One thing I can say is that the 3D movement is quite 'spinny' with the mouse, and to get a hot spot, you need to approach close enough to get the icon. So there is a lot of turning movement, and back and forth. If you are the type that gets bothered by this kind of motion, beware.

I am just playing a Game named "Haunting At Cliffhouse", don`t know if it is known here. :roll:
I bought the Game yesterday on Steam.
I like the Game very much so far, especially the Sound and the Voices.

Someday I hope to get the other Game named "Intigue At Oakhaven Plantation" :)

Welcome to Mystery Manor!

Your English is just fine! For me, I've grown use to my English speaking German family who live in Schweinfurt.

As Haunting at Cliffhouse is a game developed by the Mistress of Mystery Manor, Ghostlady, we are indeed familiar with it!

Hi Temujun and welcome to Mystery Manor.
I’ll touch base with you about Oakhaven when I get off work. In the meantime, enjoy Cliffhouse. :)

Thank you! :)
Schweinfurt is a nice Town with medievial Marketplace in the Middle of Germany.

I live in Bremerhaven, which is on the german Northcoast.

What I really love most in "Haunting Of Cliffhouse" is the Voice of the Main Actor Woman,
the Woman who lost her husband and is now walking around and solving puzzles.
Her Voice is really enjoyable and I like listening to her. Is it the Voice of the Ghostlady?

Yes, I have pictures of the Rathouse and exchanged money there. I have have also been to the Medieval Marketplace. The best bratwurst I've ever had was in a small shop on a side street!

I heard from a reliable source that you like "A Vampyre Story" much. Me too.
So I want to show you this two Figures, which I bought a few weeks ago on Ebay.
Don`t know, if you have seen them before or if you perhaps own them too.

(I hope, this is the right Thread to show it. If not, feel free to move it.)

It is sure is the right place if we are discussing adventure games! And your reliable source is correct - Mona and Froderick! I just finished a replay of A Vampyre Story which I downloaded from GOG. I can't play my disk version because it has a particular DRM on it that Windows 10 doesn't allow. I think the original developers got their rights to the game back. I sure hope we see a sequel... the story was left hanging!

I played my Disc Version of "A Vampyre Story" a few weeks ago on Windows 7 and it runs very good.
And I think, we have only seen 30% of the Game, it should be a Trilogy.

This was the End-Screen:

I am afraid, we will never see Mona and Froderick again. :sad:

What great figurines, Temujin! How fun. I wanted to say that your username is such a good choice. Temujin is a fun and memorable game. I can kick myself for giving it away. I may have to go search on EBAY for that one.

Also, the voice acting for Sarah is not the Ghostlady. She was a voice actor that I found on a forum of people looking to do this type of work for their career. She was really good and fit the part well.
