All Group Players! Should we drop this game, too, and pick up the next one? Or an other one?
lurkercat wanted Agent A for a good while now - shall we bump that one up?

moni, not necessarily no one playing - group play doesnt start till this coming Friday (ie, 10/21). That said, though, personally I'm passing on this one - tried the demo at BFG & didnt like it.

This is a creepy game. Even made me jump at one point. That hasn't happened in a long time.

Am almost finished(played this game in May '21 so I remember bits and pieces of it.) A very good game and thoroughly satisfying. Glad it was chosen for group play or I may not have played it again. It's a great story line

smitty189, pennmom, Why don't they make games like this anymore!? I forgot how good this is. I don't want to stop playing, which hasn't happened in more recent games.

lynnzie, I'm so glad you joined us! moni, lurkercat, smitty189, good2bqueen, I just started today and I took a break at chapter 3. I haven't played this game since it was first released and I remember the scenes but not what to do and where to go to do it AND I had forgotten how amazing the story was! These are my favorite kind of HOs...creepy & mysterious with a great who-dun-t6 ! -I love that I'm able to roam every unlocked scene, I think this is one factor that makes us long for games of the past, right? -I love the HO's, I have scoured the scenes over and over to find the last few objects which never happens in the newer HO's (most of the time I can find all of the objects without looking at the list because the added objects are so obvious nowadays) -I love that the HO's are dreary, that the objects are TRULY blended into the scenery most of the time -I love/hate the fact that it doesn't have a jump map, it makes the game more realistic.

As much as I was eager to play this game, I've started only today. I'm about to take the cable car to the "other side", but I had to quit for today. I truly like this game even if I'm not an avid HOPA player. I love that I can switch the HOs to Match2 memory game, that the use of the tools I find make sense, that I can use some of them multiple times. I love that the story is dripped through the conversation of the mysterious prisoner and my character, that I have a "thinking board" to piece together the evidence I find, for me (since I play this game on Steam) the earned trading cards feature is a bonus, too. The elusive objects and ethereal butterflies a bit of a stretch for me, but I can see that they can add value to some players. The story is a bit flat for me, but the way it is delivered is very enjoyable. Great little game - I may even going to finish this one...lol.

Finished. Really good game. This is a good example of why everyone keeps replaying their old games. It's been so long since I've played this series but I remember this one because I played it several times. Great story and game-play that kept me interested until the end. So many times in the newer games I lose track of the story due to boredom and just try to click my way to the end or move on to another game because it looks more promising. Not so with this one.
Our next game looks good too - so pretty. Looking forward to it.

Our next game looks good too - so pretty. Looking forward to it. I just said that same thing on today's Review! "We don't want "shiny" we just want a game that challenges us a bit, makes us have to think about what to do next, a game that isn't cloned over & over...just like the games that were created when Domini first jumped into the BF pond! What happened to your pride Domini? Why can't you break the mold to create something better than the 2.5 average rating games you keep offering? We prefer quality over quantity...have you read any of your reviews? How many reviewers have to say they gave up on your games and will just go replay an older game...that say's it ALL!"
