Dude is playing mcf for a fecade now

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the location outside the police station literally the only time in the GrandMA games where the location slightly shifts based on where the mouse cursor is? If so, it's kind of a shame since I found it cool the first time I played The Harbinger but it just never shows up again to my knowledge. It's very nitpicky, but I feel it could add a bit more visual variety to the locations. Also, I appreciate your dedication getting the MCF playthroughs up, it's not gone unnoticed.

I've been searching for this game for years!!! Ever since i saw my grandma play it

I love this game. There's also a similar game called The Amulet Of Dreams, which is also a really good game. I remember accidentally softlocking it.

nice vid man!

The mix of original assets and pngs has that charm in the older MCF games which I really like as well

I do think that the future MCF games should revolve around the detective going around the world to solve the unsolved mysteries, it may feel like side stories but a major one.

mr krabs running in the beginning

This was such a good, spooky game. I do prefer the mobile ending, where the Banshee/Ice Lady is restored and her soul saved. The ending was a bit cheese, but. For it's time? Yeah. The Blair Witch influence is strong in this game, and that's not a bad thing. Thanks for posting this playthrough! I was happy to revisit parts of it (and remember how scares senseless I was by it).

aaaaand 15:00 is when I screamed aloud. This game was SO scary!!!

This game scared the absolute bajeezus out of me. Best MCF game they've ever made tbh.

What’s up with that “behold the blind mice” thing at the end of the credits?

I find it ironic that Eipix chose to have the very last puzzle of their final game be a match-3 minigame since they were acquired by a company (Playrix) known for making mobile match-3 games. It was a sign of their fate

I suggest to play Off the Rails from Nitrome its very fun

The sound for this video was running a little late for the first 10:01

2024 👌🏻✨️

Honestly for the last game ever made by Eipix, it's more solid than some of the other HOPA games they made. I managed to guess the girl was Magnolia before the reveal (she wasn't shown to drown with her parents after all) and got excited, then got disappointed when Magnolia does literally nothing for the rest of the game

Hello MCFPapa. Nicely done showing the work. I recognize the mythical creatures: 8:01-8:06--the Kraken in Scandinavian folklore 8:07-8:14--the Leviathan is mentioned in the Holy Bible as "the dragon that lives in the sea"(Isa. 27:1)

Hi MCFPapa, I Just Want to Tell You, That The Newest Mystery Case Files The Riddle of Mrs Bishop is Coming Soon on Big Fish and I Can't Wait to Play the Full Game!

36:20 I've played the Steam version of this game (which is the Standard's Edition), and I can tell you clicking Play after beating the game just skips straight to the secret page. There's no secret hidden object scenes and morphing objects of course, but the game just automatically rewards you the secret page the Collector's Edition forces you to put more work into getting (which ironically makes the Steam version superior imo). I didn't even realize the final page at the timestamp was missing from the journal in my copy until I looked the game up. They definitely screwed up the order of these pages. Also, you're probably right the high production costs and Shadow Lake's low ratings might've contributed to Big Fish Studios being shut down, which is a shame because that game wasn't that bad.

7:38 - The Molotov cocktail situation was quite a bit different, and I get the feeling you know that. It was buggy beyond beggars belief, and I don't recall it being satisfying to pull kills off with, and it certainly didn't feel like it warranted an accident kill. It was "Save Scumming: The Weapon", as the radius of what constituted as an accident kill would be determined by how you threw it, if your target was standing still or walking, and what surface it landed on, making its use inconsistent in a run, and generally not that good to bring in anyway. Saying it's almost never worth using, and then using it in the video is not really irony; if anything it kind of undermines your point a bit as you've found a use for it. This situation would be closer to the breaching charge change, which was to curb the silent explosives trick in contracts mode. This is good, as it now requires more forethought to pull off and you essentially have to interact with the game more now, rather than abusing the breaching charge for easy kills for everyone on a contract. Now, there's an actual downside (taking up gear slots). Even the Ambrose Emetic Gas Grenade is semi-illegal to throw, but the issue with emetics is not their legality in use, it's more their OP-ness in general and how over-reliant players have become across all skill levels on weapons that use emetics. It's a cat that's out of the bag, and one IO can't ever resolve now. It'll be OP for a long time to come, and there's not really much we can do now. If it's any consolation to your worries, the Blue Easter Egg hasn't gotten any penalty for throwing it either, making it a straight upgrade from the Goldbrick as it's not DLC locked. IO are...not fast these days, as this update clearly illustrates. I think you're pretty safe when it comes to balance changes. For the record, that was about the only thing I disagreed with in the whole video, the rest of your thoughts reflect my own pretty well.

I used to play this with my mother and my other siblings damn so nostalgic

Huzzah! Congrats on being a part of the game, dude.

Bit of a stretch, but Madame Fate's final prophecy kind of predicts what happens in Key to Ravenhearst and Ravenhearst Unlocked (whether intentionally by Eipix, no clue). - "7 candles in a still house": still no idea - "a dead man with frozen eyes": represents Benedict, who's basically already dead being controlled by the Dalimars and sometimes has blank eyes like in the cutscene where he draws blueprints - "lets the shadow from the past rise again": represents Benedict rebuilding Ravenhearst Manor - "for one of us, the place will become a grave": represents Gwendolyn (who was an ally of the Detective before getting Eipix'd) being killed again at the same manor I do wonder if Elephant Games shared any story ideas with Eipix or not when their control over the series was switched to them.

10:21 Took the Master Detective 13 years and 20 games, but they finally got to solve the Bloody Mary mystery

That slider puzzle is honestly the only puzzle I've really had to look up the solution in the whole MCF series (besides the piano puzzle in 13th Skull), I spent close to an hour on it before I gave up, there's so many steps lol

The patched in hidden object scenes at the beginning take so little time for a minor reward I wondered why they bothered. Otherwise, even as someone who thinks this is Big Fish Games' least best HOPA MCF game, I'm surprised at how much people dislike it. I might be in the small group that the performances in this game aren't bad, I found them charming. I mainly take issue at how anti-climatic the game's ending is for all the build-up.

Thx for showing the game's easter eggs, wasn't aware there was any in this game

does the villain/heir combination change every gameplay?

Want to join the mcf discord mcf papa? Because I'd love if you joined

Mcf games is best online games.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😚😉😝

Hi MCFPapa, can you please do non-commentary playthroughs of Batman Arkham series? And when will you start recording non-commentary playthrough of Sonic Forces? And can you please return your uploads to four times a week? By the way, can you record the non-commentary playthroughs of Donkey Country series, and other games like The Last of Us, The Witness, Ace Attorney, Breath of the Wild, and also retro games made for NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, N64, PS1 and PS2 and even start playing non-commentary 1-year challenge of Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

😓 'promo sm'

Nice gameplay

Foley Zipper happens to be the culprit in my recently finished playthrough

Crystal Ball was the 1st suspect in my unfinished first playthrough, yet she was the 1st prime suspect, then in my 2nd playthrough, she's innocent

I never even would've known what would've be the picture if Kara was the culprit

My personal favorite Eipix MCF game is Moths to a Flame. Although I abandoned the series more than two years ago, I still remember playing this masterpiece.

more please !

This is pretty much my childhood, at least a whole year of it. I tried playing Tropical Freeze and can’t beat it due to its difficulty. I’m stuck at a boss, but the levels themselves are extremely difficult too. I prefer the SNES games

Haven't played this game yet, but was thinking of playing a Yoshi game for the first time.

I have got a hard copy of Return to Ravenhearst, where More Info isn't shown up. Plus, I liked watching the whole credit bloopers to finish each time when I complete the game 😹

Playing myths of the world

Nice gameplay

I still remember times when I played this game. I remember I first played it along with other five first MCF games including MillionHeir.

This game holds up way better than I'd expect it to be for being 15 years old (which, holy crap, does that make me feel old). The visuals, the audio, and puzzles, and overall atmosphere is fantastical. BFG did a great job at making MCF's first adventure-style game a banger.

You did it with NO hints??? That's insane, my best is 1:24 using p much all my hints. This is crazy and impressive and now I'm gonna do everything I can to beat it lol

Thats my favorite because the music is very russia and have molotov cocktail (the pixel pop music is good like this music)

My childhood (2008 was one helluva year,)
