I am a fan of many things but especially Mystery Case Files with a huge crush on Charles Dalimar. Link to all my other stuff😊⬇️ https://msha.ke/angelofmoondrop
My Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 playthrough is posted!
I am so happy to finally have gotten this posted after so many issues. Beware there are some glitches due to my computer but I didn't wanna refilm it after so many issues I had.
I tried to post the video I made about my Christmas gifts, but because it was so long, it was refusing to post, so here are the pictures instead.
Gift #1 is from my mom. She knows I am a huge fan of Poppy Playtime and a collector of merch of many fandoms, so she got me a plushie of Huggy Wuggy.
Gift #2 is also from my mom. It is a hoodie that reads 'I'm Angel Doing Angel Things' since my name is Angel. I've been wanting to get more things with my name on it. I had a few clothing items, but I went through a phase where I was trying out different names and got rid of them, and now I'm mad at myself for it. Ahhhh! Anyway...
Gift #3 is also from my mom and it is the last one from her. It is a cute green cardigan. I've been needing more sweaters and hoodies and this is cute.
Gift #4 is from my partner. It is a squishmallow of Huggy Wuggy. There are 4 of these. Other than Huggy Wuggy, there is also Kissy Missy, Catnap and Doey and I want them all.
Gift #5 is also from my partner. It is a Hazbin Hotel hoodie. I am a huge fan of the show and needed more sweaters and hoodies as I said so I like this.
Gift #6 is also from my partner. It is a set of 5 cute kitty themed socks. I like kitties and cute socks so these are nice to have.
Gift #7 is also from my partner. It is a pair of earbuds from SkullCandy. I love the SkullCandy earbuds. The sound quality is great, and they last forever. I still have a pair, but I tend to lose my earbuds a lot, so it is always good to have a backup pair just in case.
Gift #8, the final gift, is also from my partner. It is a Dogday shirt. It says 'Dogday' at the top and then there is a cute picture of Dogday overlayed on a sun. Beneath him, it reads 'Take Every Step Like It Is Your Last,' which I am pretty sure comes from a poster found in Chapter 3.
My dear followers, one of you has betrayed The Prototype, sharing information from my posts with the traitors in Safe Haven.
This is your only warning, heretic. I will find you. I will find you and make you pay for your disloyalty. It'd be smart to surrender yourself now. If I have to hunt you down, your punishment will be worse.
To the rest of you, let this be a reminder that disloyalty is not tolerated. The Prototype is our god. Heretics must be captured and disposed of. They are ungrateful traitors. The Prototype saved us all and to turn against him is to spit on his gift of salvation.
Surrender now, heretic. I will find you, one way or another. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for you when I finally dig my claws into you.
I have found the traitor! @dalimarisdaddy1967 has betrayed The Prototype and passed information from my blog to that insufferable dough man and traitors in Safe Haven! I caught them sneaking supplies from Playcare to Safe Haven.
You stand accused of turning against our God and Savior, and your punishment is death! At least I'll have a meal out of you, heretic.
To the rest of you, let this be a warning of what happens to those who betray The Prototype. He is our savior. Traitors will not be tolerated.
*turns to you* You're lucky he believes your story. But I will be watching you. If I catch a whiff of betrayal from you, I'll put you in the cell next to Dogday's.

Final Post with a slew of teaser images and a little compilation of teaser videos that we have received for this game.
This post is from the GrandMa Studios Facebook page from November 4th, and it reads:This fall, come rain or shine, stroll the streets that took 20 years to build! Starting in Huntsville, visit Madame Fate, then Return to Ravenhearst and Escape. Find Shadow Lake and fly like Moths To A Flame at the light of Fate's Carnival. There you'll meet The Countess and find the Key to Ravenhearst. Finally, at Crossfade St, you'll see the beautiful Pendle Tower, where travelers found The Last Resort. Looking back, you'll see The Dalimar Legacy, but ahead, Mrs. Bishop will call you, telling Fragments of Truth about the House That Love Built!
Revisit your favorite places for nostalgia, but also delight your heart with wonderful new experiences! See you soon!
Below that is a banner to celebrate 20 years of Mystery Case Files. I believe those people are other agents with the agency. I think this is a fun way to commemorate the series with a little story like paragraph. I'm a little annoyed they left out some games and they're a little out of order in places but it is still a cute way to do it.
Here is another post from November 4th, this time from the Mystery Case Files Facebook Page. It reads:Celebrate 20 years of Mystery! It's been two decades of clues, puzzles and unforgettable cases-and we're marking the milestone with Mystery Case Files:House That Love Built!
Step into a brand new investigation and join special anniversary activities on our page. Discover surprises, get previews, and relive the mysteries you love. Join the celebration now!
Below that there is a link to the Scavenger Hunt for the code.
Also, on that post, there is this image. There is Ravenhearst Manor/New MCF Headquarters. There is also a raven and Emma's locket in the top left. Below that, there is a picture of Emma and her husband in this new timeline and a 20-year celebratory MCF badge. I love all of the details on this.
This post is from the Mystery Case Files Facebook Page, and it is from November 10th. It reads:Master Detective we need you! The stakes have never been higher. Evelyn Ravenhearst has resurfaced with a chilling warning:Angelica Morgan's spirit still lives... and she's after something buried deep beneath Ravenhearst Manor!
Can you uncover Charles Dalimar's forgotten secrets, rescue Evelyn and stop Angelica before it's too late?
The new Mystery Case Files drops in just 15 days!(5 days as of me making this post) Follow our page for exclusive reveals and sneak peeks leading up to launch, plus find the clues for a great offer!
Below that is this image. There are some bottles on a table. We've also got the image of Emma and her husband again. We've also got Emma's locket and her diary, as well as the 20 year badge.
Holy crap! This is... wow. We haven't seen the diary since back in the first Ravenhearst, and then it was never referenced again. The locket disappeared after Escape from Ravenhearst, and it is back, too. The picture of her new husband is a nice touch, too. I find it interesting that things from both timelines are present here which really feeds into my theory that the two timelines might bleed into each other, especially with how the images of Emma and her husband and the locket look frayed with green energy on the edges.
Next is this post from the 16th that says: Coming Soon! Mystery Case Files:House That Love Built!
A sudden call from a missing friend brings hope to an anxious MCF agency, but the call comes with a dire warning. Angelica Morgan is back!
Join Game Club for Early Access! Members get 30% off!
I am so ecstatic about this game!!!
I've also compiled all the videos from posts on the Mystery Case Files Facebook page into one. Let's dive in!
The first video shows a clip that we also saw in the trailer. We enter what looks to be the Forever Home, where we see the organ room. We then see Charles, specifically a clip of him from Escape From Ravenhearst, when he welcomed the Detective to the Forever Home, played across several screens, and then a large claw descends on us. I really feel like the timelines are bleeding together, and I so badly need the context for this!
The second video has a music box with the words "a dire warning... a brand new case..." beneath it. The figures sort of look like Emma and Charles or Emma and her husband in this new timeline, or is that just me? There are also raven references on the music box. On the underside of the lid, there is a picture of a golden raven. Then, at the bottom, there are what I assume to be buttons that depict raven features. In order, there is an eye, a talon, a feather, a footprint, and a beak. It's really pretty and kinda eerie.
The third video shows several broken televisions with electricity shooting and zapping. There is also some kinda hand that looks scorched, maybe belonging to a busted up automaton, moving at the bottom. There is the text "Static. Silence. Broken. A new case is coming soon!" This is such an interesting shot. Automaton graveyard, maybe?
The fourth and final video shows a fountain of some sort that's adorned in ravens, swarmed by ravens, and we hear a raven cawing. The words "The ravens of Ravenhearst see everything..." Is this fountain located on the grounds of Ravenhearst Manor/New MCF Headquarters, perhaps?
I have a few takeaways from all of this. I really feel certain that the old timeline and new timeline may be bleeding together in some way. I feel like we are being tricked also by "Evelyn". We know from The Riddle of Mrs. Bishop that when Angelica possesses someone, she kills them, so unless she figured out a different way to do this or Evelyn managed to get her body back somehow, Evelyn is likely dead and it is really Angelica talking to us with this "dire warning". Also, I love the details of the ravens of Ravenhearst see everything. I've always had the headcanon that the Dalimars had a way of using the ravens as spies, and this confirms that, and I love when I'm right.
If they post any more teasers, which is possible from them saying they would be posting teasers leading up to release, I will try to post them here. But for now. That is all.
We are gonna get to see Charles again! Holy ahhhhh! I am so ecstatic! I don't give a damn if they're reusing video clips from Escape From Ravenhearst or reusing locations from Escape From Ravenhearst. Escape From Ravenhearst is my favorite of the series! We get to see the lighthouse again, with a different puzzle. There's the organ room and the wedding sequence and the automatons. Holy crap.
They took from Escape From Ravenhearst and enhanced it. I think we may see meshing of timelines sort of in this game because it doesn't make sense for the organ room, in what looks like Forever Home, to even exist in this timeline or for the wedding sequence to even be a thing... unless... we have a meshing of timelines or Charles(or Angelica) are recreating what should've happened somehow! I don't even know but I am so ecstatic at the moment and can't comprehend this!
We've been getting quite a lot of goodies to promote House That Love Built, and boy, am I excited! I wish more people were as excited as I am for this game, but maybe I'm just hyped cuz it seems we will be seeing Charles again! This is gonna be several posts so that I can cover everything. The posts will likely be long because, as you guys know, I like to ramble and go in depth with things. So I am gonna do a page break here for space.
Let's start this out with the promo code page.
First part reads:Mystery Case Files:House That Love Built-Nov. 25th.
Now this date is probably for people with Game Club and I don't have that anymore because I wasn't buying games enough to warrant it so, if you're like me, it'll likely be Nov. 26th. I probably won't be able to buy it until January though... boo! Christmas makes things tight. Should've saved ahead of time but with two releases this year it wasn't really feasible. Anyway... moving on.
Next part reads:Celebrate 20 years of Mystery Case Files with the next mind-bending chapter of the Ravenhearst saga, from GrandMa Studios! Reprise your role as the Master Detective as you track the immortal Angelica Morgan in her obsessive search to unearth even more secrets hidden in the seemingly endless labyrinth beneath the legendary manor.
20 years! Holy crap I feel old and I am only 24! Huntsville came out November 18, 2005, the day before my 4th birthday. I unfortunately didn't play the series until I was a preteen or young teen but I have been a fan ever since. Yes, I agree with comments about the fact that the series isn't what it used to be but honestly there are still some good ones and I am excited for this one.
I am excited to see how they take this with secrets under the manor. The manor is now the agency headquarters, so what secrets are hidden? What things did Charles implement back then before we stopped the construction that Angelica would be after? I am so curious because if Angelica is at the agency, while possessing Evelyn, how fucked are we? How totally fucked are we?
The next part reads:It's a Scavenger Hunt! Before the release, we'll reveal 3 short videos chronicling recent events in the new timeline. Keep an eye out for a floating 2-digit number in each video, then string all three together to reveal a single-use coupon code. The full coupon code won't be available until November 17th when the last video is revealed. There are no spaces or letters in the coupon code. Add two games to your cart of equal or lesser value and use the coupon code at checkout to buy one game and get the second for just $1!
Considering that it is now the 21st(I am behind I'm sorry!), all three videos are already available. I will show the videos and which games I bought momentarily but I wanna go through the little text blurbs so be patient!
The text with the first video reads:Righting A Wrong; The noble Evelyn Ravenhearst, great granddaughter of Emma Ravenhearst and head of the MCF Agency, owes her very existence to the Master Detective, whose tireless efforts to prevent Charles Dalimar's abominable acts created a new timeline where Emma's bloodline survived to the present day.
First note, it's kinda weird to refer to Evelyn as noble since she isn't royalty but okay...
Secondly, I really feel like there are gonna be bigger consequences, potentially in this game, that come from this new timeline. I mean, we've already got the existence of Angelica Morgan running rampant, mind controlled by Charles and now she is possessing Evelyn so... here's to hoping. I like drama! Give me drama! Give me consequences!
The text with the second video reads: It's About Time; A strange green energy granted the Master Detective the unexpected opportunity to step into the body of Charles Dalimar himself, rewriting history by controlling his actions at a pivotal time in his life. However, while the Master Detective's bold actions in the past created the new timeline, they also led to the inadvertent creation of a new sinister foe.
DON'T MESS WITH TIME YOU MORON! DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM CROSSFADE AND REWIND! HOW DO YOU EVEN HAVE YOUR JOB?! Seriously though? The Detective has had issues with time travel gone wrong before and but still thinks, oh no, I'm in the past, let's change everything. Yes, what Charles did was horrendous but in changing that, you've made someone arguably worse, who is controlled by Charles so... Charles is still an issue! You made bigger issues you dumbass!
The text with the third video reads:A Friend in Need; and the text is for some reason the same as the second video despite it being a different video... alright...
The last little text blurb reads:The coupon code must be entered at checkout and is limited to one redemption per customer. To qualify, add a full price game to the shopping cart. Recent releases are excluded from this offer. Add another game of equal or lesser value and it will be discounted to $1. The coupon code is valid through November 24th at 11:59 pm. PT. No cash value. Not to be combined with any other coupon, discount, offer or promotion. Cannot be used for prior purchases. Big Fish Games reserves the right to modify or cancel this promotion at any time without notice.
I already got my couple games. I will show which ones I got but first, I am gonna assist others in finding the numbers and talk about each little video.
So let's get into this. I put them all in one screen recording for my own convenience. If you wanna watch them separately go to the Big Fish page.
The first video is titled: "Origins of Evelyn Ravenhearst." In this video, we see clips from A Crime in Reflection and The Dalimar Legacy. We start out with the clip of Evelyn giving us the case in A Crime in Reflection via our agency tablet and then it switches to the clip from The Dalimar Legacy when we come back from the past and first meet Evelyn at the new agency which was the unfinished Ravenhearst Manor.
The video ends with it zooming in on Ravenhearst Manor/New MCF Headquarters, which is kinda interesting foreshadowing considering this new game's premise. It also shows the clip of the picture changing from Emma and Charles to Emma and her new husband in this timeline which honestly, even now, feels like the timeline isn't exactly stable because the picture and the agency headquarters changed right before our eyes.
The number for the code that is found in this video is 20. You can see it if you look beside the Master Detective's rearview mirror in the car.
The second video is titled: "The New Timeline." In this video we see clips from The Dalimar Legacy. It shows the green energy changing it from present day to the past and then Charles in the window, holding out his hand. Then it switches to showing Charles' underground lab and James in that tube Charles had him in. Then it switches to showing Angelica in the cage, with a very brief glimpse of Angelica's spirit floating beside Agnes Bishop, which is from The Riddle of Mrs. Bishop. I love the tying together there.
The number for the code from this video is 13. You can see it beside Charles when he appears in the window.
The third video is titled: "Angelica Morgan." This video has clips from The Riddle of Mrs. Bishop. It starts out with Agnes Bishop walking through the gates of the agency headquarters. Then it switches to the dark dog that attacks us in the underground complex beneath Bishop Manor. Then it shows the clip of that same dark dog standing beside Agnes Bishop with Angelica Morgan's spirit to the other side, showing that Angelica had been possessing her this whole time. Then it switches to showing Angelica's little immortality/power machine with the whole Bishop family strung up to it and then shows the Master Detective's arm with the device on it that is connected to the machine.
There is a brief glimpse of the letter congratulating the Detective on another case solved(with the ominous question about if they had seen Evelyn if I remember correctly) and then the video concludes showing Evelyn standing beside her car with Angelica's spirit beside her, showing that Angelica is now possessing Evelyn.
The number for the code from this video is 36. We can see it on the agency sign as Agnes Bishop walks by.
Stringing all the numbers together you get 201336.
Before I show which games I got, I wanted to make the comment of something I noticed. I find it particularly interesting that all the videos were shown on the screens of automatons. We know that Charles, and apparently Angelica because she is being controlled as seen in The Riddle of Mrs. Bishop, like automatons. I always thought they were creepy but a good detail so I'm kinda excited. Now for the games I got...
I got Spectra Beneath the Stain and Darkwood Tales Beast in the Shadows. Let me give my personal review for these two games.
Spectra is an okay game but would I play it again? Probably not. Brief synopsis-A woman finds herself in a town caught between points in time. There are ghosts but the plot moves way too fast, she knows who the people are without them telling her and I could solve the puzzles in like 5-10 mins. It's an interesting concept but it really need to be fleshed out more. I'd give it a 5/10.
Darkwood Tales is significantly better to me. It takes place in a small town where there is a legend about a vampire. With the way it was going, I thought it was gonna be a vampire romance and it still could be with the cliffhanger. I kinda want a sequel and I could see myself playing it again. Not in my top 5 favorites but definitely not that bad. I'd give it a 7/10.
That's all for these particular promotional things but I did say there would be multiple posts and there will be more because there is more to come soon so stay tuned!
