Mystery Manor Adventure Forum

I guess the cyberpunk theme was enough to bump it up to a three. Plus, if you like that kind of indsutrial funk music, it might be a bonus for the player. In my case, it just made me want to turn off the computer.

Most of my JA+ reviews are now posted here in the Conservatory.

Most probably yes.

No, I didn't know that. That would be a big help, as that was the toughest dexterity puzzle of the game. Hell, it's the toughest puzzle of the game period.

There is no jumping. However, there are other timing/dexterity tests. One is fairly easy, one is of middling difficulty until you have failed it a couple of times and figured out the timing, and one is damn tough.

It's up in the Conservatory.

Why not hit JA+ and check out my review of the newest L&O game?

Only recent update is that I included mention of Lights Out in the Dark Fall entry.

Please bear in mind that the entire game was created by one man, indie developer Cos Russo. He built the entire game by himself (art, music, sound, story, puzzles, et al) over the course of 5 years. I specifically mentioned this several times in the review. However, in truth, it is irrelevant. Alid...

I wasn't saying that the bird calls weren't always in the same spots. (Though, in re-reading, I can see how it might seem that I was saying that.) I was saying that they weren't always triggered every time you passed over the "special spots" in the same manner. For instance, if you walk in...

Thanks for the interesting review BJ. I will also be giving Alida a shot but not for awhile. Playing Aura right now and they sound too much alike and with Halloween coming up, I definitely play the scary. I have Lights Out and Midnight Nowhere :wink: lined up. Not sure if either of those qualifies ...
