    Thanks for the link. I would never have finished it otherwise. Too hard for my liking but a nice twist at the end

    Just click on it. Steady hands and you will do it. Not a pickpocket then?!?

    Freeze? Nope, just move your device (use accelerometer), to move the virus. If you get to the Bin, you will have to start from the beginning.

    BTW, Could you recommend me some nice HOGs or adventure games? I'm looking for some inspirations, how to use iPhone or iPad multi-touch screen, or other iDevice's components (such as microphone, accelerometer, front camera etc.).
    I enjoyed 1112 very much, because of many nice ideas (safe, radio and other things). Also Infernus: Verse 2 has some interesting ideas :)

    I really enjoyed "Drawn:the painted tower" on iPad. Hog game, with some nice puzzles.A really excellent art style which creates an excellent atmosphere. Very Alice in Wonderland.

    If you look in this thread, I think we all have voiced games we like/dislike. Big Fish makes a lot. Grisly Manor, Broken Sword, Salem Witch Trials to name a few. I need to go back and look at my purchases to trigger my memory :)

    I'm stuck on the safe and about to fall asleep. What a long day:) time for a nap:)

    I played a lot of those games, but for example Grisly Manor doesn't have what I'm talking about. Also Broken Sword is a great game, but it's just a conversion, and it doesn't have so many brilliant ways to use iDevice's technology (such as: multi-touch screen, microphone, accelerometer, etc.), like 1112.

    @scarypharaoh, thank you for this recommendation - I'll take a look :)

    I haven't played 1112 enough to know what you're talking about there, but I will say that most of the adventure games I've played do very little to make innovative use of the iPhone hardware. Most are conversions, and even the ones that aren't usually have a traditional look / feel to them. I don't know if people are just afraid to integrate anything new or what, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find the examples you want. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong.

    In my games I used some of those functions (lockpicking with a screwdriver, watch, hacking the computer, safe, kisses etc.).
    There were such nice interactions in 1112 (myself I love turning off the radio, by shaking iPhone). There are also some great ideas in Hysteria Project 2 (for example curling the sleeve), or in Infernus Verse 2 (opening the door by pushing them with your finger, and crouching).

    There's no question that The Train strays from the norm when it comes to interaction with "mini-games". I loved how you had to get the binoculars, for instance. I actually don't remember what you're talking about in Hysteria project 2 with the sleeve, though I do remember the sequence where you were hiding in the dresser (and how frustrating it was). In general the two Hysteria Project games are among the most original adventure games that have graced the App Store. I haven't played Infernus Verse 2 yet, because if I remember correctly I didn't like part 1 all that much.

    That's great that you like it :)
    In Hysteria Project 2 it was one of the first "puzzles", after you escaped from the first room, you had to open the door with code on your arm, to see it, you had to move the sleeve.
    I didin't like the first part of Infernus too, but I downloaded the second episode for free, from freegameoftheday.com, and it's much better than the first one.

    I remember what you're talking about now. I play way too many games, and sometimes it's hard for me to remember the details :) I believe I actually got Infernus Verse 2 for free as well, so I guess I'll have to give it a whirl at some point.

    Thank you for this recommendation! It's amazing, stunning game!

    I just finished Lite version of dream:scape, I know that it's not classic adventure game, but did anyone play the full version? I'm wondering if entire game is just walking around without any puzzles...

    The Secret of Father Simons is now out on iPhone. Looks interesting but I will wait to see reviews as I have loads of games pending just now
