Mystery Manor Adventure Forum

Thanks, Drac and Boobie! Drac, the game certainly wasn't full length - both in length and content it felt like the second half of a game. My guess would be that the publisher needed something to release sooner than the full game could be completed so they chopped it in half. If it helps, the previou...

Here is the link to the Mystery Manor official review page: http://mysterymanor.net/reviewdracula5.htm Dracula 5: The Blood Legacy -- A review. To recap: http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q195/Phlebas2K/1-1371548675.jpg Ellen Cross, art restorer with rare blood disease. Moderately intrepid. Protago...

I know Jeff Vogel's open-ended, intricately written retro RPGs have some fans around here, so I thought you might like to know: To celebrate Spiderweb Software's 20th birthday, there's a bundle of 15 of their/his games available on a pay-what-you-want deal for this week's Humble Weekly Sale. That's ...

Exciting news about Avellone - that means he's working on both of the Kickstarted Torment-ish games (Project Eternity, from Obsidian, came first and also looks very promising). He'll be a busy chap! You may have noticed I didn't manage to get round to surveying current projects before going on holid...

There are a few others, though those two are the biggest and most reputable. It's worth noting that indiegogo uses a slightly different model to Kickstarter - with Kickstarter no money goes through unless the target is reached, so that you have a bit more confidence that the project has enough backi...

Rock Paper Shotgun do a weekly roundup of Kickstarter/indiegogo projects they deem interesting (so the focus is PC games rather than specifically adventure/RPG, but well worth a look): http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/tag/kickstarter-katchup/ I'll see if I can get a summary together in the next few d...

I've backed - umm - let's just say more than 4 games. There's quite a sharp divide on Kickstarter between the projects to revive a revered classic (Torment, Wasteland 2, Dreamfall Chapters) and the ones looking to do something exciting and new (Pulse, Homesick, Lilly Looking Through) - both can bene...

Thanks Drac! I'd say about 10 hours, but I did look at the walkthrough a couple of times to keep things moving.

ASA: A Space Adventure -- A review. A vision: adrift in space, a red-suited figure curls in a foetal position around a cube of some dark material. A low oxygen warning flashes. Life support failing. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Fade to black. I awaken. Was that myself I could see before? Where am ...

Interesting review - I don't think I'd heard of this game and it sounds rather my cup of tea!

I thought some of you might be interested in this Kickstarter project - not my usual adventure kind of thing but a bit of an oddity (ok, oddities are my other usual kind of thing). Moon Intern: A pixelly platform/puzzle/RPG epic about doing odd jobs in space! But that description doesn't really cove...

Since there's been a lot of mention of Orkney elsewhere in the Manor, I thought people might be interested in a game set there: Devil Whiskey, an old-school tile-based first-person RPG is basically a remake of the original Bard's Tale, set on Orkney in the time of Atlantis. For the next couple of da...

I know there are a number of Spiderweb fans around here, so thought you might be interested to know that Avadon:The Black Fortress is currently available as part of the latest Humble Bundle. That means it's pay-what-you-want, DRM-free, you get it for PC, Mac, Linux and Android tablet in one fell swo...

Happy to help if I can - I haven't played that much of the game yet, though!

OK, I've just tried it - is it the jump over the river near the waterfall? Here's how you do it: First get lined up and run towards the edge. As you get to the edge, tap A to jump (not letting go of the arrow key you were using for running - keep that held down!). As you reach the highest point of t...
