to check on what games will play on what OS. There is also a stickied thread there are games that will run on Win7.
