I have never been unable to go to MPC and find the download of the day by clicking on the link posted here from their site. I couldn't find that link from their site here today, obviously, for good reason and I can't find the program anywhere on their site. I do this because I have been unable to get through the security feature which by BTW, I don't in any way object to. In spite of Whiterabbit kindly emailing me much significant information some time ago as to how to do this, I guess my (pea brain) :-) still can't figure it out. I am of course pretty limited in what I can get from this site if it ever returns to other offerings besides from MPC. Any thoughts?

Good luck today Whiterabbit with all of your family things today. I hope everything goes well.

Regards.

Its free, stop complaining about how bad the game is. Constructive criticism is one thing, complaining about how the game does not meet your expectations of a hidden object game for an advanced user is another! This would be a great game for novice user like my daughter .

wow, never played a game that points to where all the hidden objects are hidden, or where to go next. It can't seem to let us figure any of it out for ourselves?
I realized I used the normal mode, but I usually do, but that doesn't mean it plays the game for you.
I'm uninstalling

If you have nothing to do today and you’re looking for something to do – then this game is an option.

There are two modes, normal and expert. Normal mode gives you hints and without them you’d be thoroughly lost as there is no map and no logical progression – because of course you’d go look for the keys in the bathroom, who wouldn’t?

It’s a story straight out of the dark ages – damsel in distress looking for a rich hero. (With a messy hairstyle that was only slightly improved after combing it – if you’re going to have a period piece, at least get the hairstyle right.) It continues with her trying to save the family and I’m sure she’ll end up the hero but … Unfortunately, a single line at the start of a story put me right off wanting to play the game. The story bits were boring and predictable – “Hello, how are you, I’m so and so, I’m happy to meet you ….” It’s also confused, your guest is given chores by the housekeeper who in the next scene is in the kitchen baking. If you want a period piece- then you should stick to the rank and order that was present at the time.

The whole game is just time wasting – you must do things like pick up a letter, put it in your inventory, take it from your inventory, put it on the table.

As far as I played it had one mini game that was actually a mini game – where you have to put keys on the right slot – the rest was just telling you to complete actions.

In some cases, I just followed the sparkle and found the object I was looking for – because it was the only object there that was clickable, so you’d always find it.

You spend a lot of time walking through the rooms because there is no map (as far as I played). And then you’re sent to the kitchen, from the bedroom, to look for a quill and paper to write a letter … I gave up.

The hidden object scenes are text based so you’d need a reasonable command of English to play this game. In some of the scenes there’s a slight haze over the picture that I didn’t like. I did find the hidden object scenes to be well made with things blended into the scene and if you can suffer through the rest – these scenes are worth playing.

Thanks! Love HOG/Adventure games!
