Hi!

Mazes are the most senseless parts of any adventure. I mean: What for? Is it cool, or what?, to randomly click your way through tunnels you can't even see (The Last Crusade) and going here and there just to activate some machines? And The Perils of Rosella, especially those, on which you had to walk on pixels not to die, bear my grudge.
The bonedoor puzzle in Monkey Island 2 may be ignored; for years I had to guess the right combination, indeed, and I just wanted to jump out of my window, when I noticed these silly verses from the Bone Dance (which besides is a great joker on children's parties).

Great, storywoven puzzles are the ones in the Monkey Island series. I really appreciate them.

Oh, and I don't like puzzle puzzles as well. Don't know, how often I sat in front of Black Mirror and tried to reassemble photographs.

Hi!

Sounds quite interesting, although I'd might prefer it in a novel. But, hey!, it's up to you to show me I'm wrong with this.

First suggestions: The death of the parents will become an important thing in the relation to this order. Maybe they were members of it, had found something out and had to be killed for this knowledge. This golden amulet was maybe theirs, and it was part of the heritage.

Since Mike has not been found, it could possibly be, that he is still alive, and furthermore, is participating in an intrigue to somehow involve his brother Jacob with all this.

Well, only suggestions. I'm looking forward to see the game and the story grow.

Well that's a nice try of remaking a "Colonel's Bequest" room. I did recognize it after all, but the original has some more ... uh, hard to say ... magic in it. Can't quite say what is it: Same as the 1:1-remake of Hitchcock's Psycho. Though it was a good copy, it lacked the magic.

But if the picture has it's objects back, it might give me some kind of a positive chill. Good work, and have fun in going on with it!
