SPOILER SPACE Do you mean Sesen and Incubation? The part with the darkness and dark figures with flashlights appearing and you frequently die.Very annoying part. It took me a long time to get past that- even with a walkthrough you still have to navigate your way through. I don't remember buzzing wasps. Dying, timed puzzles or tasks in games are the worst in my view, along with pixel hunting. I am on day 7. Did you use a walkthrough? I am using 2 but still get stuck and have to find my own way out of certain situations. Are you finished the game? I am probably three quarters through -it's slow going - so many things to do. If I wasn't stuck as often. I would like to have had more interaction with the characters on Chandler Ave. I haven't seen them since early in the game. >>I started Dreramfall Chapters and stuck already near the start. > >The interface is hard to get used to. > > I will let it pass for a while - Werner's reports of initial bugs > made me decide to wait for patches to come tut.

I am probably stuck because I can't figure out how to interact with one of the first characters in the game. Yes, wait till around Xmas or maybe even before, and Dreamfall Chaps could be on sale. Gog quite often has good specials on weekends and Steam might have it on sale. Mary --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
