#Escape from Ravenhearst

[carrioncrepitationsart]

Posted this to my Pillowfort yesterday, probably gonna be cross-posting for just a little

Have I mentioned yet how much I love the Ravenhearst games bc I absolutely love Escape From Ravenhearst in particular, and Charles Dalimar is my wonderful Murder Husband

I adore how the vibe of this game goes from "ok this is kinda creepy" to "y'know in different circumstances I'd think he's hitting on me" to "wait is he actually hitting on me" to "hold on did you just trick me into getting married Charles what are you doing"

MCF OCs !!

Here's the link to the Mystery Case Files section of my OC page! It's not finished but at least I got it all up for now!

But to give a summary; I have 2 OCs for the MCF franchise! I decided on two bc although a majority of the games hint at the Master Detective being female, there are a couple of games that indicate them being male. So to remedy this in my head, I just made two characters!

Hazel Chamberlaine and Jack Bloome are both detectives working for the MCF Agency. They were once married but ended up divorcing after a short period but they are still pretty good friends once the animosity simmered out. They met during the investigation in Huntsville and while the title of Master Detective was initially only offered to Hazel, she insisted on Jack being offered the title as well so that they could continue to work together.

Hazel is my 'canon' Master Detective, meaning she is the MD I envision during 99% of the games (ESPECIALLY the Ravenhearst Saga). At some point, Jack retired from being a Master Detective and is the Director/"Head Agent" of the London office of the MCF Agency.

Here are what Hazel and Jack look like using this picrew!

Escape From Ravenhearst provides an elaborate -- and disturbing -- walk through Charles Dalimar's life.

Mystery Case Files is probably among the most popular low-maintenance games released in the last decade. The series popularized a simple gameplay: finding hidden items, hence classifying it as a Hidden Object Game (HOG). These items will serve as clues as you, assuming the role of a detective, try to solve the case. The Mystery Case Files series probably gained household name or mainstream…

Told myself I wouldn't post the first part of this threeshot until after I finish part 2 because my mom wants to read it! And she wants to read two parts at once! She's the one who introduced me to the game it's based around when I was too little!!

But I opened the second part, and oh my goh it's over 7k, and they just got into the 3rd area of like 5. I just wanna work on it and get going and write.

But I have work in the morning and probably won't be getting a chance to get anything down during it. And then I have to figure out what I accidentally skipped past in the game itself (some interactions, pretty sure I went through the whole toy shop once already)

Also I'm,,,,, debating on who the main focus character will be in the third part (not me completely wanting to swap Sora and Roxas for Vani and Ven to handle it, sorry Xion)

Escape from Ravenhearst Trading Cards if you purchase the game on Steam. Gotta respect our local e-wallet called Gcash as we can easily buy games on Steam with allowances without using debit/credit cards.

Here are some cards I have collected so far:

Hidden Object Game Love

I've recently rediscovered my love of hidden object games! There are so many spooky horror-based games I used to play when I was little. Sadly, upon rediscovering them, I've also rediscovered how horrid I am at them XD. I've been trying to replay one of my favorites, Escape from Ravenhearst, which has a story I freaking ADORE, but I swear I had to pause and look at a guide for literally everything, and most recently I just gave up entirely. I'm sure I'll get back to it, but I wish it wasn't so complex so I could get to the story - or that I was better at problem solving, either way lol

I Realized Something That Makes Me Feel Like An Idiot For Not Realizing It Sooner...

It's Concerning Charles' Death/Defeat In Return To Ravenhearst & Then His "Miraculous" Reappearance In Escape From Ravenhearst. It's Easily Explained If You Pay Attention To Certain Details. One Detail In Particular Is The Letter Charles Wrote To Emma.

This Letter Right Here From Return To Ravenhearst. Let's Break It Down So It'll Make Sense.

The First Paragraph, Charles Is Asking Emma To Forgive Him For Killing Her Or Rather Assuming That She Eventually Will Forgive Him. He Also Notes That He Will Bind Her To Him, This We Know He Did So Using The Soul Machine.

The Second Paragraph, Charles Tells Emma That She Won't Have To Worry About Being Alone Because He Will Eventually Kill Rose & The Twins As Well, Which He Did, & Their Spirits Would Join Her As Part Of The Soul Machine Used To Keep Him Alive & Keep Their Souls Bound To Him.

The Third Paragraph, Charles Mentions That The Locks Will Keep Them Bound To Him But They Won't Last Forever & Will Eventually Rot Away But He Has A Way Of Preventing This. The Way He Does So Is By Using The Machine To Pass Between The World Of The Living & The Spirit World Or As He States "Remain Within The Void." He Uses The Souls Of Rose & The Twins Who Are Bound To Him To Traverse The Path Between So He Can Spend Time With Emma In The Spirit World, Who Is Also Unfortunately Bound To Him & Therefore Unable To Move On.

The Fourth Paragraph Mentions Victor, Who Charles Tasks With Taking Care Of The Upkeep On The Manor. Victor Obviously Has Used The Machine As Well, Considering He Has Lived Over 100 Years, Taking Care Of The Manor For His Father.

And The Final Sentence, Charles Gifts Emma The Locket.

Now, Here's How This Detail Makes Charles' Reappearance In Escape From Ravenhearst Make Sense.

In Ravenhearst, The Detective Finds The Pages Of Emma's Diary & In Doing So Figures Out What Charles Did & Frees Emma's Soul From Charles. Though The Attachments Cannot Be Seen, It Can Be Assumed That Emma Was Also Hooked Up To The Soul Machine, Which Is How Charles Had Bound Her In The First Place. It Is Also Possible The Locket Played A Part In The Bounding Of Her Soul Because The Spirits Can Use It To Help The Detective In Escape From Ravenhearst.

In Return To Ravenhearst, The Detective Goes Back To The Manor After Finding Out Charles Was Still Alive & Rose & The Twins Were Still Trapped. Using Her Intuitive Skills, The Detective Manages To Also Free Rose & The Twins From Charles & Shut Down The Machine. However, Shutting Down The Machine Essentially "Kills" Charles Because The Souls That Were Keeping Him Alive Are No Longer Bound To Him & Shutting Down The Machine Causes It To Combust, Destroying The Manor & The Complex Beneath It With Charles Inside.

But He Comes Back In Escape From Ravenhearst... How Is This Possible You Ask? Let Me Explain. When Charles Realizes What Has Happened, He Calls To Victor & Orders Him To Use His Time Machine That Is Nearby To Travel Back In Time.

Victor Travels Back To 1895, The Year Charles Kills Emma & Traps Rose & The Twins, & They Hatch A New Plan. They Start Building The Trap For The Detective In Addition To The Original Plan Of Trapping Emma, Rose & The Twins, Victor Having To Avoid His Past Self At The Same Time.

When The Time Comes To Pass Once Again For Charles To Be Defeated, How Is He Not? He Never Was. When The Detective Shut Down The Machine, It Essentially Cut Off His Means To Pass Between The Living World & The Spirit World, Trapping Him As A Spirit. Then When Charles & Victor Created The Soul Machine 2, Charles Was Granted A Physical Body, Using The People They Kidnapped To Do So, Also Eventually Using Those People To Resurrect Emma, Rose & The Twins & Luring The Detective Into The Trap.

So Charles Manages To Come Back Cuz He Never Really Died. He Was Just Trapped As A Spirit When The First Soul Machine Was Destroyed & Was Granted A Physical Body Again With The Help Of The Second Soul Machine, Created After Victor Went Back In Time.

This Also Explains How Charles Dies For Real In Escape From Ravenhearst. He Is Physically Alive & Not Traversing Between Anymore.

I Feel Like An Idiot For Not Realizing This Sooner. I Guess It's Time To Get On The Ball On Playing The Series Again So I Can Get To This Point.

i started escape from ravenhearst and it's sooooo much harder than return to ravenhearst. i really like all the callbacks to rtr in this game (all the locations being the same but dilapidated, seeing destroyed remnants of the puzzles you had to solve in rtr) but honestly the whole "moving object" thing is really fucking hard and not as enjoyable as the find-and-click i spy puzzles that were the basis of rtr. like it's just visually difficult to see which objects are changing, i have to look REALLY closely at stuff that not even interesting, whereas in the second game when i had to look really closely there was a bunch of weird interesting stuff to look at at least. like i'm v into the lore and the other puzzles are still really good, it's just every time i see those sparkles i get a sense of "ugh i have to do this again", whereas in rtr i was sooooo excited everytime i got to play i spy again

[mwagneto]

me: ugh why aren't there any videogames with some good old homoerotic villain/protag enemies to lovers plots😔😔

escape from ravenhearst: *does... that*

me: Actually Never Mind

[sasiak-deku-scrub]

I've been replaying the Mystery Case Files series for over a week now. My favorites are Return to Ravenhearst, The 13st Skull, Escape from Ravenhearst and Fate's Carnival ^^ The newer games look kinda... off, and the series is pretty obscure, but it's still lots of fun! This guy is the detective protagonist of the series, his face is never shown, so leave it to your imagination

Mystery Case Files 21: The Harbinger commentary and review, part 2.

outSpoiler free review first: Holy SHIT GRANDMA studios, talk about knocking the ball out of the park. Not only was that a solid good MCF game to start off with, you’ve now set up the expectation for the next game so high, I’m honestly a little afraid for you. Like... do you know how high the bar is now that you’ve hinted about the content of the next game? Right, coming back to Harbinger for a second. Barring one tiny little slip up which I think was just something that got lost in translation (English is like that), the lore of MCF managed to stay intact, which needs to be applauded. At one point, I almost questioned if there might be almost too many references, especially with that happens to the references in the game itself. (Yes, I, the MCF nerd and fanatic, actually had that thought). I still flip-flop a bit on whether this was a good execution, or a good but shaky execution. For one thing, the way it’s executed... wow, that’s some heavy stuff emotionally. Which is why I’m questioning if that’s “good”, because I suppose there was a line of emotional heaviness I didn’t expect we’ll cross in MCF, but GRANDMA took it there. And so far... part of me is guiltily okay with it, but wow... The studio’s art style does suggest that a detraction from from MCF’s usual Elizabethan English Horror Story with a side of Soul Steampunk and Celtic Druidism would not necessarily be a bad thing. That GRANDMA chose otherwise though, and stuck with a very, very MCF story (albeit more limited to the Celtic legends part), takes guts. What I do wish we’ll get, after the next game, is a story line that’s a GRANDMA original, sort of like Eipex’s the Black Veil, because I think the studio has potential in creating something that’s more them without pulling away too much from MCF. Anyway, that’s the spoiler free review part. Back to my spoiler filled commentary!

Aisling: I know I act suspicious, but I’m just a psychic! MD: I know I’m just a detective, but people keep dying around me, so hey, we’ve got that in common. Aisling: James gave me this cube by the way-- huh? *Emblem of MD appears* ...I’m sorry, that ancient celtic emblem... has a bloody hat. It has a bloody hat. I’m DYING.

Realized I jumped back too far to do this retroactive commentary. Oops.

MD: Okay, well, maybe he isn’t dead yet. We could probably dig him out-- *Nigel turns to bone* MD: ...Never mind. He’s beyond saving. Someone get the coroner!

Six thousand mirrors in the room, and not one shows your face. MD: A technique I have perfected over the two decades of my career. Didn’t save you from getting married to a homicidal madman though. MD: ...I don’t think he picked me because of my looks to begin with.

...Hey MD, I know paper work wasn’t exactly involved and all, but did you actually divorce Charles, or did you just betray him? MD: *DEATH GLARE* You know what, pretend I never asked. MD: You’d better.

MD: Let’s see what skeletons Nigel has in his closet. You know, the last time you found skeletons in a closet, quite literally... MD: Shut up, I was trying not to think about that! (This happened in Key to Ravenhearst. The Skeleton was Charles and Victor.)

Okay, so James was a MCF fanboy, Marge you met on one of your American trips, Nigel was a Fate Carney, John worked on a restored Ravenhearst. I don’t want to say her Majesty might have under exaggerated the number of keywords there were going on here... MD: Oh no, she definitely made it out to be less important than it seemed. She also definitely sent me in because the report she’s going to get out of this is going to be spectacular. The idea that HRM might be the ultimate MCF fan in-universe tickles me with delight. MD: And fills me with utter dread.

Nigel’s shadow puppet theatre: I got fired from the carnival! Boo! MD: Nigel, getting fired from Fate’s Carnival probably saved your ass. Temporarily, until whatever is going on here got you. MD: .................... What? Oh... MD: Yeah. Oh geez I’m looking forward to the case after this now! 8D MD: Why is it that the more I’m tortured, the more gleeful you are?

*Telephone rings* MD: Hello? Marge: HELP ME SOMETHING IS HERE AAAAHHH Well shit. MD: Yeah, she’s done for. Let’s go see the body.

*Gibs collects collectibles before going to body* *I die laughing because that’s my priority too*

MD: Oh no Marge I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you in time... ...Yeah right, says the person who doesn’t want to get their hand on the black stuff. MD: Look, my sorrow doesn’t in anyway override my desire for hygiene, okay? Reminds me of that one time I called some detectives from the last century dandies for refusing to stick their hand into a barrel of rainwater...

MD can I point out how you’re making detailed sketches of MARGE’S BODY in your journal? MD: Look it’s this or pyromania, okay? Don’t judge me. Also, I’m starting to think people that meet you on your cases shouldn’t bother locking their diaries. You always manage to crack them open.

Marge: Oh James is such a darling, I should get him to marry my daughter, then I’ll be such a happy mother-in-law. .............................. MD: ...................... Well, um, I guess Marge was a cougar on the inside, maybe? MD: Yeah, let’s phrase it like that (Restrain desire to make crude NSFW jokes...)

Marge: DAMN THAT GIRL FOR STEALING MY BOY. Marge, seriously, there’s officer Davis. I’m sure he’s just as nice! MD: And not on anyone’s death list. For now. MD: Don’t say that...

Davis: Well, I guess that’s one more evidence against Aisling. HOLD IT! MD: This note here shows clearly that Marge intended to frame Aisling for an attack on her! And the diary entries clearly document how much she hates the suspect. Therefore, the evidence shouldn’t be permissible-- Davis: Yeah, but Marge is dead, and there really isn’t anyone else in town left. *Record scratch* MD: ....It could be... you? Davis: Harhar, look here’s the evidence, go talk to Aisling. MD: Urgh, fine. It’s okay, MD, I was rooting for you there at least!

Aisling: Death, death is all around us! *Flees* MD: Okay, Aisling, that’s really not helping and only making you more suspicious! But since you’re away, I’m going to rifle through your trailer. Um, now who’s suspicious???

Hm, you know, this place would have been great for a holiday spot. MD: I don’t know, given my records with holidays... ...True, you’ll probably end up doing exactly what you are doing now. MD: That said, I think I’ll take a slice of apple pie since no one’s looking. Does the agency pay for your food on your cases? MD: They’d better because I’m giving the recipes to Her Majesty if they don’t...

Aisling: I came here to save John but he’s locked upstairs, please help! MD: Um, if you had let me come with you... maybe some time could have been saved? Aisling: But what if I get killed first then? MD:........ She’s got a point. MD: Dammit, fine...

Hm, so John’s ancestor worked on the original Ravenhearst... We’ll probably need to open up the original game to see if that was the guy that fell from the construction site. (My guess is it’s not, because that carpenter was originally meant to be Rose Summerset’s husband, so it should have been Summerset. Plus Rose’s kids were the twins and Victor.)

Oh damn, a model of Ravenhearst-- MD: Hm, it’s missing a weather vane. ........... MD: Look, just because I burn the place down several times, doesn’t mean I don’t care what it looks like, okay? Can you point out the window that you escaped out of by any chance? 8D MD: *sighs* This one...

Aisling: John, NOOOOOO. MD: Right, gotta cut him down quick! He might still be alive. *Proceed to spend over minutes solving puzzles* MD: I swear, this happened very fast in actuality... Never as fast as the plot demanded though...

*Puts weather vane on model* *Model turns into a raven* MD: ???????????????? Okay, I need to take points off for THAT ridiculous transformation and animation. XD

Aisling: I can’t take this anymore! MD: I know this is hard, Aisling-- Aisling: Here’s the next slab, btw. ....This mood whiplash... I’m dying.

Um, so apparently the banshee wasn’t trying to destroy the world, but was trying to restore herself, which... you disrupted. MD: Look, Allison and her friends needed rescuing okay? I couldn’t just sit idling by. ...If that was disrupted, then how DID Aisling turn human then??? MD: .....Let’s save that mystery for another time because I feel a headache incoming... (Fix edit: It seems to imply that the ritual was only disrupted, not failed, so Aisling did get her skin back, though now she doesn’t remember being a banshee...)

Aisling: I’m a banshee? That’s... That’s impossible. MD: Well, I’ve been through a lot to say most impossible things are actually probable in reality, though if you somehow don’t remember me shoving you back into the cave, um, then I’m grateful. Once you do, please don’t kill me. BTW, your turn on the cube of mystery!

Aisling: Well, if I’m a banshee, I guess I should go back to Dire Grove. We can catch the next ferry. MD: You know that’s a really long trip right? It might take us the better half of a day-- Or a single puzzle’s worth of time. MD: ...Where was THAT kind of fast travel all these years??? I do like how it’s implied that you guys had a huge detour with picking people up and dropping them off though.

Ais: Okay, we’re here in Dire Grove-- AH! MD: Wow, even nature is saying NO to you. Ooooooor it could be a certain immortal druid-- MD: Please don’t. It’s fine! We have a banshee. MD: All she does is predict death! Oh yeah, forgot about that...

*Aisling gets “kidnapped” by green energy* Gibs: That can’t be healthy. MD: That’s honestly pretty normal at this point for us. At least she didn’t get dropped down a tube.

Um, what’s with the Chinese incense in a Druid’s domain? X’D (I’m going to pretend they traded that...)

(I honestly don’t have a lot of stuff to comment on in the section in Dire Grove, because there isn’t much to snark about. Which, I guess, comes to show that 99% of silliness comes from MD dealing with PEOPLE, alive, dead, revived, or otherwise not really a human.)

*Aisling goes back to banshee form* MD: First, no hard feelings about last time, right? Aisling: *stares* MD: Please, thank you, and I’m sorry??? Aisling: You did help me out, so I guess it’s fine. MD: *sigh of relief* BTW, four people technically did DIE though in the process. Aisling: Um, that wasn’t me, if you recall your lore correctly. MD: True enough, but STILL. Just pointing it out. You want her to scream in your ear? She’s still got time for that.

Aisling: BTW, this energy is still floating about. And I think I know why. Will you accept this energy and use it to save the world? MD: Oh hold ON a minute. You want ME to do WHAT? Aisling: Save the world. You heard what I said. MD: Okay, listen. I started this detective job mostly because I thought it was cool... (MD’s going to be at this for a while. Are you going to listen, Aisling? A: To be honest, I’ll probably stop around the part where MD apologized for shoving me back into the cave... By the way, want to hear my part of the story on how I turned back into a banshee? Sure!) *****************************************************************

HOW AISLING BECAME A BANSHEE, AGAIN. Aisling: To make a long story short, there was a lot of puzzles Puzzles which you had to personally solve, without MD’s help? Aisling: It really makes you appreciate how hard MD has had it for the last 21 years...

Did... did you just KILL four people to restore your spirit? Aisling: I just helped their soul cross over! I swear! Aisling, you’re being really SUS right now and I’ve practice how to spot a liar lately! Aisling: I only predict deaths! And then find the souls and tell them where to go. I swear that’s my task. EVERYONE VOTE AISLING AISLING IS THE IMPOSTER

Is one of your abilities literally “summon joyride”???? Aisling: it’s a carriage A carriage can be an awesome joyride if you use it irresponsibly Aisling: How does MD tolerate you? They don’t, they’ve just had worse company and I’m a lesser evil. 8D

Aisling (actually Gibs): *suffers through the last giant super puzzle* ...Yeah, REALLY makes you appreciate what MD goes through. Aisling: Is it always this bad??? Sometimes. I’ve seen worse.

Gibs: THAT CARRIAGE IS BADASS. See, I told you it was a joyride. Aisling: You know, I think I’ll float back to the MD. No joyrides. Awwwwwwwwwwww... Okay, now let’s rewind back to when MD started their rant. **************************************************

Aisling: BTW, this energy is still floating about. And I think I know why. Will you accept this energy and use it to save the world? MD: Oh hold ON a minute. You want ME to do WHAT? Aisling: Save the world. You heard what I said. MD: Okay, listen. I started this detective job mostly because I thought it was cool, and it was for the first couple of cases where all I had to deal with was bust the criminal organization STAIN and recover the Hope diamond for the Queen. But then that’s where all my trouble started because she sent me to this creepy manor which turned out to be a prison to not one, not two, but FOUR ghosts. What’s even worse is the first time I went, I thought I only had to rescue Emma. I was wrong, and for the longest time, I thought Fate Carnival folks were dying from my mistake. Turns out later it was completely personal. This was everything that happened before I met YOU. (Again, really sorry about kicking you back into the cave and getting you stuck in the situation you were in in the last who knows how many years...) Afterwards, I went to the Louisiana which got me on the bad side of a certain ghost pirate, who turned out to be the grandfather of the guy killing the carney folks from his mother’s side. Which was why he was killing them by the way. She sold him to Fate’s Carnival. Anyway, after figuring out that I’ve dun goofed, I went back to Ravenhearst manor, which turned out there was a WHOLE OTHER SECTION I didn’t discover last time, which was somehow a very personalized and twisted marriage proposal that I didn’t notice until too late. I burned THAT down for good measure before taking a break in some place near a lake. But then that guy’s FATHER took up issue with what I did, which I didn’t even started, to be honest. He tried to kill me for whatever grudge it was that he had. I had to stab his horocrux with my badge to get him to stop that time. But then it turns out that father ALSO has some offspring here in Dire Grove, and I had to come back to prevent THAT from going down in flames as well. Thankfully, I think they remained sane. I can’t say the same for the twins, who turned out to be the evil guy’s kids. They most definitely went insane, and REMADE Ravenhearst, which I had to burn down for THE THIRD TIME. All that plus the jump I took landed me in an asylum, which turned out to be the one where both the evil bald guy and his dad was imprisoned once upon a time. Of course, the guy’s father tried to kill me, AGAIN. Took care of that, and also removed the shard that was driving me bonkers. It only gets worse from here though. I got chased around by an woman with a clock for her heart who I had to defenestrate out a clock tower. She didn’t stab me, but then the guy who probably ENGINEERED MY ENTIRE LIFE did, because apparently he wanted to use my soul’s virtue to anchor death to the mortal world or something. I got an immortality feather out of that, I guess, so it wasn’t too bad, but I basically DIED. And then afterwards there was that undead guy who was really hung up about his biker jacket. Next was the evil guy’s ancient youngest son nearly destroying the world (4th wall break: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT) trying to revive him which thankfully DIDN’T HAPPEN BECAUSE OH GODS I WOULD HAVE DIED FOR REAL ON THE SPOT IF IT DID, FEATHER OR NOT. Then a creepy woman in a mirror had to be locked back into the mirror dimension. And that’s when my agency had a fucking SECURITY BREACH which turned out to have been in the making for YEARS. And then the pirate guy came back and nearly enslaved me. I had to blow up his ship and exorcise him from this world. And AFTER all of that, I was finally sent to Blackmoor, where I met YOU, and also saw a bunch of people marginally related to me die from a cause we still don’t have any answers for. *DEEP INHALE*

Aisling: Okay, so your point is.... MD: My POINT is.... out of ALL the sane and wholesome people in the world who don’t have ANY BAGGAGE whatsoever, why do I, the Master Detective, have to be the one to save the world here-- Charles: Hello. MD: *SCREEEEEEECH*

CHARLES IT’S BEEN FOREVER-- wait, you’re not here to serve the divorce papers are you? Charles: Of course not. I’m asking MD to come back home with me. MD: WHAT?! Charles: Where else would I welcome you back to? *Evil cackle* ......... 8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D Aisling: ........... :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| MD: .................D:< D:< D:< D:< D:< D:< D:< MD: Aisling, hand that energy over, I’ve a WORLD TO BURN.

I have to point this out... the last time we saw Charles IN THE FLESH in game, was Escape from Ravenhearst, which was NINE YEARS AGO, likely TEN by the time Crossfade comes out. Happy Tenth Anniversary of your wedding, Master Detective? 8D

MD: AS IF.

Emma Ravenhearst and Charles Dalimar sketches

The White dress with those rose-like hair clips was seen in the Escape from Ravenhearst.The rest of dresses are seen in the first Ravenhearst game in her pages.

Charles is probably the most difficult character for me to draw. Mostly because I don’t often draw male bodies/characters.
