Lifestream had a very sombre atmosphere and I think the story was a bit more mysterious. Shady Brook has a much larger cast of characters and larger area to explore with an equally involved story. I loved Lifestream and Shady Brook, but lean more towards LifeStream in terms of trying to figure out what was going on. Either way, both are excellent indie adventures to add to your collection. I believe Shady Brook goes on sale this Monday (1 Aug 2005) if Chris gets the disks back on time from the duplicators. NOTE: This is a GREAT price as well for what you get and Shady Brook is only on DVD!!

With both Lifestream and Shady Brook, I was really wrapped up in the story trying to figure out what was going on. Not many AGs have that affect on me. Chris feeds you little bits and pieces at a time and keeps the curiosity factor high. Harvest and The Arrangement also had this affect, but the endings fell a bit flat - sorry Mike! Either way, both Mike and Chris are extremely talented indie developers that just need to hone their games a little more to make them more commercial quality. I can overlook the shortcomings, but unfortunately most people can't which hurts sales and holds them back from their rightful place amongst the best of the indies. Story, production, and puzzle-wise, they are already there and surpass most.

Your first Scratches demo had decent graphics, nothing spectacular but they got the job done. But your next demo blew the doors off the first in the graphics department. VERY nice and it makes a huge difference.
