So I Bought Sherlock Holmes And The Hound Of The Baskervilles On Steam The Other Day Since It Was On

So I bought Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of The Baskervilles on Steam the other day since it was on sale, and I got an hour+ worth of gameplay on it. Tried opening it today and the game crashes no matter if I reinstall it or rename/tamper with the game files.

I don't know if this is an issue exclusively on Steam, but I am TIRED of hopa games not **working**! I only got it for $2, so it's not that big of a loss to me, but it sucks to see multiple discussions on a game page with different 'fixes' because it just won't work properly.

Ooh the plot thickens! And yay Curioso‘s helping with his HOPA mechanics 😄

When the detective was looking for a bag to take Curioso‘s box along I couldn’t help but think of these cat mom videos. Like where women carry their cats in a baby sling so they have their hands free? If the box wasn’t too heavy or pointy I would try that instead of a backpack 😂

AGH so sorry I didn't answer this sooner!!

If only the Detective would let Curioso out so he didn't have to worry about carrying a bag at *all*...👀

if you’re looking for some christmas hopas most of the christmas stories games are decent. I played nutcracker, puss in boots and the one with the train and they’re all delightfully festive and cheesy. (can’t recommend the tin soldier though, that one felt lacking)

playing these while having a hot drink makes a winter day feel less dreary :)

!!! I would love to seek out some Christmas-themed HOPAs for the season! I've heard of these but never played them. Since Steam just started their Autumn sale, a lot of Hidden Object games are on sale, so I'll take advantage and buy some more...!

Is the phantom from mystery legends undead in your opinion?

Ohhhhh, definitely. I had the feeling the Phantom was some sort of (literal) ghost, but by the end of the game, we see that he can physically touch Evelina and vice versa. So maybe he's a different kind of undead..? The ending text of the game refers to him as "the Opera ghost", it might still be playing on his "Phantom of the Opera" nickname, but I'll consider it another support for this ghost-theory...

Not to mention Evelina was whisked away to the Phantom's realm after opening the invitation, and including his show of the mirrors, makes me think that he has some magical/mystical powers, which would also point to the undead/ghost thing.

I should also say...throughout the game, the Phantom has a pretty well-collected appearance, but at a certain point you can see a quick flash of his damaged mask + skin. I wonder if he's been hiding his actual appearance..?
