Linda Brown: Interactive Story vs Rooms of Memory
Linda Brown: Interactive Story
Linda Brown: Interactive Story is The Other Guys' forey into the interactive storytelling business after their pretty good sucess with the Sherlock-themed hidden objects game, Sherlock Holmes: Lost Detective. Similar to the latter, this game features an intriguing and immersive, romance-and-mystery-filled story where you'll be playing as Linda Brown herself. Meet a host of interesting characters (and you can even date some of them), travel to various locations as you follow the trail of clues, and make important decisions that will change the path of your narrative.However, unlike games like Episode or Choices, Linda Brown: Interactive Story has a gameplay that is a lot similar to any of the games Telltale Games produced. This means that characters in the game will remember your reactions or responses and act accordingly the next time you meet.
The only major downside in this game is that, like Episodes and Choices, there are special "premium decisions" that you can make to further deepen the storyline, but the diamonds needed to buy these special decisions can be pretty costly - $3 per premium decision. Due to this, it might be great to have the option of earning diamonds by watching video ads.
Overall though, Linda Brown: Interactive Story is still a very well-written interactive story that doesn't only have romantic elements but also an intriguing mystery that rivals most hidden objects games. If you enjoy a good mystery with a dash of romance, this is the game you should play.
Rooms of Memory
Rooms of Memory is a classic hidden object game where you've just come into possession of a mansion that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family since its last caretaker, your uncle, has mysteriosuly vanished. Explore your vast estate as you search for clues to uncover the many and somewhat troubling family secrets the building houses, as well as hints on your uncle's current whereabouts. However, the manor won't give up its secrets so easily... it'll take preseverance on your part to eventually reveal the truth!Rooms of Memory is a somewhat simplified version of the Mystery Manor and will definitely appeal to a broader range of players (of varying skill levels). We'd recommend playing this game before attempting any of the more "hardcore" hidden object adventures.
