I Love Grim Tales!
Threads of fate was removed due to some copy right issue I am bummed as that is the only game I need in the series and I feel like its incomplete not knowing who killed Jackie’s parents and why.
Hi Tracy,
Agreed, it is annoying when you don’t get the chance to play the whole series through as it was written 🙁
One suggestion I have is to watch the game play/walkthroughs on sites like Youtube for any Big Fish games that are no longer available. Obviously this is not as good as playing it yourself. But it is a way round this issue. And then you don’t lose out on any storylines that may come up in subsequent chapters.
Threads is available on a couple other websites! I got mine for, I think, $4 on SteamPowered! 🙂
Enjoy! 🙂
Hi Tracy,
is it Threads of Fate or Threads of Destiny? I have Threads of Destiny and if Threads of Fate is a different game I’d want to get it as I too love the GT series.
“Go to GameHouse Games, it is there along with all the rest. I have bought over 2200 games from Big Fish, and of late I am buying less and less. GameHouse and GameFools are my main two sites I use now.
🙂 THANK YOU
