Carmen Word detective full walkthrough

[@Murofly]

Don't know about anyone else but this game scared the absolute SHIT out of me as a kid, the way the villains run at you just before you teleport is disturbing if not traumatising and the sets are so creepily tense and atmospheric, it still gets me now, even the beeps make me feel uneasy and insecure, instantly puts reality in horror movie mode. I have seen every horror movie worth watching and I find them so un scary I laugh at the 'frights' because I find it funny that anyone finds it scary. But this shit, is disturbing. This game is like a creepy atmospheric masterpiece, the plot is silly and stuff but the bleak environments and the overall dark tone of the game plus my childhood imagination have turned this into a button that can terrify me whenever I press it for the rest of my life. So glad I found it again lol, I wish horror films were this ambiguous and unsettling. It did not help me spell at all, however. It actually made me kind of scared of spelling for years after.

[@iHeartsNostalgiaPit]

hey don't be embarrassed about that, my adrenaline went up the first time I actually cleared all the passwords at one location too

I remember feeling this way when I played the game too! Lol Don't get me wrong- I loved playing the game but man did it give me a little heart attack every now and then...

Well NO WONDER the villains keep finding you. The beeping and whooping from your little machine everytime you win is extra loud. ACME research department should really get on top of that.

[@iHeartsNostalgiaPit]

yeah well good thing that teleportation device gets you out of there quick, but then again I don't want to think about acoustics in those hideouts
