Adventure Game Scene of the Day — Sunday 31 May 2015
Today is Martin Ganteföhr’s birthday. Actually, I fervently hope it is… 
I wrote down the date months ago and now I can’t find it anywhere on the Internet! So I’m going to pretend it’s his birthday and celebrate it with a screenshot from Overclocked: A History of Violence, which I think is his best game: Psychiatrist David McNamara observing one of his traumatised patients. I liked the dark and gripping story and I hope Martin Ganteföhr will continue his ambitious storytelling at Daedalic.
See you around, wolf. Nerissa
which I think is his best game
Thanks for the massive effort of doing this 5 days a week for a year! It’s been a blast!

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Thanks for the year of living adventure-gamingly! It’s been entertaining and informative. 
Happy Birthday to Martin, wherever you are. Let’s see—which of these looks the most like a cake with candles. 
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, thanks for the interesting year!
Cheers
Thank you for all your hard work this year, Karlok! You did an outstanding job, and I learned a lot from you.

Regardless of whether it is overclocked or TMoS that is his best game, then I glad you chose this as your last AGSotD, as I believe Martin Ganteföhr is a little bit underrated and overlooked here in this forum.
I would also like to thank you for posting these scenes for the last year. Even if I don’t always comment on them, then I always check what scene you have selected. You also seem to have played a lot of games that I have never played my self.
Thank you Karlok.
You have to play the game, to find out why you are playing the game! - eXistenZ
Out of the 3 later games that Martin Gantefohr was involved with although I did really like 15 Days (just DON’T mention the cougar runtime errors!) the battle really is between The Moment of Silence & Overclocked (as in Advie’s Cage Match which I’m sorry I didn’t take part in!) To me they are both excellent games but I think I favour Overclocked as I found it to have the deeper more intensive story which if I remember rightly travelled backwards ‘Memento’ style?
Anyway I agree with Iznogood that a screenshot from a Martin Gantefohr game was a good choice to finish on!
Thanks again for an interesting year Karlok & your commitment to posting 5 days a week - I of course ‘had my cake & ate it’ as for the most part I didn’t know when you were going to post screenshots from games that I knew you may use & still had the surprise of your mid-week specials + the featuring of newer games! 
Thank you for all your effort with posting daily AGs scenes, Karlok.Since I’m not fan of 1st person AGs and you obviously are, there was a lot of new interesting stuff for me.Maybe I’ll even try to play some of them!
But with so many great 3rd person AGs, chances for that are very slim.
(Well, 31st of May actually IS my birthday). What a lovely surprise to find out about this thread. :-) )
Thank you, Karlok, for a year of memorable scenes!

Yipple - The yipple is a master of disguise, able to alter form to match its surroundings. If disturbed in the wild, some yipples may bite. They make wonderful pets, but should never be allowed to rest in the cookie jar if guests are expected. Yipples are violently allergic to many kinds of animal wastes. - Encyclopedia Frobozzica
See you around, wolf. Nerissa
That was a great job Karlok!
Take your well-deserved rest.
I hope you’ll still be around.

Aw, the yipple description is gone… 
Why the delete/re-add, btw?

Nice stats (I need to start organizing what I’ll post…)
Please continue to add a random Zork quote of the day
I love the stats post, Karlok! I’ll be sure to guard my cookie jar.

The no longer ‘orphaned’ cookie jar image thanks you.
