Finally started reading your story, and I like it very much. I liked the Indiana Jones references and Just found the Gabriel Knight reference in New Orleans, quite funny, since I was thinking about that game the whole chapter. It made me also think of where the water tastes like wine, since that game also has a guitar player who sold her Soul to the Devil.
Even with being just in chapter 3, I think this Story will make it to my choice & HG Games Top 5 or 3.

Thanks for your comment. Iâm happy that you liked it - and also happy that someone got the Gabriel Knight ref, itâs such an old game that I figured that that one would probably pass everybody by!
EDIT: Also, I never played âWhere the Water Tastes Like Wineâ, and I just googled it, and it looks great! Will be playing it ASAP.

Itâs more of a walking Simulator, but I really liked the Soundtrack, and how the stories spread and evolve when you tell them to the people. Be sure to have some stories of every genre with you. 
Oh and I am playing games since 38 years, so I know a lot of the old Games, esp. RPG and Adventures, yeah I am that old

Is there a guide on the gambling in the Red Mountain casino? Trying to get the achievement for it. I tried looking at the code but uhh⌠letâs just say codes and I donât mingle wellâŚ

The casino games are mostly games of chance. There isnât really a way to game them. Iâd suggest concentrating on blackjack, since there is at least an element of judgment to that game, whereas the others (slot machines and roulette) are pure chance.

Also, the High Roller achievement is for big spending, not big winning. You need to spend at least ÂŁ60 at the tables to get the achievement. For âpoorerâ MCs, that means that you have to win a little bit to get your available spending money up to that much, but richer MCs can just blow ÂŁ60 on a single bet and, win or lose, they get a free achievement!

So I have a question (againâŚI know Iâm annoying)
So before I started the Hong Kong mission, my fortune was âRich as Croesusâ all the way. And then I got paid by him on top of it. And then towards the end it says you âpay a chunk of the money Anderson paid youâ to Vera for the info, which is fair, but then my fortune dropped down to Affluent? Since I paid a chunk of that to her, I still should have some of it left on top of my previous fortune, right? I didnât pay her money on top of what he paid me, so shouldnât my fortune at least be what it was before the Hong Kong mission/before what he paid me?

So the screen where you lose that point of Fortune is actually the screen that finishes Chapter 6 and dumps you back in the âpresentâ, after youâve been captured by Nazis. I think the decrease in Fortune was meant to reflect the Nazis taking all the money you had on you - which would include whatever remained of Andersonâs payment - after theyâd captured you. That might not be super-clear in the text, thinking about it.

Found a bug here:
My character has always sold the relics to the highest bidder, so the text reflects my characterâs actions wrongly.
The problem is here:
The politics stats for my character must be between 25-21, so the value donât pass any checks here, displaying the last text.

Thank you! Thatâs an annoying little bug, Iâm grateful that youâve spotted it. I sent a corrected file into HG, which should hopefully mean that this problem gets fixed in the next update,

For information-gathering, there are three stages, two connected and one independent. The three stages are:
- Finding and talking to Vera Wang - which leads you to:
- Learning about the mysterious Westerners asking for information.
- Investigating the Red Mountain casino.
When youâve completed two of these stages, itâll be evening and youâll have to go to the ball. Youâll complete the third stage on the following morning. Completing all three gets you enough info to go and investigate the flower boat, the next main section of the chapter.
To get the fullest info on exactly what happens at the end of the chapter, make sure you tail Tai Fang after the ball rather than McCrea and Maria.
If you want to leave the ball without causing a scene, give up on tailing Tai when Maria interrupts you. If youâve brought Zhu rather than Sam as your guest, heâll be able to sneak round and get the information you need even if you give up. That way you can leave the ball in a more dignified manner than by being slung out by security!

Hey everyone!
This was a little late coming but, in keeping with several requests on the forums and in reviews, we have just pushed a big new update for the original Relics of the Lost Age game adding chapter saves! Now, if you die mid-chapter, youâll have the option to go back to the start of the chapter (in addition to the old option of just going back a few choices), and youâll also be given the choice to replay a chapter at the end of that chapter, too.
We still havenât got endgame saves set up for the upcoming sequel, but weâll hopefully be getting to that soon!

How much of a headache was it to code that?
I had to reorganize all the files to make it doable, which was a headache, but the actual coding was fine, because Iâd already figured out how to do chapter saves while writing Relics 2!
