  1. Anyone know where to find requiem of a forgotten shadow? That is the only one I am missing and last time I checked the areas where I get these games it has been taken off for some reason. If you also know the reason why it was remover please let me know because this is my favorite HOG of all time.

  2. Hi, I’m looking for Dark Parables 15 and 16 on iPad, have they stopped being made for iPad? I would have thought 3 – 4 years after publication for PC and Mac would be long enough?
    Thanks!

    1. Hi Siobhan, I’ve checked on Big Fish, iTunes and Eipix’s website for you. And I can’t find The Match Girl’s Lost Paradise or Portrait of the Stained Princess for iphone or ipad. It does seem that Eipix arent doing mobile games anymore, as I’ve also checked on google play and amazon appstores and there are no recent releases from them there either.

      You could double-check this with Eipix directly, just to make sure?
