Sound like a really scary game.

Barb, let us know what you think.

MaG

Will do, L4L. What part of Alabama are you in?

Hi ya Barb, we are in central Al, where it is hot....but then it seems to be hot everywhere.

I finally made it to the refinery. I'm only playing about 1/2 an hour a day since the atmosphere is so creepy!! I can't take much more than that, lol

JeanK......I'm so glad you are enjoying it.

I'm not so sure enjoyment is the word since I'm scared most of the time, and nothing has happened yet! Well, a few little things. It's the atmosphere. It kind of reminds me of the psychological suspense build up in old Hitchcock movies. I know there are monsters and scary things coming up.

My guy will be walking along and all of a sudden start freaking out, breathing hard and all. It makes ME freak out!!

I might have to start playing in the daytime instead of at nigh.

Hi Looney & Jean, I started the game, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. Does it stay so dark through the whole game? I like to be able to see at least some of what I'm playing!

We're planning to move to Alabama as soon as we sell our house; to Sylacauga, or the Lake Martin area.

It's very hot in Kansas, too!

Barb

The game is definitely dark - both in content and appearance. I'd suggest changing the settings on your monitor to brighten it up a bit if you're having trouble seeing things.

JeanK, I had a game I had to play during the day with the tv and all the lights on. There is a reason I don't play scary games.

Barb, the Lake Martin area is beautiful. We used to camp there frequently when the kids were little. I would love to have a house on the lake but that is not happening unless a rich relative dies and leaves me all his money. Of course, for that to happen, one must have a rich relative and I don't.

heh heh, wish I had one, too, Looney.

I did turn up the brightness & figured out how to use the tinderboxes. Is there a map anywhere in the game?

We may not be able to afford a house on the lake, but maybe we can get close.

Hey, Drac , what are you playing?

Barb, right now I'm playing with 148 tomato plants, family visiting from Germany for 3 weeks and managing the bar at our American Legion post while the bar manager is on vacation for 2 weeks! Toss in volunteer work shoveling horse poo at the Humane Society horse rescue ranch down the road and there is nary a game in sight!

But when things quiet down, I will get back into Witcher 2 which I started and had to leave for the time being.

Gee Drac, sounds like you need something to do!

I really should give the Witcher another try. I got stuck trying to figure out what to do & went on to something else.

I'm not very far into the game yet, Barb, so can't say if there is a map. It would be good if there were. Maybe I'll do a search later and see if I can find one.

I'm using the walkthrough that someone posted here:

http://www.gamershell.com/faqs/amnesiathedarkdescentwalkthrough/1.10/

It helps somewhat.

Thanks Jean, that's the WT I have, too. I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure I will. A map would be wonderful. I don't usually play games that don't have an auto-map.

Oh Sheesh I am having a very hard time with this water. How many times is that thing gonna kill mer fer crying out loud!!! I cant seem to time it right

I think I did the water part about 20 times before I finally got out of there! If you get to a box that might have some yummy snacks for the monster, just throw them into the water away from the direction you want to go. It should keep him busy for a little while.

Thanks Drac

Did you get the treats Sassafras?

Yeah , but I think he likes the taste of ME better!

If it's any help, when you throw the "snacks" and the creature moves towards them, wait until it actually starts eating them *before* making a run for it. Otherwise the big 'orrible turns back and goes straight for you instead.

(I've been watching YouTube Let's Plays of this one!)

Did you get it?

Thanks Rushes

I got sidetracked with a pulled back muscle so haven't been able to play this in a bit. Sitting for me than 10 minutes has been uncomfortable, but I'll probably be able to get back to it in a day or so. Now that hopefully you all have passed me up I'll be able to get advice!

Doggone it!!! Does anyone have a saved game right after this water thing???

Sass, I haven't played this, but hopefully one of our other members will be able to help you out. Which Windows are you using?

oops sorry XP media edition
