Game name?

[VernJensen]

After you've had a chance to try the game, let me know what you think about these two possible game names. Which is better?

1) Midnight Mansion 2: Valley of Shadows

2) Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills

Part of the storyline, by the way, is that Jack is relaxing in his retirement mansion, but notices over time that it seems that treasure is disappearing. Then one day, in an office in his basement, he feels a draft. He goes up to the bookshelf and, feeling a breeze, pushes it aside to see a tunnel! He enters the tunnel to find the map screen you see in the sequel. Someone or something has been stealing his treasure, and he needs to get it back!

So with that storyline in mind, what's the better game name?

Valley of Shadows is a name used in Zelda, Ocarina of Time -- I think. It may rise eyebrows. I like The Haunted Hills, it relates more to Midnight Mansion's original theme.

Okay, the Haunted Hills it is. :-)

FYI, the reason I'm not going with

The Thirteenth Hour

(a *very* cool name either Anthony or Alan suggested some time back) is because, it's such a cool name, that I want to build the game around it more, when I use it. i.e. maybe have a clock with 13 hours on the clock face, and the clock is actually involved with the gameplay somehow. So I'm deliberately saving that name for Midnight Mansion 3, if this ever becomes a reality. :-)

It was Alan's idea for Thirteenth Hour. I just backed him up.  Sounds good.
