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...

Very Good

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...
