Game Notes
This is the thirteenth stand alone game in the popular Carol Reed mystery
series. In this adventure Carol investigates the disappearance of a friends
neighbor. There is no graphic violence or vulgar language and no quick
responses are required.
Puzzles primarily draw upon logic and reasoning, such as how do I open this
box Oh I need a number code now where do I find that What do I do with this
key There are no quick action dexterity moves you must make and none of your
searching requires rushing. You wont be challenged in that regard except
once toward the end and even then the game allows plenty of time to think. If
you are stuck, the hint notes will tell you exactly what to do and your
opponent will wait while you figure it out.
There are multiple locations offering many venues to explore. I did not count
them all but they offer a reasonable length of game play. I spent two to
three hours in each sitting over four days to complete the game. I admit to
liberal use of the offered hints. I suggest you avoid using the hints unless
you are completely lost.
Some objects you will need are not revealed to you until you know you need
them. If you did not know you needed it then you couldnt pick it up. This
requires you to go back to where you first noticed the object, get it and
return. There are a couple of puzzles that tax your thinking. A box you need
to open requiring aligning six jewels featured on a bracelet comes to mind.
It is a simple box with colored buttons you must push in proper order.
Determining a proper sequence is a real test.
Does the Adventurers bane, the dreaded maze lurk somewhere ready to pounce
There are none so to speak, but a few locations have enough rooms that may
lead you to distraction as orientation can be confusing when trying to find
your way.
The Birdwatcher stays true to both the Carol Reed universe regarding story
line and the quality of game play. It does not telegraph who the guilty party
is and you are likely to guess incorrectly, which makes the game all the
better. Typically when solving a mystery you can guess the identity of the
villain. For me the wrap up came as a surprise. You wont find any spoilers
here. So sit back take your time enjoying excellent scenery and marvel at the
detail illustrated in the outdoor scenes and those of fine homes along with
deteriorating barns, etc. The combination of relaxed searching, soothing
background music and fine graphics, created an enjoyable adventure. It wont
tax your system.
