Ben Jordan: Paranormal Investigator - Case 2

[eMTe]

Second installment of the series, much better than Case 1 imho. This time Ben is called out to the tiny desert town of Dunesberg, California, to investigate the disappearance of a local man who went out searching for the Lost Galleon, a Spanish treasure ship said to be located somewhere beneath the sands.

Developer: Grundislav

Another one to scratch from my "To-Submit" list...

Haven't played it yet, but as far as I can see from fan commentaries Grundislav got better with every single game. I will download it right now to see if that's true.

This guy really knows how to write good stories. So far I played two games and plot is the strongest element of both.

Oh, and he also knows how to create likeable characters...

Downloading part three...

It is longer than "Ben Jordan 1", but I'm not sure it is harder. No real puzzles here and the only situations you can get stuck is when it's hard to find the screen exit (near the abandoned mine and at the sea).

But story and atmosphere are quite good again (even if I'm not sure why the woman called a paranormal investigator to search for her husband) and to be honest I just like the character Ben Jordan.

Going deluxe.

Good news!!! In the old version the game was the worst part of the Ben Jordan Series and the connection to the other cases was nearly not existing. There were also some technical flaws (like the screen exit that was very hard to find).

I hope Grundislav can create a deluxe version that gets rid of all the flaws.

Finished!
