Did you know - Aurora was a rumored mid-1980s American reconnaissance aircraft?

I'm at the well- I have an anvil with a harness and an invisible ink revealer. I've used the oil lamp on the string to illuminate the bottom

Apparently I have gone to Norway. Why? perhaps to catch a red herring.

I still say Pastel Games is making a mistake. Instead of having a couple of game titles with well-made installments, they have too many titles with installments way too far apart in time. We're still waiting for the next installment of Covert Front, for example, since... when exactly?

Aurora part #1 wasn't released yesterday either... And, since they (or, mostly "he") have too many games to deal with, there are bugs in some of thze game they then don't always deal with. Here, for example, the



SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
invisible ink "visualizer"
managed to somehow sneak behind the banknotes in my inventory, so now it seems inaccessible - and I don't think it's on purpose. I simply cannot click on it, since it's completely covered by the banknotes. I can only hope I win't need it anymore, so this bug won't make the game unfinishable...

Also, this game seems to lack the atmosphere and game deepness Mateusz's games have been so great at. This one's been reduced to a simple find-the-hotspot-and-click-on-it gameplay, (luckily) not really a standard feture for Skutnik-games... I've made quite some headway here without really having to think.

So, my message is: Mateusz, please, don't try to bite more than you can chew. Your games are brilliant if you put enough time in developing and fine-tuning them.

A hiccup? As a Pastel games addict I was ready to yell ‘awesome’, as usual. But no, not this time. I totally agree with BioLarzen.

This game is a real let down-way too easy and too much story telling and little P-n-C action or puzzles. Submarine series was much better.

I agree with the other comments, this one left a sour taste in my mouth. The first was nice, but this one.. dunno.

Def agree. This game just isn't as good as the first. I felt I was being led through it rather than having to figure abything out. The automatic changing scenes bugged me no end.

Most of Pastelgames' games are pretty story-driven. That's kind of their way. But I kind of agree, this one was meh.

Gotta be fair though, Mat himself is not responsible for the Aurora series in particular. Look at the pastelgames About Us section.

Making these games is also not the only thing he does, if that wasn't obvious by now. :P

On the offchance that anyone ever reads this.
