Legacy Tales: Mercy of the Gallows
Slow download and a big install, but went smoothly on Win 10 Pro. Know this is late for the party but a busy time.
A HOG from MPC, but I'm going to call this one a movie with a game in it! Nice graphics, but a sometimes distorted gaming experience in a couple sections, although it mostly plays well..as I probably don't need to say at this point, but HOG are not our favs, although this one is pretty fun.
Exquisite detail and a lot of work put in for the different scenes, although some screen changes bog a bit, but are worth the wait.
Does have a nice map which really helps, and a hint system that if you really pay attention to does help.
Definitely check this one out if your into the genre at all!

Loved this game, Pro's: Nice lay out, not too many back tracks. Map allows you to go back into the rooms to collect coins. Nice graphics. Turned off the music but what I heard was themed fine. Hint button worked nicely but no arrows given, you have to read the hint. Cons: not enough game play. I was able to finish within a day. I was hoping for more levels. In all it was a nice way to spend my Saturday. Thank you for the giveaway.

Hi!
The game took very long to downlaod. It opened fairly easy. I had to change the cursor immediately due to a strong drag. The graphics are good and game play so far is easy. One action follows another with a few puzzle games and hidden object games. It is on a par for these games, so far nothing out of the ordinary, but I have not played that long yet. Thank you for another good game and have a great rest of the weekend, Lee

Installed easily for me. Runs well. Interesting graphics.
The puzzles aren't too easy. I appreciate having a map.
Thanks!

Well, I'm running into the same problem as Terri (Comment #12). I have Kaspersky too. So, I always reboot in Safe Mode w/Networking to download & install the game. Then I rebooted in Normal Mode & attempted to play the game. It opened then closed again. So, I went to the Compatibility Tab and set it to Win XP, SP3 with all 3 checkmarks checked. This time, it wouldn't even open and gave me a message about Trojan.Win32.Generic being Malware....and for about a minute or so, it had a "loop" going with that message, but it stopped after awhile.
There was some other game given away about 4 months ago or so - same sort of situation and my computer worked ultra-slowly until I uninstalled that game....then everything was fine. Oh well. Most games are fine from here but just every now & then.... *sigh* Thanks anyway.

Dear MrWR, your kindness is greatly appreciated. Much more than I can say. Kindest Regards, JudiP

I really wanted this game and disabled my Kaspersky, restarted pc, d/loaded game, etc. Kaspersky shows there to be a Trojan, PMD:Trojan, Win32.Generic. It will not allow me to play the game even after I d/loaded the game from My Play City. I have been having such a bad time trying to download games from GOTD for the last 9 Mos. Guess I won't be able to use the site anymore. This makes me sad!

Download and install went fine on both Win 7 & 10. Remembered to turn off Norton for the verification process. Good graphics, story line, scripted commentary. Appreciate the slowly read dialogues and the ability to quickly click through them. Finding coins not easy at first but I caught on quickly. Appreciate the map, the way it is marked up and ability to use it to jump to scenes. When hint is clicked the wording should stay present until clicked again for slower readers. I'd say the way you play the game is quite intuitive, which is a big plus in my estimation; all too often the designers make assumptions about your knowledge of how to play the game and that causes a lot of people to give up on it. In all I'd say this is a top rated game. Kudos to you, WR, for selecting it, MPC for offering it and the designers and coders who wrote it!

A very nice HOG game! One option it had that I super appreciated was that you could adjust the brightness level! Perhaps my screen is not as bright as many, for certain my eyes aren't as sharp as they were, but all too often Hidden object scenes come down to trying to click on totally black areas in hopes that I'll stumble across a black bat. :( This game I could set so I never had this problem. Kudos to the game producers! If only others would do the same.

Susan Canera,
if you have Problems see anything on Screen, like me, open Controls of your Graphic Card
Look for Desktop Colors and then change Brightness, Contrast, Gamma so that you can see all the things :)
Do NOT SAVE, just go back to Game and play, if it to Bright it hurts after time, believe me ^^
Sorry for bad english, but hope it will help you in other Games you ♥

Using XP SP3 Game graphics and sounds are good. So far, I am only up to getting inside the castle. Game play to this point is fine. Puzzles are fairly easy, but worthwhile doing. Finding the gold coins can be very difficult. It would be nice to have the hint point them out for you, or to have a strategy guide attached that would show their locations when playing in casual mode.

Thanks for the reviews. Given the generally lackluster content the reviews suggest, length of d/l & install issues mentioned by users, and just me being dulled out on HOGs lately, it's a pass. But nice offer.

I have requested an e-mail link to download the game, but it is not arriving. I checked all of the folders, like 'junk' and so on, but still nothing. I did send a message as WR mentioned, to see if they are working on the issue. I guess I will just keep trying through the day. Looks like a beautiful game.

Same thing happened to me. No visible text in game. I tried to reinstall game but it didn't help. Windows 8.1 64bit

Another failed to launch.
- Turned off AVG
- Windows 10 with 64bit. Everything up to date.
Looks like an awesome game though I'll try to get it directly.
Thanks so much for the site.

Hi Anne,
Furter to the simply idotic advice offered by GameGiveawayoftheDay about switching off your security software, if you REALLY want to install the game, reboot into Safe Mode and install it that way.

Hi, Whiterabbit-uk,
I agree with you, sir, that I COULD have expressed my comment in a less sarcastic manner, but I purposely chose not to. The reason being, it IS stupid advice to get people to switch off their security software. It's there for a purpose. It's NOT my fault if Giveawayoftheday.com and Gamegiveawayoftheday.com can't understand that.
Maybe, people should be advised that switching off their security software is AT THEiR OWN risk.

There's no text :( Dunno why, but all the messages that should be there are not displaying at all! I've got XP SP3. Please help!!

Max, my computer language is polish, but the "en.json" file is indeed in the game folder .
Save | Cancel
Oh, forgot to add - changing the language does nothing.
Save | Cancel
umm, like I said, I have windows XP. So that would be... Windows 2000? :/

Worked, thank you!!

lg, the problem is there's no polish translation. Changing language can help, because I changed to English and everything was fine.
Try reinstall game and after that, change language from Polish to English (or other).
Save | Cancel
lg,
Sadly, there's no polish translation included with the install. Yet, game detects your system language and tries to set the same language in-game, which results in no text at all, as the file doesn't exist. But, to display the game correctly, you can rename "en.json" to "pl.json" in Language folder inside main game directory. That won't give you polish translation, obviously, but will allow you to play it normally.
In polish:
W folderze Languages (w katalogu głównym gry) zmień nazwę pliku en.json na pl.json (lub utwórz kopię pliku en.json i dopiero zmień jego nazwę).
