Mcf dire grove journal entries series#
NOTES: The nature of the early games was such that there was no POV character, and the tagline of the series was “You be the detective!” However, as style and the mechanics of game play have evolved over the years (first game premiered in 2005, most recent just came out a month ago), the POV as an actual character, known simply as the Master Detective, became a stronger and stronger presence through written journal entries and POV comments across the top of the screen in reaction to specific events and/or the player clicking on items or areas. Version: NA – however please see NOTES belowĬanon Point: Post Game #15: The Black Veil There's still the unnatural brand, the dead body, the woman trapped in a storage room, and an exhausted Master Detective who'll end up back at the lunatic asylum if someone doesn't ID and vouch for him first.ĭW: Player acct dragondancer5150, muse acct neverasked4thisĬharacter: Special Agent Darnell Barrett, Master DetectiveĬanon: Mystery Case Files (HOS/Adventure casual game series) - Link to Wikipedia page Summary - Alister's defeated at last - case closed? Not quite. Semi-spoilers for the bonus chapter of Ravenhearst Unlocked re: MCF's origins. Summary - In the wake of his case in Dire Grove, the Master Detective is approached about upgrading his "honorary" position with the Royal Agency to an official one. In Her Majesty's Service ( on FFnet) ( on AO3) The Master Detective hadn't been assigned to, nor been looking for, a case. Summary - Based on events of game #4 in the series. THAT is why I don’t like clowns.” His friend gave a low whistle, shaking his head at the extraordinary tale.

He's heading ultimately back to MI6, yes, but what has him driving east into North Yorkshire is he's headed for Leeds Bradford Airport and got really lost. HEADCANON I'd already determined ( In Her Majesty's Service ) that Darnell wasn't officially on business to begin with for the run from Madame Fate through Dire Grove bur rather he's in the country at the invitation of one of the MI6 guys who'd been his contact(s) when he was in country the year before on the first Ravenhearst investigation, and that he's driving a rental car.
North Yorkshire is indeed pretty much straight east of Blackpool (the MD's just leaving Ravenhearst). The MD says in the diary that he/she once again heads east back to agency headquarters. there is a river or maybe stream just south of the chosen lake next to War Field Ln, zooming in brings up no name on Google Maps, so that "is" Walton River (for me). ** News article on right-hand sleeping bag - artifact was found near the banks of Walton River near Celtic ruins site.
there are small lakes nw of Bickerton, though zooming in on Google Maps doesn't bring up names on any of them, but I think I've narrowed down the one that "is" (for my purposes, at least) Lake Frigid, 53★7'36.0"N 1☂0'29.9"W according to Google Maps. ** Brochures in the hotel lobby - one says "Conveniently located off York Road" and another "located 3.2 miles northwest of Bickerton, N Yorkshire" (LOL that should have been given in kilometers but hey), goes on to say "Popular points of interest include the old town center, Celtic ruins, and a relaxing day of sunning on and around beautiful Lake Frigid". ** Weatherman on the radio in the students' rental car states the worst of the storm is in North Yorkshire, with power outages from downed trees and powerlines between Wetherby and York (clicking again starts over with the pen/pencil question) Why were the teacher's eyes crossed? She couldn't control her pupils!
