The second episode in Michael Bagen's trilogy of featured mysteries, Doomslayer: Killers, will launch this coming Tuesday night, March 28th.

You will not be able to play Killers (which is set in London) unless you have completed episode 1: The Prisoner.

You know you'll be seeing me in London on Tuesday, Ben. That trilogy is as addictive as this game!

This is going to be a treat for all of those who've been waiting patiently on the coming months.

OK, we're shooting for a 6pm MST launch of Killers. Expect a little server slowness around that time.

Killers is up and playable in London.

Thanks go out to Michael Bagen (John Hale) for yet another amazing piece of literature. These things really are an enourmous amount of work, so please send a word of thanks to him if you enjoy the mystery.

Good luck, and enjoy.

A great read - thrilling, suspenseful and sad too. Thanks Michael/John, Ben and Sunny - can't wait to see how it ends :)


A few minor (and please note that they are very minor) thingies that hit me (oh, and I hope I'm not spoiling it for anyone who hasn't played, I'll try to be very careful not to give anything away):
- There's a bug in the finalé where it just says "**name**" instead of having the thing where the detective's name is inserted

- I found it a little odd for someone who has played the other feature that there was no familiarity with people "I" had run into before (you know the people I'm talking about). Just something like "we meet again, detective" instead of appearing as complete strangers given our "history"

- Also I almost wanted to hit my detective over the head with something to make her stop being so dense in relation to the "HC". And when she finally got it dragged out of someone there was again no spark in the back of her memory.

- Also in relation to the female detective, I didn't feel particularly flattered at being called "boyo" or "young man", but I know it's difficult with a first person narrator and having both boys and girls having to play the part.

- In the first cut scene there seemed to be a little mix-up between the Hand and the Children, or maybe I just read it wrong.

- But what I didn't really get was the info at City Hall in that it seemed to make a bunch of references that hadn't been initiated previously, so I'm wondering if maybe it was a bug, or I had forgotten to ask someone something.

- In relation to the sad parts, why why why and won't some of it seem peculiar for furture reference? ;)

- Last thing is the pictures, and here I'm thinking about one in particular, but maybe that has something to do with something that I don't know and shouldn't speculate about, but it just well if it is then I can understand but have a tiny problem with why "I" didn't "see" - if you get what I mean.

Hope I haven't spoiled anything and if so please delete my post.

Or and I wasn't trying to nitpick or take anything away from it being a great read. It was just some things that made me go "hmm" and that you might find useful for something.

Buttom line: it was very thrilling :)

Greyling I have not played either yet (I am waiting to do all three at once) but I see no spoilers there that give any bit of useful plot bits or harmful to enjoyment issues.
