Stay Tuned for Danger (PC 1999)

Remember opinions are subjective :)

Story: 7/10

Characters: 8/10

Puzzles: 7/10

Chores: 6/10

Final Rating: 7/10

First one I ever actually beat, this game had the right amount of puzzles and was more linear and straightforward compared to its predecessor. The graphics aged decently, but some of the glitches didn’t. It’s easy to get stuck places if you didn’t pick up certain things earlier in the game. The story is one of the more interesting, and least ridiculous in my opinion. Little details were put in, and most were relevant to the plot. The characters I found very memorable. And I liked the option of being able to accuse any of the main players. Chores got a 6 because the audio mixer thing really should tell you when you’ve triggered breaking into the agent’s office.

Message in a Haunted Mansion (PC 2000)

Remember opinions are subjective :)

Story: 8/10

Characters: 8/10

Puzzles: 8/10

Chores: 8/10

Final Rating: 8/10

Second one I ever finished (it came bundled with STFD). This story was supposed to be “spooky”, and it tried just enough that I found it charming, instead of off putting like some of the later ones that tried too hard imo. While it was not as linear storywise compared to Stay Tuned for Danger, it was less glitchy. The puzzles we harder but not silly, or time consuming. The characters were some of the best in the whole series. It’s also on the shorter side, I can usually run through it in one sitting. I liked the hidden wordplay in this one because it was actually relevant to the puzzles.

Treasure in the Royal Tower (PC 2001)

Story: 7/10

Characters: 6/10

Puzzles:7/10

Chores: 6/10

Final Rating: 7/10

I have this one still and I would rather pirate any other game in the series. The story is interesting but the puzzles and erraticness of gameplay drives me crazy. I’m pretty sure I’ve only played this one once, because the second time I tried to play it, I ran into one of those pesky glitches, and I didn’t care enough to go back and try again. I also don’t know if I’m the only person on this planet to find Professor Hotchkiss annoying af, if I didn’t need her help in the later games I would have totally stabbed her. This was the second game to try to weave history into the game, and it did it decently, I was just a little confused as to why they had to redeem Marie Antoinette’s character? It felt like they were making up their own alternate history as opposed to Message in a Haunted Mansion, where they used a fictional character to tell their story.

UPDATE: The glitches really took away from a solid game. Upon further evaluation I am giving it a better rating. It deserves a higher rating thank Secrets Can Kill for sure.

The Final Scene (PC 2001)

Story: 7/10

Characters: 5/10

Puzzles: 7/10

Chores: 7/10

Final Rating: 6/10

Every now and then I’ll come back to this one because it is one of the shorter ones. The story line is straightforward, and there aren’t too many obnoxious puzzles. I don’t know if it’s because we’re brought back to the stage, I get some Stay Tuned for Danger vibes. It’s s little gitchy, but I’ve only been stuck (i.e. forgot to pick up something I needed later) once in the 4 times I’ve played it. The characters aren’t as memorable, but I enjoyed the setting and the idea of being trapped in a building for 3 days. This game is successful in regards to weaving the history of Henry Houdini into the plot without it getting too preachy.

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake (PC 2002)

Story: 8/10

Characters: 8/10

Puzzles: 7/10

Chores: 7/10

Final Rating: 7/10

Fortunately Her Interactive was able to redeem themselves in my eyes after Secret of the Scarlet Hand. Toning down the book trivia heavy plot, but still presenting history in an engaging and interesting way. They also expanded the world they built for this game compared to the previous games by having bigger map. I might be slightly biased because of the ties to the mob and mob culture. Like Message in a Haunted Mansion, it tried to be spooky, but just enough that it wasn’t annoying. I’ve also played this one like 5 times and have never run into any sort of glitches. The story/plot was easy to flow through despite the expanded universe. This had less character involvement and it strangely worked for it. The chores were tedious but not as bad as Secret of the Scarlet Hand, and they created a more linear storyline.

The Haunted Carousel (PC 2003)

Story: 8/10

Characters: 9/10

Puzzles: 8/10

Chores:8/10

Final Rating: 8/10

This is another game I always come back to because I can get through it within a couple of hours. The setting is so fun and it was well executed, a haunted amusement park that didn’t try too hard to be scary. They world wasn’t as big as Ghost Dogs, but it worked really well in my opinion and the characters are some of the more memorable ones in the series. The history they tied into the game was interesting and unique. The puzzles (i.e. the arcade games you have to play to move the plot forward) aren’t too difficult or annoying like some of the later games (looking at you at Trail of the Twister).
