finished trace memory part 2

What an awesome game. One of the DS's earliest, it's also one of the more innovative when it comes to puzzles and use of the DS's mic and stylus abilities. Once you beat it through the first time you have the opportunity to play through again and learn more about the history of the mysterious Edward family and their home on Blood Edward Island, and you get to find out exactly what happened to your little ghost friend to end his life prematurely. As with many point-and-click adventures, Trace Memory deals with deeper themes of loneliness, abandonment, and loss while still telling the story through the perspective of a 13-year old girl. If you've never tried it, check it out, it's cheap! Plus Ashley and D are both cute as a button, and Bill is Kyle Hyde with a blonde wig on.
