For the love of Adventure games buy this season , now priced at 15$ , releasing June 5th.

Check my impressions above, it was my best AG last year along with KZO ep3.

I hope people who aren’t familiar with CraZy Swery, will join his cult after this game.

I’m not sure the mouse will be an adequate replacement for Kinect in this title, but I’ll try to play it anyway.

Oh, this is good news, will definitely grab this one. It seems no sale is available yet, do they just pop at 5th of June or will there be a possibility for preorder?

The mouse controls are really easy. I tried gamepad too and it was much much harder and more complex, also less forgiving. So I think the point&click; fans here will rejoice.

The demo itself is rather short but I didn’t scour through all I could anyway, as I already know I want to play this weird game.

As I feared, I can’t play this game on my current rig. Oh well, next month when AMD announces its new top-line maybe…

Incredibly clunky interface reminds z vision days,plus graphics with a horrible color palette,an absolute pulp.

I agree, interface is terrible, a remain of being originally a title developed for Kinect. Thankfully the QTE are extremely simple.

I finished the episodes, it’s too little and incomplete, I hope SWERY gets to finish this someday (kickstart it or something if Microsoft is not on board).
Story starts to coming together in some ways but clearly the big picture is missing.
Tons of colectibles and hidden stuff

Yea the clunkiness isn’t that bad since it’s really easy.

I haven’t yet bought the full game but will this summer.

I have only played the prologue so far but it’s almost like the interface is making a rather trippy game even weirder.  Thumbs Up

You can go back to your boss from time to time for extra scenes,not to miss.

To claim that this ended with a cliffhanger is no understatement. It really got the narration from TV-series down to the letter (The Fugitive anyone?). Is the continuation confirmed?

The gameplay is obviously rather limited in these kinds of episodic adventures, but since this game is filled with a huge amount of extra stuff (clothes, hair styles, exploration scores, health bar, mini games ect.) it really does take the format more or less as far as it goes. It does feel a little like a downgrade after playing the extremely epic Deadly Premonition but this is still a fun game.

It feels like the game is stylistically taking its cues from a number of really interesting movies like for example The Salton Sea and A Scanner Darkly (but made with the sensibilities of an anime). Am I the only one who draws these parallels?
