Donald Dowell was nominated for the AGS Awards 2013: Best Game Created with AGS for 2013.
Great game! :D had several hours of fun with it (although I had to sneakpeak at the walkthrough, the game was cleverer than me^^) I'm superimpressed by the amount of time that obviously is put into the game and the graphics is breathtakingly stunning! If you would be inclined to share your knowledge I would LOVE a youtubevideo- tutorial/timelapsepainting-something of how you did it! :)
The game doesn't seem to run properly on my pc. I have windows 7, after I install and run it, the main title screen pops up but won't respond to my mouse, it just sorta stops there. Am I doing something wrong?

This game is awesome!!! I loved it. The story is great, and the main character is so funny. Congratulations for the amazing work and thank you, I laughed a lot.
Donald Dowell and the Ghost of Barker Manor is an old-style point-and-click adventure game, inspired by the great Sierra and Lucas 90's classics. It has an old-fashion graphic style, totally hand-drawn. The drawings were scanned and colored with simple photo-editing programs. Game interface is old style too (maybe not like current games, but great fascination for old-gamers), inspired by old Sierra and Lucas games (such as Sam & Max). The dialogues, the characters and the situations have a sense of humor inspired by games like "Day of the Tentacle" or "Monkey Island".
STORY
Donald Dowell is a nice old man in his eighties, retired for many years. Donald s life, except for his "intolerable" wife, is quiet. But Donald feels empty. He has the socalled retiree's syndrome : he s bored to death! The only way to cure his boredom is TO GO BACK TO WORK.
After many hours spent in his city, trying to get hired for various jobs, he finally finds his calling: to be a GHOSTBUSTER!
Donald will try to become Bob Delano s assistant (the most famous occult detective in Ireland), be involved in the investigation of Barker Manor and, hopefully, solve the mystery.
