I finished Phantasmat: The Endless Night Collector's Edition.

It took longer than I had thought because real life got in the way  (dentist, and have been rearranging furniture).   I liked this one better than ERS's sequel and in some respects it was better than the first one.  There was a good mixture of hidden object scenes (lists, silhouettes, progressive silhouettes, find x of, morphs) and making the collectibles stylized eyes was a nice homage to the developers of the first game.

I didn't think the storyline was a strong as the first Phantasmat, mostly likely because there moe more characters in this one and consequently they weren't as well developed.  Ending took me by surprise.

Going to play Nightmares from the Deep: Davy Jones Collector's Edition next.

I think tomorrow's CE will be the next installment in the Dark Parables series.  Last one I bought was Jack and the Sky Kingdom,  but I thought the series went off track with the Red Riding Hood Sisters.

From what I've seen of the screen shots, the new one loks much more like the first two in the series.

I am glad I got Cadenza: The Kiss of Death with a pcc on Monday.  Sounds like it is as good as the first one.

I have yet to play Phantasmat: The Endless Night.  I got this game with my free CE coupon that BFG was giving out.  Good to hear that Eipix did a good job on it since they are doing the next Phantasmat game too.  Phantasmat: The Dread of Oakville.  I simply adore Codeminion's version and think it is hard to top.

I tried Deadly Puzzles: Toymaker on my tablet.  It is not a true HOPA, but even still it was still not much fun playing while you had to move the screen around with your finger and items very small.  I like the game though so I bought it for the PC when it came up for a Daily Deal.

I am playing Grim Facade: Sinister Obsession.  It is a very linear game with a smooth gameplay and the puzzles are on the easy side so I think it is what I need right now to stick with it until the end.

I have been weeding and mulching my front.  It feels good to get it done.  The weather turned cold on us too.  87 on Monday and 47 yesterday with a frost advisory Wednesday night.  Today a slightly warmer.

I'm playing Sable Maze:Sullivan River.  I'm  not really liking it.  Everything is grey.  The HOs are a little hard to find stuff in because of the monotone.  They're good in a wAY, like "horn" was on the list as something in sight, and "unicorn" as something that needed action, so you find the horn and put in on the unicorn, but the colors are just so dull it makes the game seem dull to me.  The few puzzles have been very easy,  I'll need something bright after this one.

I have a couple Myths games but still haven't played any.  Maybe next game, lol.
I finished Sable Maze Sullivan River, put it on my "Don't bother to play again" list.  It got good reviews but I didn't care for it.
I started 9: The Dark Side of Notre Dame.  It has a map that tells you where there are things to be done and the hint tells you exactly where to go and what to do, nice to have the two different ways to get a hint.  The story is kinda blah but it had a really cool scene I had to stop and tell you all about.  A dog was in my way and I found a hot dog and took it to him.  If you moved the cursor around with the hot dog on the end of it the dog would move his head to keep looking at the hot dog, right, left, right, left.  Made me chuckle, I teased him for a couple minutes with that hot dog before I finally gave it to him.  Actually, I tossed it into the other scene and he took off after it.  Really cute how they did it.  I also did a HO scene where I had to open a cabinet where I found a bullet for a gun that was in there so I could shoot off the lock of the cabinet above it, where I had to open something to find a beetle.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that there will be no more HOPAs from BoomZap as well.  No Otherworld: Winter.
