i played it once,, forgot the name

Your a young man from russia i think,, you wake up on an island in this pod thing. There are other people on the island in other pods, and you slightly have the idea that you are dead.

game came out 2005-2008,, somewhere in there


the game is for my aunt, she loves adventure games,, her pc can only play not hardware demanding games, she mostly plays the nancy drew ones,, however, she's paid me to build her a new gaming pc, so i'm trying to find some new games she might like

i'm going to let her borrow my lost crown game, she played the jack the ripper one and loved it

my aunt loves dark, serial killer/ghost type games, and loves an older setting,
london 18,19th century,,, the perfect setting for any crime

-Black Mirror

from the same developer.

[locqlynn]

thanks!

was next life a pretty good game? i just played it for about an hour


also i'm thinking of buying still life and the post mortem games for 19.99

that a pretty good deal?

[tobacos]

i find Next Life is pretty good game though it takes a low rate review at the AGs.
and as for the deal its pretty good one too.

Ah yes, FMV games or games with FMV will always hold a special place in my heart. Too bad most of them were atrocious... Johnny Mnemonic I'm looking at you.

You can try Casebook - Episode One, which I think it's a good game, with great FMV. As for the latter part of your sentence, I'm still mourning the loss of Sierra, and as I usually say: Sierra is dead, Long Live Sierra!

Fate By Numbers is definitely worth a play. Since it's a free, homebrewed game, you'd be crazy not to play it if you're looking for decent FMV.

[locqlynn]

aww thanks

i'm going to get the games you people have named so far

i started playing adventure games when i got my pc back in 93, it was my dads i was 13 at the time

our cdrom was $400 i think, and came with kings quest 6, and the 7th guest.

my favorite game of all time would be phantasmagoria i'd say, enjoyed the dark Gothic story, but best of all,i got it for Christmas in 95 and played it with my mother for hours and hours eating stale popcorn from one of those Christmas popcorn tins. We would take 2 hour shifts controlling the mouse

just thought i'd share that story happy times
