EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.

Aw man. Ghost Trick does not work for iSO 8. I wonder if they're gonna patch it anytime soon. poo poo crashes for me every time I start up.
Just further to this, I've been playing it on my iOS 8.1 iPhone 5S with zero problems for the past couple days, even though there's been no update for almost a year.

I've had it for quite a while-- almost a year since I bought all chapters unlock for $1 in the last Christmas sale. Finally gave it a shot and I'm on Chapter 5 or 6 after about as many sessions.

The dialogue is very elementary-grade level but the plotting is basically compelling. The puzzle structures have been decent so far, only getting stuck once so far. There are some that rely on exact timing but are still relatively forgiving. Unfortunately I remember being spoiled on the big twist with the main character but it's neat seeing the foreshadowing at least. The art style/animations are only occasionally distractingly anime and just sort of inoffensively vibrant anime the rest of the time.

For $1 it's a hell of a game.

Im not sure anything CAN be done yet. My game still says "waiting for more players." (I've invited more than 8 dudes so far who have asked to be in it.)

There's a secret involved? Can you spoiler me on it? I have no means to print anything at the moment.

Also Ghost Trick is written simply for a younger audience but god drat is the plot clever as all hell in spite of its simplicity.

I mean

if you think about it

every game ever

is a point and click adventure

I think the first episode of The Walking Dead is free, I'd recommend you give that a try. However, liking it doesn't guarantee that you will ever like the more traditional point and click adventure games. There are lot of people who seem to think the genres shortcomings are actually it's virtues for some reason. That said, Broken Age is pretty good and not too bogged down with the more awful point and click crap.

Correct, made a Philippine account since I had a little too much free time at work tonight. It's actually a pretty good game and uses the same payment model as DOTA/LoL so its good to see being on iOS didn't cripple it IAP wise.

This is part of what I like about it. At the moment I'm super excited and checking it all the time, but I know that when I'm distracted with work I'll be lucky to check it even once a day. I appreciate them trying to structure it around slow, long-term play like that.

Eight new levels of Monument Valley are coming next Thursday, for an IAP of $1.99

http://www.wired.com/2014/11/monument-valley-forgotten-shores/#slide-id-1626919

Also, the game has been downloaded over 1.4 million times. That's pretty incredible.

Big Fish Casino is pretty awesome for learning vegas table games and getting some experience in before you go to a real casino and lose all your money.

Finally learning how to play craps. Of course the game with the best odds is the one that the fewest people know how to play. And i'm finally learning when to split and when to double down in Blackjack.

I've already noticed that if the time scale wasn't so long, I'll already be screwed by my work day. Very glad I don't have to pay attention to it except for when I want to.

On the one hand it's cool we're getting new levels but on the other I was under the impression that they were working on new levels because of how short the game was for the price so it's odd to see they're charging extra for them.
