stusue, I would love to give you feedback on the new Mystery of Unicorn castle game but I am going to be realistic that I probably won't get to it for awhile. I am incredibly horrible at playing games in a timely manner considering I just finished Nightmares From the Deep Sirens Call CE and that came out ages ago. I also realized I have the first Riddles of Fate game unplayed AND a bunch of other games I can't even install because I don't have the room on my computer. But when I get to it, I'll let you know  The demo was so original that I felt like supporting them since they have only released a handful of games. I even tried their game The Book Of Desires again but the cursor is wonky in that game too!~ Glad Beastmaster had no flaws.

Hi, Meg, you young 'un, you!    Actually, I'm not in any of your categories, so I'm another type of person whom you've branched out to without even knowing it! 

And np about the Mystery of Unicorn Castle: Beastmasters CE, I'll just see which one comes first - a BOGOF or the SE.
 

I have finished Witches´Legacy: Hunter and Hunted CE. I liked it very much!
I like their graphics (Elefuns) and the HOS and Puzzles are fun and the puzzles are not too hard for my poor brain , but some of them require a lot of steps. It was fun to look for the collectibles.
I don´t regret buying the CE 

I also finished Farm Mystery: The Happy Orchard Nightmare(Zylom) . It was an OK game for free but it was very short.

Stuesue, I also loved League of Light 

Thanks stusue.  Another game I own (LEAGUE OF LIGHT) that I'll be looking forward to playing!  And i have the CE. 

meg -- Yikes!  I didn't think you were that young. lol  I just turned 67

Woohoo, I just redeemed my monthly GCC from GH.  I demoed today's new game and then couldn't hit the Buy button quick enough!  It's a turn-based battle M3 that requires real strategy.  Do you make one of the attack matches or one of the defence matches?    Do you make one of the matches to build up one of the powerups?    Or do you match diamonds so that you can buy more powerful attack and defence matches?    What's happening to your opponent?  Is he in defence mode so it's better not to make attack matches as they won't damage him, or have you frozen him so you should attack while he can't defend himself? 

It's called Quest of the Sorceress and I hope it gets to BFG quickly for any of you who like that sort of fun and different M3 game. 
 

I loved the two Puzzle Quest games and this one sounds similar, I'll have to check it out.  I like the battle M3s
 

Wendy, don't waste your money on this game.  I've actually - for the very first time - just sent a request to CS to get a refund (with GH you get 7 days to return a game for a full refund if you're not satisfied with it).  The game itself is fun, and the last level is a doozy, but the game is way, way, way too short to actually spend money on it. 

I finally - after about 100 attemps (okay, a slight exaggeration ) won a super difficult battle and then ... The End!  I couldn't believe it and I was like, "That's it?  That's all there is?"  I was NOT happy!    I have no idea how long it actually was but I'd say less than 2 hours - and I think WAY less than 2 hours!  Like not much over an hour! 

As a free FunPass game it's great and I'd recommend it without hesitation.  But to purchase?  No way, it's just way too short to actually buy.   
 

And super YAY, I just finished Esoterica: Hollow Earth.  Boy, am I glad it's finally over!    I don't know why I didn't like it but I think it was just a whole lot of little irritants that added up to a game that didn't grab me and that I forced myself to finish.  I was just going through the motions, hitting the Hint button more and more frequently as the game progressed, and didn't even care about the story at all.  But, as I'd started it, I was determined to finish it! 

First off, I didn't like the graphics and I really don't like Art Deco.  Then I didn't like the music.  And a few items in the HOSs were mislabelled and even more were really hard to pick up - sometimes I had to click 4 or 5 times until it registered and I got the item. 

There were lots of unique minigames, some of which were super easy but a lot were harder and I had no idea what to do!  The instructions left a LOT to be desired!    Sometimes you're only told the goal of the minigame, with no instructions at all of how to play it.  It's just a question of trial and error, hoping you work out what to do.  And, as I wasn't having any fun playing it, I had zero patience so I went to the forums and found out from there how to play.  And sometimes, as other people have said, you finish something that looked 100% correct according to the instructions but it never registers.  Thank heavens for the Skip button!   

However, a lot of people loved it!  I'm just glad it wasn't one of the games I'd actually paid for. 

ETA :

I just discovered another little irritant in the game!  During the game you collect 20 cards that give you information about the story or objects you come across - no new info but it was nice to be able to go back and read about what you'd come across and had maybe forgotten about.  Well, the game just finishes when you least expect it and so I didn't have time to see if I'd even found all 20 cards, let alone go back and read the ones I'd collected since the last time I'd read them. 

So, I just tried to go back into the game to read them and a message asked me if I really wanted to start a new game because all my progress would be lost.  So there's no way to go back and read any cards you hadn't already read and, as it doesn't tell you how many you've collected as you collect them, unless you check after each one you won't know if you've collected them all or not!  And, why would you want to not start again to keep all your progress when you've already finished and you can't go back to check anything, anyway?    That just doesn't make any sense to me. 

But I've just remembered one interesting thing in the game ... you play as 3 different characters.  After you've played the first character, finding everything and doing everything you need to do to start your adventure, you then go back in time and play as the character who'd hidden everything that the first character had had to find, and you have to go and hide everything and get everything ready for the first character to do.  The only problem was that I played the first character last night and then the second character this morning, so do you think I could remember where anything was supposed to go or everything that I had to do?
