I just went into the Adventure shop and 15 days was added to the download. Could somebody tell me if it's okay to download this game. Seems awful soon. Can't see anything about preorder. Thanks

Sounds promising. Although 2 MBs is small for a contemporary adventure game -- maybe it's 2 GBs?

Becky that was my download speed. Took me about 45 minutes to download. All point and click. Really nice game. just started playing. True adventure game. Third pearson. The graphics are wonderful and I mean wonderful. The mouse is really smooth. Double click and she runs. Rename a save. Everybody will love this game, well worth $25.

2 MB per second is fast. I don't think I've ever even come close to that speed.
That's great that you're enjoying the game!

Re: 15 days - 06/19/10 01:55 AM
I was surprised it was that fast. It started out at 850 KP/S than went up to 2 MB/S. I thought it would take up to 4 hrs. Really like this game. You can skip puzzles to.

Shame we cant get it for $25 in the UK. 20 pounds (bout $30). We always seem to get stung for a few extra quid:-(

Kjos, how do you feel the game's story compares so far with The Moment of Silence and Overclocked?

Amazon UK have the disk version available for pre-order for less than £20, mj2c

Re: 15 days - 06/19/10 01:26 PM
venus,I really think they are about the same. There is a lot of talking but you can press the Esc key. You can save anywhere in the game and rename the save. Double click to make Cathryn run. Wonderful game.

Re: 15 days - 06/19/10 01:30 PM
Thanks, kjos. Well, I actually like a lot of talking, so I am okay there.
Glad to hear the quality has stayed consistent. I love House of Tales games.
I know the creators have left the company, which is sad. I hope we will still see some more games from them in the future.

Re: 15 days - 06/19/10 03:57 PM
I'm really surprised there is a walkthrough for this game already. To see the hot spots press the space bar. I guess nobody else is playing this game. I hope it never ends.
Richard
I became disenchanted with Darkness Within 2 and was looking on The Adventure Shop's website for something else to play. When I saw 15 Days, it looked promising and the posts I saw here convinced me to get it. Totally worth it!

It's also available at Interact. I pre-ordered my copy there.

Venus has pre-ordered 15 Days and I'm looking forward to playing it. I really liked their previous games, Moment of Silence and Overclocked.

Re: 15 days - 06/21/10 12:40 AM
What a great game just finished it. Pretty long to. Some places were pretty hard but didn't look at the WT. Well worth the money. I saved all the saves just in case.

A girl and two guys have to steal a two paintings. Believe you me there is a lot more to it than that. I don't want to say to much.

Re: 15 days - 06/21/10 01:05 AM
Doesnt ring a bell. I`ll have to check through my games when I get back home and if not I should be able to pick it up cheap if it's an oldie. Is it a proper point and click?

Re: 15 days - 06/21/10 01:10 AM
mj2c, The game I was talking about was 15 Days.

lol thanks Ana. That Bobs kiosk looks familiar so I might have played it. Cant remember a thing about it though, so it might be worth a replay.
It's an awesome game mj, the story was fantastic!

Re: 15 days - 06/22/10 08:52 PM
Kjos,
What are the specs of your computer? I ask this because I decided not to buy the game becasue it calls for a Nvidia Geforce 8600gs and my card is a 7600GS and therefore not powerful enough to run it. Is your system a high tech custom made machine?
Posted By: Jenny100
Re: 15 days - 06/22/10 10:10 PM
According to Gamersgate, it only needs
128 MB RAM Shader 2.0 Graphics card
***Slydos' review*** of the german version says the same thing for the minimum spec, and Slydos played with a Geforce 7600 GS.

Re: 15 days - 06/22/10 10:57 PM
Lexxy.I have a Nvidia Geforce9400 GT. My system isn't high tech. I had it built but nothing special in it. Here are my specks Lexxy.

Lexxy, re: "my card is a 7600GS"
Your card is somewhat identical to my Laptop card = NVidia GForce Go 7600, a 128 MB dedicated memory and I have just installed the game and tested it for about 10 minutes and So Far, So Good.
Hope this helps

Jenny100 & Richard,
You both have help me unmake my mind. I so wanted to play this game but was afraid I would have a game on my hands that my system could not handle. Well here goes another one on my must buy list.

Kjos: im downloading the game now as im typing this to you and it IS available on The Adventure Shop to download..
I just finished playing - great game!

Re: 15 days - 07/04/10 11:41 PM
I am glad to see everyone is really liking this game...i am now playing as jack......up until now all there has mostly been is dialog with not much in the way of a challenge in any way whatsoever...i sure hope it gets better..i really enjoyed moment of silence, but so far this does not compare....maybe im jumping the gun to early in the game..
Hi hamer,
I have read some strong opinions on other adventure forums where players didn't like 15 Days. I think because they didn't find it enough of a challenge so maybe that will be your experience with the game too.
I think I will like it because the last thing I want is a challenge. I find it hard enough just to do the things I know I'm supposed to do (I get lost very easily!) without trying to figure out what in the world comes next and needing to check the walkthrough. Who knows, maybe this game will be so easy it will be a first for me, like the first time I didn't need hints or walkthroughs. I can hardly wait.

Re: 15 days - 07/08/10 07:55 PM
Just completed the game a few days ago, and boy its really bad, dull and boring whole way through had to quit alot cause i just got bored playing, there is little to none real gameplay and the puzzle's was just more annoying than hard thanks to the skip function.
Gotta be the worst adventure game this year so far hope alot more from this game.
Different strokes for different folks.
Ana
I've just finished this game and while I enjoyed the story and the graphics I do agree that the game just wasn't on the same level as The Moment of Silence as far as the gameplay goes.
The main feature of 15 Days was the story and its dialogue. Puzzles were few and far between and when they did arrive they were tricky with no sort of 'help' or even a hint, just an annoying skip feature.
Another gripe I had with the game was the numerous crashes to desktop which I experienced. Some error message which said that the Cougar runtime engine had stopped working...
this must have happened at least 10 times, with no apparent reason as my specs were more than up to scratch. Everytime the error occured I had to retrace steps although thankfully the dialogue could be skipped very quickly/easily.
Advice to fellow gamers would be - if you don't like a story laden with dialogue then give this one a miss.
C+ (This ended up as a mini review)
