I just finished Amber's Blood. I really enjoyed playing it. In fact I have pulled out all of my other Carol Reed games and will replay them. Keep up the great work! I can't wait for the next one! Thank you Mikael! urock

I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. Of all the CR games, this is my own favourite.

I don't think they could de-cypher the code. There was also S.W.A.L.K.

Maybe trying to decipher all these codes actually slowed them down. lol

My game arrived this week. Thank you very much. I will play it over the weekend. smile

BTW - ever thought about releasing a Soundtrack? I love the beautiful music in the Carol Reed games and would love to listen to them outside of the games.

I've always gotten Carol Reed on disc, don't see any reason to change.

I've finished this one as well. I really enjoyed it, excellent balance between puzzles, exploration and story.

Mikael (assuming you read this!), would you ever consider producing a commentary? It would be really interesting finding out about how you found some of the locations and what they really are..

I'm glad that the discs have arrived in one piece. smile

Eheufaucan: A soundtrack? Well, frankly I have given it some thought, since some people have asked for it. But I'm afraid it might be considered too pretentious.

Krispi: A commentary would be fun to do. Sometimes the truth about how those places were found (and especially entered!) is more dramatic than the going-ons in the games.

@Mikael: Yes, a Soundtrack would be great! Sometimes I start the game and turn off the display just to listen to the music. Would be much easier if you could release the soundtrack - even if it's only in digital form.

I also like the idea of a commentary. I think the creating process of games like yours (that play at real locations) are much more interesting than if the game has fully computer generated graphics.

Who are all the people we met in the game? Where did you find all the beautiful locations? Were are they on a map (I really wish to visit Norrköpping someday - it's not that far from germany)? Was it difficult to get the permission for taking photos? Do we see the real interior of the houses or was it just arranged for the pictures?

I don't know if it's just me but Im really interested in the making of your games. Maybe someday you could make some kind of documentary. I would buy it (togehter with the soundtrack wink ).

So thats the reason we only get one game per year - half the time you've been arrested for breaking into the houses to take your pictures. grin

This would be great. You found some amazing locations and I'd love to hear more about them and how you managed to find your way in! I'd certainly pay for this as well...
