I found this game less creepier than the earlier games. Trilby's Notes or 7 Days a sceptic are still the scariest games in the series.

I would disagree personally, I think only Trilby's Notes comes close in terms of "fear" factor, this game really did give ya the sense of being isolated and alone at times, and especially in some of the later areas it was emphasized moreso.

I love how this this got stuck on the front page so fast.
I've actually never played this series (although I've wanted to)... -------------------- ![]() |

Wow, this game was really really... I don't even know how to explain it, I can't describe it, it's like I'm speechless and my mine is thoughtless >.>
(Spoiler Warning) Really ... speechless ... how the whole thing was connected. It seems the people that have played this game so far, seem to be dissappointed on how it ended, but I think it was all executed very well. The fact that the whole thing is a paradox was simply bone chilling. I am very satisfied on how this game ended. If anyone is stupid enough to request another one, is insane enough to want an even more twisted and complex (and quite confusing in my opinion) plot. I hope Mr. Croshaw will create even more ingenius games! Just not about this. ._. |

It seems that we fear different things eh? In this game I found it just a bit creepy, but in trilby's notes, in some parts I found myself unable to play. QUOTE (Spoiler) I found myself actually laughing when you walk around the old house and the trilbies getting killed by the arrogant man. I found it quite comical.
Who else here thinks Mr.Dacabe is superman, after all, he had sex after only like 3 days after falling down an elevator shaft.. |

I thought it was brill. A fitting end to what I think of as the best freeware adventure game series. Great blend of graphics and sound to create a unique atmosphere using a fairly limited engine.
First post, btw, hello. |

So you can be sure if there's something that can possibly be done with AGS, he can do that and make it scary/in space/both. -------------------- Those of you being liberal-art majors – don’t worry, advanced mathematics were largely omitted from this text in concern for your mental health.

About spoilers, I personally recommend Potatoe's way to hide them in quote in white text. That would be my edit -------------------- |

It was a sidescrolling platform/adventure. I remember I paid for the special edition. Ah here it is: http://www.reloaded.org/download/1213/171/ Harsh user rating. It was a pretty frustrating game though. |

Yeah interestingly enough there have been some comparisons about some of the elements in 1213 game being at yahtzee's forum, heck there is a big topic too about all of the events in this game and different theories of some of the events too, that is pretty interesting to read.
