Hi Grace, welcome to Abandonia

I remember that I kept clicking the letter ON her and it finally disappeared and the game proceeded.

I'm absolutely amazed by this website - it's a near-perfect collection of games!


A note on "Daughter of Serpents" though; it's heavily Lovecraft-inspired, something that should be mentioned in the review. Also, the game is incredibly linear - there are ~6 paths through the game, but you are stuck on one of them from the start (if you pick a character, you have one, and it randomly picks one for a created character) Other than that, the game is quite short - I'd personally tone down the review a bit, and link it to "Shadow of the Comet", which is a far better effort in the same vein.

I wasd excited when I started playing this and realized the lovecraftian aspects to it - which made me think - how many games out there are influenced by lovecraft?

I thought of a few - besides this one...
Call of cthulhu - the shadow of the comet (haven't played yet, but DLed)
Darkseed has some elements...
Dylan Dog - through the looking glass
And, curiously enough, Quest for Glory IV

Any I am missing or should know about?

Hi, Jim6. Thanks for the advice on the review and compliment for the site You really seem to know your DOS games. Why don't you register and review some for us? We'd love to have you onboard

Edit:
I see in another part of the site you have registered. Welcome! I've now linked the game to Shadow Of The Comet.

Hey there, just discovered this game, and it looks like fun. Mystery a la Lovecraft in the 1920's Egypt, niiice! :w00t:

Anyway, how to read that letter (took me a couple of tries) :blink: :

Pick it up, and either from your inventory (reaching it by going to the lower right hand screen and left-clicking) or from the "game screen", just move it down to the lower left hand corner and left-click.

And there you go! k:

My computer for some strange reason won't let me even create a character! Why?

I noticed you have to run the program called run.com in order to get the chance to create a character. Otherwise it will simply dump you into the game with some default character. :blink:

If you use run.com you will also see the introduction.

:help: This may be a SPOILER, so be forewarned


I get the pipe and the powder. I can not get the powder in the pipe. The lady gave me the pipe and the powder back, and I know what I have to do thanks to the walkthru, but I can't get it to work. E-mail me if wish, at **************@*******.***, though I'll check the board too.


!!!THANKS!!! k:
