Would love to hear if anyone else remembers this or anyone new checks it out.Arcane Online Mystery Serial -The Stone Circle (Episode 8) Game Instructions I am a backend programmer, not a CSS guy). Pending a better solution that can outlive Flash's death later this year, it's temporarily being hosted at So for anyone who wants to check it out- or anyone else who played it back in the day and wants to experience it again "correctly"- this restored build is the way to go. So I took it on myself to do some asset gathering and some programming to create a restored version of the functional build. The reason I'm posting about this game now, specifically, 20 years after its original release, is because I recently finished work on a pet project of mine- after the original host site went down some 15 years ago, the only builds of the game available anywhere on the web were all incomplete or broken versions of the game (most notably saving didn't work, which made it a nightmare if you died late in a chapter).

I personally have a lot of nostalgic attachment to it (all other things aside, it was my gateway drug to both point and clicks and to HPL and the genre he pioneered). An old browser Flash game series from the late 90s / early 2000s, Arcane was a point and click loosely based on and set in the Lovecraft mythos, which used to be playable for free on the Warner Bros website. ![]() Download Blue Maxima Flashpoint and play there instead.Īs per the title, I'm curious if anyone else knows this one.
