Amber's Blood, the eight game in the Carol Reed mystery series has just been announced!


Carol's friend Stina comes across a puzzling date in her grandfather's obituary -- was her grandfather alive for years when Stina thought he was dead? Stina is injured and hospitalized, and it's up to Carol to track down the truth. Will Carol open up a Pandora's box of dark family secrets?

For screenshots from the game, click here. For more about the story, click here. For system requirements and other information, click here.


Amber's Blood will release in February 2012, and will be available on disk and as a download. A demo will be posted shortly on the MDNA Games website.

Great news. I love the Carol Reed games, although I'm not up to date with them. Still need to play Colour of Murder and the ones after that but I'll be buying as soon as Dave has it for sale!

Great, I really need a new Carol Reed adventure, my favorite games to play, especially since the last two I purchased I couldnt play because the sound wouldnt work.

CountZero, if you have versions (of 2 of the first 3 games I guess) with no sound, you have purchased outdated versions. You're also probably running Windows 7. Contact me and we'll fix you up with updated versions.

for many years, I have occasionally played "adventure games".
for many reasons, the "Carol Reed" games, are my Favorites.

(quote from "www.mdna-games.com")
"The game contains no graphic violence or strong language."
"It has no action sequences, and is suitable for all ages."

Also, I have the feeling of "being there", and doing something good.
These games run well on any 'average' computer.
Thanks, Mikael, for your good work.

I did purchase those two games and I am using windows 7. I purchased them from bfg and they said they dont have the updated version. They have since credited me already. If I purchase them from your site Im assuming I will get the updated versions?

I have to tell you. I have played all the other games in the Carol Reed series and I just love everything about them. The only problem is I need a new one about once a month smile

CountZero, I can only guarantee that you get the latest versions when you buy the disk versions from our site. All the large portals selling our games have been provided the latest versions of the games in question. I can not guarantee that they offer these versions for download however. For example, Big Fish are still selling the previous versions of Remedy and Time Stand Still, (which can have sound issues on some Win 7 setups) even though I've reminded them to upload the latest versions.

But, when players who have downloaded outdated versions contact me, we've always been able to solve the problems by email. It worries me though that most players probably don't think of contacting me.

Mikael,
I will do that from now on, now that I know you are here. You may want to talk to big fish, they told me they had no fix for the sound issue on win 7 for those two games. From now on I will purchase direct from you. I have played tons of adventure games, but I like yours the best. Thanks for the great games and your response to my questions....

I'm getting a new computer with Windows 7 and I have Remedy Time Stand Still and Hope; Springs Eternal on disc that I bought years back and I would sure like to play them again some day so its nice to know that I can get a fix to play them again.

Marie yes
