Evidence: The Last Ritual (Majestic: Redeux?)

[Pluvius]

This isn't anything new, since this game's predecessor, Missing Since January, did the same thing more-or-less. You should try it out first if you're interested; it's been out for years and costs $20 direct from Dreamcatcher.

Oh! I really didn't have much info on this game until now. Thanks for posting that press release thingy. And yes... Evidence is the "sequel" to the PC game Missing Since January. That game was pretty ARG-y and is still pretty darn fun. So... they did already tap into the ARG market, just that many people didn't seem to care.

Well, obviously they did or else there wouldn't be a sequel... Whatever! Thanks for the news.

My thoughts

[analogwatch]

I know, old, old topic, but I just bought this game last night for much the same reason jwiv did... Evidence bag packaging.

I've had fun with the game so far. Played it for an hour before bed (not exactly the brightest idea I've had lately). Note: one hour.

This one hour of gameplay spawned no less than ten (10!!) emails from various characters. That was a ... Bit annoying, really.

However, it was quite interesting and a little creepy to wake up this morning to find an email from "The Phoenix" himself. I received it at 2:30 this morning.

OK, yeah. Bad me for bumping this out of retirement. But it was either that, or start a new thread. I think this was the right choice...

It's my birthday tomorrow, and I had mentioned earlier today to a friend that I was getting into ARGs, and that I was involved in one based on Dexter. So he got a REALLY weird looking grin on his face and rummaged in a drawer that he keeps games he's beaten and couldn't bear to sell. "Consider this a gift. I think you'll get a kick out of it." So I take it home with me, and install it. After registering my email, and seeing the opening video, I'm already thinking, 'Dear God, what have I gotten myself into?" I had to stop the game at the blinking puzzle, because I am home by myself until sometime tomorrow. I'm kind of scared to play it now.

Also, the UPS guy just knocked to drop off a package for me and the knocking made me freak for a second!

Honestly, i'm amazed the game is working for you Faerie_Detective, but more power to you.

I have both games, got them very recently. Neither games works properly, the emails either didn't come at all, or came days after i decided to stop playing. I ended up half cheating by finding a website that listed all the emails and the cues that triggered them so i could semi-follow along, which just killed all suspension of disbelief. I emailed the game makers, publishers, anyone i could think to contact - and none responded. Also, because it i indeed a sequel, there are a TON of references to the previous game which you may not get, but i don't think it actually affects game playability.

I had tried Missing: Since January a few weeks ago, because I'd gotten a copy at a thrift store. But it wouldn't connect to server because of a server name change, and I couldn't get the patch they made to install. But I'm using yahoo mail, and everything is going well for Evidence. I stopped for several hours, first to hang out with a friend, then to sleep. I woke u with two messages basically asking where I'd gone and why wasn't I working on the case, and one from Phoenix that really got me, since I was home alone at the time. XD
