Oh man, I seriously wasn't expecting this game until mid-2011. Black Ops is going on the shelf indefinitely. I haven't been this excited since Dreamfall shipped. Very Happy

Trailer makes it look like the target audience are pre-pubescent teens Neutral(or anyone that's into those asian cartoons). Is it any decent?

Downloaded it, manual is German-only but there are "DE" and "EN" folders for audio.
Seems like a disc that was designed for the German market but includes English audio as well.

Nice... the bink movies pause every couple seconds and the game itself makes Black Ops look perfectly smooth by comparison.

Edit: Scratch that, a reboot fixed it. Now everything's fine and I have to agree with Ashok0 completely so far.

Initial thoughts after the first 2 chapters. For what its worth the puzzles are pretty easy so far, probably about the same difficulty as Dreamfall. While I wouldn't mind more challenging puzzles along like lines of Gabriel Knight 3, I haven't seen any non-intuitive, illogical puzzles either.

Difficulty aside, Ms. Jensen's primary draw is her storytelling. So far I'm really digging the rich atmosphere and history behind this game. The story is intriguing thus far and I'm already finding myself caring about the characters. Some of the animations are slightly clunky, but the overall art design, original score, and voice acting seems to have quite a bit of heart behind it. I'm not a huge fan of the storyboard style cutscenes and some of the textures could be higher resolution, but these issues are hardly a deal breaker. Samantha Everett is already filling that void in my heart that opened the minute April Ryan went missing in Arcadia. While I think a few technical aspects of the game could have been a bit better polished, this is probably the most ambitious adventure game I've played since Ragnar Tornquist went MIA from the adventure scene in 2006.

Seems so, on Astra I managed to grab from a.b.ath. A LOT of incomplete files but enough par files to rebuild.

I find it hard to believe it's a coincidence that every upload of this on usenet just gets corrupt like that. Has Astraweb started fucking up pirate games/movies?

Found a German review here:
http://www.gamingxp.com/bericht-4180-dtp_entertainment-wizarbox-pc-page5-gray_matter.htm

I don't fully understand the translation, but the reviewer seems mixed on some minor technical details but really loves the characters and storyline. ~15 hours. 80%.

can't get it to boot on my machine. This takes me back to like the year 2000...

wtf

First I got a direct x error, fixed that by using the dll, next I get a game.exe error

it launches, then crashes

EDIT: fixed it, installed direct x from the disc in the support folder, now it works!

hricky translation : blames game for using old Adventure Tricks like see all things [Examine] to push the story forward , pixel hunting etc... summary blames adventures for having stressful mechanics and not being more player friendly ... DERPS
Laughing see his minus Nicht viel Action = NOT ENOUGH ACTION
LULLLZZZ
its a ADVENTURE GAME NOT A COVER SHOOTER DEAL WITH IT

Yeah... I can see that now. While examining the stupid flowers there's a tiny area you have to click...

I've gotten quite into it i must say.
