I've just finished this very good game. One thing would have made it excellent:- a map system to move about by. I got really fed up going miles up and down because I was missing one piece. Another small niggle is a game where if there are 4 screws you have to unscrew 4 times. I feel that game should do them all for me. I particularly liked to games where you had to 'match' items - they needed some lateral thinking. Thank you and keep them coming.

hi I received your feedback with thanks
my operating system is windows 10 x 32 bit and my display was at 1920x1080 I had to drop my screen resolution to 1280 x 1024 just to play the game.
perhaps we could suggest to auto adjust the screen resolution when starting to play the game and when we are not playing the game the screen resolution will return to our default settings

Hi,
It took ahwile to downloaded and opened easily. Game play is smooth after taking off the custom cursor.
You move around the various scenes finding items needed to move forward in the game. A lot of back and forth,
but a nice game.
Hope had nice Mother's day weekend!

Works fine on my Windows 7 box. I like the graphics and the story line so far.
Thanks!

I can't find where it installed on my computer. Any suggestions?

Steve C., One of the first screens, there is a question in which map it should be installed.
c:\program files\The Great Unknown Houdini's Castle
and at the end some short-cuts will be placed on the desktop

marie vela, If in the past it went fine, then there is hope.
Maybe clean the map %temp%, because there can be leftovers from other installations.
To open the temp-map, press Winkey+R and type in %temp%
And most of the time yo can delete all the files.
You will get warning's, ignore them.
And after deleteting maybe a restart of Windows will also help.
Or let ccleaner run and clean-up Windows.

Good game! I'm using Windows 7, Home Edition, 64-bit. I didn't have to make any adjustments to screen resolution or anything. I played until I got stuck. The Help worked just fine for a couple of things but now, It's not helping me know where on Earth I need to go to next! But, it's a good game, keeps me thinking; and I like how one thing intuitively leads to another but how I need to do this or that before getting this thing to have to interact with that thing over there, etc. I accessed the Strategy Guide and the Cinema Room isn't even in there. Hmm..I'm sure I'll get unstuck if I just give it another go.
And White-Rabbit, so sorry for all the "life stuff" you've got going on - I hope it all clears up for you soon, we miss y! :-)

Mohan,
I am using Win10 Home x64 and was getting a resolution error message as well. In the game options, I checked "Wide Screen Support" and that seems to have cleared up the error. I hope that helps.
Thank you for today's game MPC, BFG & GGOTD team.
Wishing you and your family well, Stephen, a.k.a. Whiterabbit-uk

Are screen resolution errors due to having an older Intel or an AMD GPU? I have not had resolution errors. Just curious. Thanks
Save | Cancel
Mohan, Runs fine on Win7. Try compatibility mode for that?

Janice, its an intel i5 cpu processor not sure why other games did not have this problem.
Save | Cancel
Janice,
In my case, it is not due to an older chip. I have an Intel 8th Gen chip with dedicated graphics and full HD. So not sure what it is due to but, as I stated above, checking the "Wide Screen Support" remedied it.

I'm still away each weekend. Sorry I've not been in touch for a few weeks. Things have been really manic. Still don't know when I'll be back.

Whiterabbit-uk, "Sorry" is not needed.
It is not the best for you and your family.
I hope for you and your family all will come good, noticeably lighter.
