Adventure Gamers - Forums

I played about an hour or so yesterday.

I don’t know if it is a general problem, but I haven’t received chapter 3 yet!

I was expecting it would automatically download chapter 3 when I start the game, like it did with chapter 2, but - nada - nothing happens.

I have written to Nordic Games where I bought it, so hopefully they will contact me soon.

Thx - I will give it a try.

I downloaded part 3, but I can’t bring myself to start it. I can’t seem to find any feedback on the net either… has everybody given up on this game?

Apart from the gamebreaking bug I encountered in episode 1 and the somewhat limited responses and interaction possibilities, I rather enjoyed the first two parts of this game, one of the more engaging adventures in a while, though the second episode does not keep up the momentum set by the first. For a translated European game, the voice acting is surprisingly good. I’ve yet to begin the third chapter, gotta finish Primordia first, which I’m playing now. According to reviews I’ve read, the third part brings it back up a notch, whereas the second part was a little too short and lacking in puzzles.

I have to agree about the abrupt endings of the first two chapters. Surely, this could’ve been handled better. It’s almost like ending a movie in mid-sentence. If there’s any episodic adventure where I’d recommend waiting till all chapters are released before playing, this is it.

Finished it. I wonder what it will be like to play as one continous game, although you will probably have to load it as 3 episodes unless they patch it together somehow.

The last episode wrapped everything up including the obvious “twist” that most people will see coming.

It once again puts you on the boat and in the museum, but from new points of view. You start as a new character and then switch back to the one from the end of episode 2.

Overall I think it’s a reasonably decent game with a great soundtrack, but it’s mainly the good vibe from the first episode that carried it through because I think it lost focus towards the end and the ending came suddenly.

Ep 3 was buggy for me with a few graphical glitches, one of which required a reboot.

But overall it gave me about 14 hours of gameplay, but that may have included me restarting episode one and playing through it again.

I agree, the soundtrack is great, and using a live orchestra increases the quality immeasurably. I really like Benny Oschmann, he’s an incredibly talented composer, but in my opinion, theres not nearly enough recorded music for the game. Unless I’m mistaken, there’s only about one hour of music composed for all three episodes, so you’ll hear the same scores repeating over and over again. As someone with an uncontrollable need to analyze music, I became tired of the repetition allready in the first chapter where the entire soundtrack is played several times, then the second chapter comes, and it’s the exact same music all over again in all scenes.

I guess, as usual, it comes down to a limited budget, and we should probably be happy they actually went with a live orchestra, which is quite rare in adventure games.
