You've been studying the supernatural phenomenon known as dark dimensions since you were very young, hoping that they will eventually lead you to your missing family, but nothing has prepared you for the danger that awaits you in Phoenix Hill, California.

Vengeful Beauty
In this game, you play as Edward Jones. Your friends, Linda and Carter Cole, work at the Vanderleigh Institute where biological research is conducted, and they've asked you to help find the colleague Tina Warner, who went missing in Oldforester National Park three months ago.
You and you friends set off on bicycles and are soon attacked by purple vines. Linda and Carter are dragged off by these vines, but you are merely thrown down a ravine.
Landing on your rump and back, you moan in pain saying that you think your leg is broken. Luckily, you packed a first aid kit. Oh no, you can't reach it! No problem, you also packed your selfie-stick and you can use that to retrieve the first aid kit.
Now to deal with your leg. First you cut open your jeans to expose your shin. Nasty gash, blood, but no bones sticking through. After cleaning the wound, you spray an analgesic, wind bandages around your leg, splint your leg using tree branches and tape, sew up your jeans (thank goodness you weren't wearing your skinny jeans) and voila! You're good to go!
Go where? Why rock-climbing, of course. Up the sheer face of the ravine. With your leg in a splint.
Once out of the ravine, you wander around until you find Jim Gordon, the Head Forest Ranger, and his Ranger Station complete with helicopter and heliport. After repairing the helicopter, with Jim Gordon piloting the helicopter, you manage to scramble aboard as it's taking off, with your leg still in that splint, just as the purple vines destroy the Ranger Station. The explosion sends debris into the air, damaging the helicopter, and you crash.
No moans and groans about that crash, guess that painkiller is still doing its job, which is good because before you get to the end of this game, you will also repair and then crash a subway train. I don't know why the Vanderleigh Institute is wasting its time studying the flowers that grow from those purple vines, they should be studying YOU and finding out how you can perform all those acts of derring-do with your leg in a splint.
You play as Tina Warner in the bonus chapter. It's a prequel and shows the events which lead up to her disappearance. The bonus chapter ends with the same cut scene that opened the game.
Now about that cut scene. It reveals enough for you to figure out who the bad guy is! Why, developers, why?

I just finished the first one...City of Fog.
Story was good and puzzles were fun to do. No extras in the CE except bonus game & strategy guide which was hard to follow so I didn't use it and, of course, wallpapers etc.
Using the hint button will tell you nothing to do here instead of showing you where you can actually do something.
No map
The journal was really well done. I like a reading a good well done journal.
On to the bonus game next. will update
