I am an avid game player and artist. I absolutely love looking at the older Swedish buildings and finding my way around and through them and seeing the sights. They are doing great with the story line. It is great not to know how it will end until the very ending! And its usually a twisted (up to fate) and realistic human story that makes it poignant. Quite sophisticated but easy enough to use for any aged player to get something out of it since it runs quickly and intuitively enough. I am used to graphic effects and I found the real pictures refreshing and so very beautiful but still you have to work to find things at times, which is nice. :)

I've been a huge fan of these games for quite a few years, and enjoyed this article immensely. Wonderful to see how the husband and wife team have followed their creative dream to produce these intriguing and unique games. When I hear that familiar music play, I get a thrill, knowing I'm in the game zone! I love every aspect of the games and hope someday the team will expand so that we can enjoy more of them. I can only hope I live until next Autumn...

I am excited to see this article! I found the Carol Reed Mysteries on line by chance in March and I have now completed three of the games. I keep looking for this type of game, but nothing seems to match the scenery or the intrigue. I feel like I am taking a trip abroad to a new country...sometimes it is hard to come back to the US. I will be ordering Hope Springs Eternal and waiting on the newest release! By the way...I am an American woman over 40 ;>)

Very enjoyable interview. I'm a big fan of MDNA-Games. They are realistic, gritty, sad, eye-full, thought-provoking, dramatic, and allow US gamers to see parts of Europe we would never probably ever see. Plus the added tease of romance mixed in-between makes up for adventure gamers being deprived of learning what really happened between Gabriel and Grace in the now defunct but brilliant GK series by Jane Jensen.

A nice interview. It's so great to see independent developers having so much success - the Carol Reed games are going to get a broad release here in the German-speaking area.
And I also found it interesting to see that a married couple is behind the games, it reminded me of "the Wimmers" who produced "Amber: Journey's Beyond" about 10 years ago. I wonder what they are doing today...
