No voices? It’s supposed to have Jason Mewes and Randall from Clerks doing the voices.

Guessing you watched an old trailer.

If I did, it’s GOG’s fault. They should have the latest trailer.
Actually, I watched two different trailers. No voices.

Do you have a link to a trailer with voices?

Here’s an introduction with Jeff Anderson (the Randal guy from Clerks) including voices:

There’s exactly one ring in the game that’s important (preciousness doesn’t enter into it).

It’s not Groundhog Day (story is much more varied IMO).

Film references include Clerks, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, TLOTR, and many more (and of course loads of Star Wars/Star Trek. Some are quite funny, some less so, some are simply geeky.

Hope that helps, cheers, Dan.

Thank you. Somebody should tell GOG and Daedalic to change the old trailer.

There’s exactly one ring in the game that’s important (preciousness doesn’t enter into it).

Are you saying the guy in this screenshot is NOT referring to the precious ring in the Lord of the Rings?  Oh come on!

It’s not Groundhog Day (story is much more varied IMO).

I don’t know what the stoy is about. I was referring to the reference to Groundhog Day, Bill Murray and being stuck in time.

Advie, it’s THEIR marketing problem! Why not try to see it from my point of view.

I’d never heard of Randal’s Monday before. I click on the link to GOG. I read the text and watch the trailer. No voices. Disappointing. It didn’t occur to me I’d watched an ancient trailer. The fact that Daedalic is the publisher means shit, cause they have published games without voices before.

Gog or Daedalic messed up, also didn’t know it had voices. Steam page has a trailer with voices.

C’mon, Karlok, relax. Havin’ a bad day?

You might as well like it.

Yes, it’s full of references, yes, they might not be to your taste. It’s a full on p&c adventure. You might want to give it a try.

I’ll advise you though, that it’s extremely heavy on dialogue. And that is to say EXTREMELY heavy. Heavier than Edna and Harvey: The Breakout. That kind of heavy.

I’d like to say that it’s strange but quite refreshing.

Chill out and have a session of whatever shooter you enjoy and then come back and discuss.

I voted for A New Beginning. I really liked it when I played it a few years back mostly because it was about climate change and environmentalism and there doesn’t seem to be too many games with that theme in games. I am thinking of doing a replay soon. I have most of Daedalic’s games on Gog but I haven’t played them all yet.

Yes I do say so. The guy is referring to a completely different ring. Which has some resemblance to the “one” ring, i’ll admit. Alas, it’s NOT the same ring nor has it the same effect on its bearer.

The ones I’m really looking forward to are Silence and The Devil’s Men. I was actually unaware of the later’s existence until I read this thread, so thank you thread!

Huh? No.

Let’s get something straight first. I don’t love shooters. I love Edna. I love Daedalic. I love Advie. Smile Hell, I’m sure I could love you too if I got to know you better. You’re one of their translators, right? So why don’t you tell Daedalic that their trailer gives people the wrong impression. Instead of trying to convince me I should play the game or change my view. This is about MARKETING.

Are we having a misunderstanding about the word “reference”? It doesn’t matter that the ring in the game is completely different. The game is full of cultural references to films, culture, etcetera. You said so yourself. I read Daedalic’s description of the game and it says “...there’s that really precious engagement ring”. Precious. I watch the trailer and I see the screenshot I posted. That’s an obvious reference to the One Ring.
