And I'm having fun with Black Circle. I'm pretty far into the game. Could be approaching the endgame already, but I still have quite few inventory items that are unused, so maybe not.
It's a typical Carol Reed mystery, although Mikael had a bit more fun with this one. First, he himself appears in the game as a transvestite (I recognized him from an earlier game). That had to be fun.
Also, he had Jonas showing around attendees at an adventure game convention who wanted to visit sites used in games in Norrköping. However, Jonas doesn't play those games, because they're just for women. Actually I'd imagine that's true. No doubt I fit the demographic perfectly, too.
But I progress. Finding the janitor's notebook was quite a challenge. Plus, it was only by accident that I found a key I needed. Sometimes I do get lucky. I'd grabbed the contraband buried in the floor, but aaaaalmost missed the key!
I must say that I'm getting rather sick of derelict buildings, though.
Interesting for an American to see all of these Swedish apartments, too. All of them seem extremely small, especially the bedrooms and kitchens. The views are nice, but the only place I wouldn't mind owning is the house in Time Stand Still. At least it had a modern bathroom, much nicer than mine, actually. Plus, they're always, always messy. Guess there's just not enough room to stash stuff. I'm not accusing--my place usually is every bit as bad. I do wonder how Mikael convinces his friends to leave their apartments in their natural state when he photographs them, however.
Anyway, I have explored the possible bad guy's house and retrieved keys of many colors (wait, wasn't that the last game?). I'm ready to go exploring the mine and perhaps enter the sanctum sanctorum of the cult.
Till tomorrow!
