Ben Jordan Case 5

[treq]

Finshed case 5 a while ago, brilliant game. It wasn't as atmorpheric or creepy as case 3 and 4. But all in all it was still a brilliant game with a really good story.

One question tho. What happened to that guy who was first introduced in case 3, he was a skeptic detective and then in case 4 he was brought back as Ben's agent. Just wondering if he was going to be brought back or was he just Ben's agent for paranormal activities in England.

Hey, did you guys noticed that picture of the smailholm church and cemetery in Ben Jordan's room? I bet there's little details around the game that grundi put in but wouldn't tell us where!

I've just finished playing ALL of the Ben Jordan games and am awaiting the 6th instalment.

I have to say I was very impressed with the overall series so far and was so drawn in to the games I found myself playing up until 3am on a number of occasions.

I think part 4 was the best for me but part 5 was still a very good game.

I noticed the only real problem seems to lie with the perspective of the backgrounds but they weren't a real problem as the story and characters all took my mind away from it.

Keep up the good work!

Ah, so I was worried about a injoke all the time, 
however...

Spoiler

I still think that Percy has a secret.

and...

Spoiler

Alice Wilkins is buried in the cementary in BJ3

[close]

is one of these is the question that no one asked?

As far as I know, when I played Ben Jordan 3,

Spoiler

Alice Wilkins IS buried in the cemetary. I'll have to check that out. More in a little bit.

there's only one explanation, that could blow this whole case open:

Spoiler

BEN JORDAN SEES DEAD PEOPLE, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THEY'RE DEAD!

[deadsuperhero]

Spoiler

She's a witch like everyone else in the town, though. The graveyard is obviously fake, as there's no bodies.

How do you know the whole graveyard is fake?Ã,  And how do you know everyone who has ever lived in the town is a witch? 

[deadsuperhero]

Well, I assumed since they were witches, they could not be dead. Therefore, if they're not dead, whyever would they need graves? It's all basically to make it look convincing.
And the town WAS rather small (ok it's a game, doesn't matter)
I always assumed that though.

or maybe...

Spoiler

Percy "made" BJ a paranormal investigator by planting the PI guide where Ben would find it and get interested, then caused all paranormal events to happen... which only the DEVIL could do, so Percy is Beelzebub! Just like Unbreakable!

or maybe...

Spoiler

The village elders dress up as the strange red-wearing monsters to scare the villagers into staying put and they are actually inside a wildlife reserve!

Hang on, I haven't seen Shylamalan's latest movie yet

Just finished this game, it was ok. But it felt to much like gabriel knight sins of the fathers set in Japan. The other cases were better in my opinion.

[Hammerite]

just wondered, whats up with the pictures next to the unreleased cases on your website, grundislav?
you think they'd be pictures of ben, not percival.
is that a hint or what?

[Petra]

Played this speech version today and I have to say:

1. Great job as usual
but
2. would have appreciated undertitles as well, as I'm not an English native speaker.

And sometimes I had difficulties to get all the hints

[Hammerite]

Uh... wrong thread. 

[passer-by]

2. would have appreciated undertitles as well, as I'm not an English native speaker.

Seconded.
Apart from that, nice job.

If you guys are talkign about Ben Jordan Case 1 Deluxe (which I think you are) then ctrl-T will give you subtitles!

How do you know the whole graveyard is fake?Ã,  And how do you know everyone who has ever lived in the town is a witch?Ã, 

that sounds like a BIG FAT hint and is adding even more intrigue

[deadsuperhero]

Here could be the ultimate twist to the whole series:

Spoiler

Ben Jordan never WAS a paranormal investigator. He wakes up in a mental institution in the end of the 8th game, the whole series was some sort of demented dream.

[close]

OR, maybe how the 8th game will go.

Spoiler

Just the 8th game didn't happen. Maybe Ben will see Alice and Simon die, but Ben's just in some hospital, dying. And he has to go inside his own mind and battle some inner evil. He wakes up to find Alice holding him, and crying "I love you." Or something like that.
