Thanks pennmom !! Ah, video explained the goal (stop the flow of water to the outlets on the side, with valves stopping the flow & with nodes without valves allowing water to pass through - so the exact opposite of what I'd been trying unsuccessfully to do!). And, for the slower ones among us (ie, ME!!) it also nicely shows the route the water takes when the valves are correctly placed, to make it even easier to see. Interestingly enough, too, it also showed that a couple valves "turn" after the right configuration is set, so 2 different valves had the upright settings for braces...purely random based on which valve you place in each spot (which doesnt matter even though they are different sizes!). And for why my attempt to just copy your solution did not work? Duh, follow the directions dummy! I put one of the valves on the wrong node...showing just how long (ie, short) my transient memory is from looking at the solution to copying it into my puzzle. Oh well, of all the things I ever lost, I miss my mind the most! :-( |

 Well, finally finished & really sorry to have it end! Thanks, groupplay  to finally getting me to play this hidden gem that has been hiding in my inventory forever! I had to cheat on 2 of the puzzles (the multicolor circle & the valve problem), but got through all of it otherwise (with a group kick forward here & there!). I found the "end" too underwhelming. Would have preferred a final puzzle of "find the key to unlock the chest at the foot of the first character shown", and when you open it, the credits rolled. Do you suppose that the ONLY folks who worked on it were the 2 guys who show on the "info" panel under Options? Most other games take far more people and are significantly poorer enjoyment-wise than The Tiny Bang Story. Off to demo Through Abandoned to see if I agree with pennmom 's 3-star rating or if we find it much more fun now that we are "older & wiser"!  |

Dear all finished the game, and I loved it, except fthe Arcada games!  soo much for the fun game I never would have played without you all, and for the spoilers, this really helped! Please let me know, when there will be a group play again! By the way to know the game „the room“ www.fireproofgames.com/games/the-room they are also really fun, but unfortunately you can not get them on Bigfish! I think they are more for tablets?! But they are really fun as well! ( but completely different to tiny bang story) cheerio I‘v done it  |

The Room plays fine on a PC, is available from Steam & is often on sale. You are right - it is fun and I definitely spend far more time being perplexed at it than making real progress! Have only solved a few of its puzzles so far & go back to it each time I get to feeling brave! CONGRATS on finishing The Tiny Bang Story! |

joybelle, as far as I know its just 1 game with 4 episodes Description Charlaine Harris: Dying For Daylight is a single player adventure game that combines both point and click puzzle solving with hidden object elements. The story is set in a world where vampires have 'come out' and live openly in the world and game consists of four episodes: Episode 1 – Vampire Wars Episode 2 – The Wizard in the Basement Episode 3 – The Glutton of Gilborne Episode 4 – Inked It starts in New Orleans where a vampire crashes a wedding party in broad daylight. This causes a sensation in certain circles for the only way a vampire can exist in daylight is if they have the mythical sun potion. Dahlia is tasked by one of her elders to investigate and retrieve the potion so off she goes to New Orleans only to find that she's not the only one interested. Other vampires are already on the trail and the vampire wars have begun. The game is played entirely with the mouse and automatically saves the players progress. As the player moves through the game and solves puzzles they collect trophies and achievement cards. Though the vampire wars feature in the storyline there is no fighting involved at all, this is an adventure / puzzle game through and through. It has a built in hint function that, like similar games of this type, needs time to recharge after it has been used.

What can I say, part of my no-doubt misspent life: I've played most of these. Here are the comments I wrote either when I demoed and/or played them for real:
Nick Chase: The Detective Story: Puzzles have no hints, often no clear indication of what to do. Skipping does not show solution.(bought but have not played fully)
Charlaine Harris: Dying for Daylight: Not terribly hard but quirky sense of humor for a vampire game; too much talking for my tastes but Hos are hard, few puzzles found so far are not difficult, but have been different. Not much of a challenge, but buy if in whimsical mood (got for free from Game Giveaway of the Day but have not played)
Dreamscapes: Nightmare's Heir: Excellent game; really enjoy this series; found all but <4 beholders; game constantly abended, sometimes due to get thread context bug but also for a number of other causes including access violations. Still love the series!!(bought & played)
Empress of the Deep: The Darkest Secret : Good (what can I say - I must not have felt very chatty at the time!) (bought & played)
