Hi all! I haven't posted much lately, last week has been very busy.
The Voodoo-lecture on Day 3 is one of my favorite scenes of the game. During my first playthrough, the first thing I remember doing was checking out Gabriel's recorder to see if the part of the lecture Gabriel slept through was on it... To only hear his snoring was disappointing, but at least I got to talk to Hartridge after that. :) Quote:

Finished day 4 and 5, and now the game is starting to get really interesting.
Not only do so many things happen, the athmosphere also clearly thickens. I totally agree with Andrea, who words it pefectly: Quote:
Spoiler: For those people who know my preferences in games, it comes to no surprise that day 5 is a favorite day Spoiler: I did notice something odd, something bug-ish, which is in fact a spoiler for a later part in the game: Spoiler: Other than that, great part to play with lights turned off and one candle burning. |
Thanks for the welcome XD
I had a lot of free time this week-end so i managed to catch up with you and finish day 5 XD. Here's my thought about this two days. Day 4: Short but sweet! The atmosphere turns really creepy from here. I love the creepy guy who watches the shop. Spoiler: Day 5: This is not one of my favourite days. I think the pacing could have been better.

Spoiler: I saved my game at the beginning of day 6. How cool is the start of that day? Spoiler: Looking forward to day 6 :) |
So much for Day 4 being the shortest - I can't get the day to end for some reason. I've constantly gone back and forth, checking to see if I've missed anything/done everything, but the day just won't end. :crazy: I've done all the required tasks for this day, I have a score of 163 points, and I asked Grace to do research
Spoiler:But... nothing. Very odd. |
Too many comments to make quotes on! Gah! But probably because Day 4 is so great.
I completely agree with Andrea on Crash - such a great moment of the game. I remember the first time I played the game, despite enjoying it to this stage, was just completely drawn into it after this scene. Probably one of the greatest adventure game scenes, period. And the beginning of Day 6? I know we're not there yet but, in response to TheWorld's post, it truly scared the crap out of me (particularly in light of Crash in Day 4). I didn't understand why Gabriel still seemed so casual... |
Ended day 5 with 185 points. I think days 4 & 5 took me less than an hour to complete.
I noticed that narrator spoiler about the drummers as well, and thought I'd missed something. Faulty link, probably. I've always wondered about Crash. Spoiler:Good voice actor, though. I think he had fun with the role. About the fortune teller, I don't quite remember where I read it, but there's a theory that Spoiler:Perhaps this was mentioned in the book? Then Gabe's visit to the museum. I've always had a problem with that scene. I just can't believe that Spoiler: |
Finished days 4/5.
I have to say I agree with what's been said above about day 4. On the first 3 days the "voodoo murders" seem a bit unreal in the game and it almost feels like a hobby for Gabriel, or at least an interesting and impersonal case for this new book. However, on day 4, suddenly it becomes personal and very much in the present. As mentioned above this has a big effect on Gabriel and the whole tone of the game changes beautifully with this, drawing us ever in and on... The thing I must add is that I LOVE the very start of day 4, when Gabriel comes into the shop and Grace isn't talking to him, this is so well written and I enjoyed it greatly! Personally I like day 5 a lot. After Crash's death on day 4 it looks like we're back to normal on day 5 with "new leads in the morning" from Grace and Hartridge. However, when Gabriel discovers Hartridge dead and is attacked by the museum snake we see that these murders are not just something which Gabriel is investigating, but are impinging on his life. Previously it was him interested in them, but now they are interested in him and they are powerful and do not take kindly to people meddling with them! Mosely is taken off the case and Gabriel now has some clear warnings to stay away! I also really enjoyed convincing Mosely to re-open the case, this was a great part of the game. So often puzzles like this in adventure games are illogical and you have to make great mental leaps (basically guess!) to make it work at all. However, here the reasoning is clear and logical and based largely on stuff you have uncovered in the investigation and understand, rather than a random "clue" that you don't (I'm looking at you Frogwares' Sherlock Holmes games!). Another one of the things I love about this game is how much more I get drawn into it as each day progresses and the story deepens. Bring on day 6! |
Something else that bothers me about the museum visit. Why would Gabriel go there in the first place? He's already visited it, examined everything, talked to Dr. John. I guess it's only to discuss the new topics Crash has given? I remember from my very first playthrough I was completely stuck on Day 5 because I had no idea what to do next, until I randomly clicked the museum icon and the scene occurred, much to my surprise.

Yeah that's a great puzzle and i've really enjoyed it. This is one of the things i love the most of the gabriel knight games. The puzzles are (almost :D ) always logical and part of the story while in some other games puzzles are just there to provide a challenge for the player. |

As for the spoiler: Spoiler: |
Okay, it looks like that action was what I had forgetten to do. So now I'm on Day 5 at last. I think the beginning of Day 5 is the ideal time to read the comic if anyone has it.

While it's true that Gabriel in the game reads the diary on Day 5, and Gazzoid is certainly right about it being a good moment to read it, I usually prefer post-poning the reading until Day 6, just like in the novel.
