Time for a new community playthrough
The Black Mirror from 2003 is 9.99 euros on Steam and GOG (should be the same in dollars).

I didn’t vote for it but may tag along anyway. I’ve played it 2 or 3 times in the past. It’s a game I have a soft spot for, maybe because it came out around the time I had recently rediscovered the adventure game genre. I haven’t played it for many years now though.
The Black Mirror from 2017 was a disappointment, to put it mildly…
Fortunately, I have the three Black Mirror games in Steam (probably I got them at some sale), wating for the right moment to be played. And this CPT is the right moment for the first one.
Currently translating Strangeland into Spanish. Wish me luck, or send me money to my Paypal haha
I’m not sure if we’re waiting for some kind of official ending of the current playthrough (and if we do - please disregard this message), but it seems we can start voting again?To be frank, I don’t even have a game to offer as of now, just wanted to see who wants to offer what and continue playing through games with fellow adventure pals.
I nominate (and will lead) The Case of the Golden Idol. I almost guarantee that fans of Obra Dinn will like this game. You use your little gray cells to play detective, combine the many clues, find out who killed who and why.
PROM, NAPOL, PROM! - The Rise of the Golden Idol
Great suggestion! I vote for The Case of the Golden Idol!
A CPT is the best way to get a game out of the pits of my backlog, and this is one I’m really interested in!

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
You sold me on this game Karlok! I just got original + DLC bundle (both are on sale). I will vote for Golden Idol, and even if the game doesn’t win - I’ll just enjoy this on my own and post it somewhere here.
Voting for CP #78 will continue until midnight GMT on Saturday, May 20.
The Case of the Golden Idol (3) - Karlok (leader), TimovieMan, DCast
These games were nominated for the previous playthrough:
Colossal Cave Adventure (1976)
The Council
Dexter Stardust: Adventures in Outer Space
Dreams in the Witch House
The Epsilon Outcome
Loom
The Lost Crown
Norco
Normality
Syberia 4
Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.
I almost guarantee that fans of Obra Dinn will like this game.
I heard that (thanks!), but can’t take the bait: too much outdoor activities in this time of the year.
Besides, I prefer to play clever games like OD and TCotGI on my own (at my own pace).
BTW, the best part of the year for playing AGs (for me) is from December to February.
It could always be worse, remember that.

I could see why Obra Dinn is so well thought of but as it didn’t really grab me enough to continue with (so far) I wasn’t sure about The Case of the Golden Idol.
Anyway I tried the demo, really liked it & am interested in playing more so please include my vote for The Case of the Golden Idol!
I’d also like to nominate Memento Mori 2.
Voting for CP #78 will continue until midnight GMT on Saturday, May 20.
The Case of the Golden Idol (4) - Karlok (leader), TimovieMan, DCast, Chrissie
Memento Mori 2 (1) - Chrissie

I get that. As you may (or may not) remember, I dropped out of the Obra Dinn CP for the same reason. But I hope you will play TCotGI and post your comments later. Perhaps in December, January or February.
Already 4 potential CPT participants. Looking good.
PROM, NAPOL, PROM! - The Rise of the Golden Idol

Oh yes, yes for sure. I did so in the OD playthrough.
In fact we both posted a lot in that thread after the playthrough had been finished long ago.

I’ll also nominate The Safe Place, a game by the same developer that gave us Little Kite & Repentance.
I’ll offer to lead this game (which is not preachy btw) but does include infuriating adventure gaming fare i.e. ‘inventory combination chains’ where you think you’ve got it but not quite…........you know what I mean!

Please add my vote for The Safe Place.
I bought it after trying the demo because it strongly reminded me of some bleak moments of my childhood.
I haven’t played it yet because it strongly reminded me of some bleak moments of my childhood.
Essentially, I was waiting for the right mood, but I can definitely give it a go as community playthrough with others.
I’d give my vote to Memento Mori 2 as well, but apparently, I only own the first part and the second is $25 on Steam (kinda rare for an older game), and I’m not sure it’s worth it, so I’d rather wait for a sale.
