Okay so it turned out I’d skipped ahead by accident (Stone Queen comes before Bloody Mary!) so I went back and this is interesting! It’s way more fantasy than horror than the other ones.
Actually, I was so involved in the gameplay and figuring out where things go I didn’t even really dick around/take screencaps to make jokes about. I am pleased to see that my nephew Brandon is alive and well except for the mortal wounding but apparently I just didn’t see him again until now after I saved him from Volo(s?)!
What kind of auntie am I? Jeez. Luisa might be in another crystal ball and I didn’t even check on her. Is John Gray in a dungeon? Do I know? No. I failed them. I failed them all.
Anyway so Brandon’s performing a Snow White routine in a crystal coffin and I’ve got a little goblin servant now and I’ve been hanging out with trolls and ogres. The puzzles are relatively easy to solve but I keep missing items I’m meant to pick up, like I swear my eyes don’t register them until I hit the hint thing and it’s like ‘there was a coin there???’
The puzzles are relatively interesting. I like the story telling format that will come later in Bloody Mary and they’re not as frustrating/why? as in the first two. There was actually an interesting rpg style one. (For the record, I did skip to the end of that one but I played halfway through it but I’ve been having spacing out issues lately so I just moved along. I did like it though and in normal circumstances would have played to the end).
The plot is pretty strong in this game, focusing on a corrupt mayor and a strange girl beneath the earth. Name of this strange town where people are being turned to stone by the Stone Queen: Stoneville.
