Everybody busy playing "Les Catacombes Rouges

[aquaMat]

There's no new post traffic for 3 or 4 days now.....   :-?

...is that because everyone's busy playing LCR ??      

(In that case: you are all excused...   ;D)

As a general advice I'd like to remind y'all:

Don't forget the tips I have given in the accompanying ReadMe, especially the one about the Westside and Eastside, and - also very important - use your ears as well as your eyes !!

One more hint:  there are at least 2 completely secret rooms....whose entrances are not easy to find. But once you found them, it gives you that extra-satisfying feeling of being something like the first explorer to set foot on those grounds !!

Yes, we are all busy playing LCR! Very fun mansion with some new twists. I came to another dead end and decided to give it a rest for a couple days. Sometimes that helps. In the meantime I'm playing Doldrum Dungeon and am stuck in that one too. :-X

Yup, been lost in Les Catacombes. Really looking forward to getting through it so I can play it a second time and just enjoy the ride

[SandyBean]

You got it !!!

Been Enjoying LCR on my free hour each day since it was released. Great mansion, with lots of your trademark devious passages, and some fun new stuff.  Lots to explore.  

I found the mansion actually got easier the farther in Jack went, with the save pedestals seeming closer together.  For my Jack it was I think between save 2 and 3 that we had the hardest time, and couldn't wait to see that all important pedestal!

Finished yesterday with 82 %, and will be going back in with a bigger flashlight today to find those two secret rooms!!! [smiley=shocked.gif]

Thanks so much aquaMat for creating a new place for us to 'get lost in'!

Great mansion ,but finished with only 84% explored. I found the way through without much trouble as I took advice to look and listen.
I cannot begin to imagine where the two secret rooms are so lots of fun trying later.
Thanks for a well thought mansion with a very nice layout

@ everybody:
Thanks for all the nice comments !!
I can assure you that an average 82 % is really quite good for a first try....so you're all pretty much

in the top range

so far !

As with my other mansions, LCR is constructed in such a way that it's almost impossible to find everything during the first visit.... but that way it offers more fun and surprises for repeated plays !!

That's quite correct !!  I feel the hardest parts are - say - between the start and save 2 or 3....and then again towards the end.

I created that central area with at least 1 save more than usual to counterbalance the hard beginning, and also to give Jack some time to rest.

Hi All !

Went back with Jack's biggest flashlight, and found not only the two secret rooms, but another one that was well hidden and quite fun to conquer. [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

Finished the mansion for now, Jack needs a bit of rest after this adventure!  [smiley=bath.gif]

Thanks aquaMat for the wonderful time, and hope to see more of your stuff soon!

Ehh, I was playing LCR.

Interesting, I got lost so much-- I kept running out of lives and was dying to save in room 19699 but I couldn't figure out how to get onto it.

[Semi-Native]

There is a way, Wingy. Just remember how devious aquaMat can be.
;D

@SandyBean:

I'm pretty impressed with your final

figures

.... 90% is pretty good, and I'm especially impressed with your 23 lives left...    

And thanks for the nice words !!

@Wingy:

Great to see you're still around... haven't seen much of you lately !
Semi-Native has pretty much explained it already...ha ha (=devious laugh)       just look around carefully !
