The demo of this new Carol Reed game is out since yesterday. I played it today. It’s short but I’m in love already Smile. I adore these games. Although Carol has to solve some gruesome cases the atmosphere in the games is always tranquil, the weather is always beautiful and the music mesmerizing. I hope we don’t have to wait too long for the new game to come out.

Sweet—I love these games! The pictures looks better than ever!


From the website it looks like they are trying to release the game at the end of this month? I’m guessing if they don’t meet that date then it will be released soon thereafter. I’m stoked that it will be out so soon and I can’t wait to play!

I’ll never get it. For me, they’re in the same class as Nancy Drew.
And Nancy Drew is better…

To each their own Fien. I played some demos of ND games but IMO the CR games are quite different. Maybe not in terms of length and difficulty but certainly qua atmosphere.

I’ve just finished it and will buy it, as always.  The game play is simple but the chance to visit a place I will likely never see is so aluring.

There’s a delightful place to explore at one location.  I’m in the States, where such structures would have been declared dangerous and torn down immediately for safety’s sake—-more’s the pity—-even on private property.

I agree about the atmosphere. I love the real-life pics.

The atmosphere is everything with these type of games. It’s why CR feels like a breeze of fresh mountain air and ND feels like a holiday in a damp, stuffy closet.

I won’t get it either. I tried the demo and wasn’t too impressed, but, mostly because I detest first person games. and it seemed so lonely!  at least with Nancy Drew there is talking.  But, I’m sure there are lots of people that enjoy these types of games; they just aren’t for me.

You could have played some chess, or learned Romanian, or donated a kidney, or… instead.
Or you could have opened a couple of (hundreds of) new threads (just for fun), like a person I know .

I don’t agree with you (meaning I don’t think ND games are that bad), but I like the metaphor/simile.

I think that the main difference between ND games and CR games is that when you play a ND game you have a feeling Nancy Drew is investigating something, while in a CR game you have a feeling YOU are investigating something. At least I feel that way.

There’s talking in CR games too.
Not much, but there is.

You may be right about that. I sometimes feel it could give a even stronger feeling that I’m investigating without Carol’s voice telling us about her summer and the characters saying “Hi Carol!” to me all the time;

Maybe in the CR games you are Carol, while in the ND games you play Nancy.

Coincidence? CCS is almost out and now I read in the newspaper that since last week (when the demo came out) the amount of new tips the police gets about the murder of Olof Palme has increased tremendously. The police says that some tips are interesting and will be pursued. “Every time when a new book or film comes out, we get new tips,” a spokesperson of the police says. The research into the murder got a new impulse when ‘superdetective’ Dag Andersson became supervisor.
I think it’s clear that ‘Dag Andersson’ is a pseudonym of Carol Reed and that the case will be solved soon. Wink
