I know I am really looking forward to this one. Even though this is an adventure forum, most people here aren’t particularly drawn towards Aura/SR's myst-esq gameplay. Personally, I enjoy all different types of adventures and have a fun time with Aura. I was browsing the SR developer's diary on the official site and it looks like they are trying change the focus a little bit from Aura. There is supposed to be more emphasis on plot/characters this sequel which can only be a good thing since plot/characters were definitely Aura’s main weak point for me. Umag was about as boring of an adventure protagonist as I can think of and that paper think plot never made sense to me. Even still, I thought that most of Aura's puzzles were smart and enjoyable so I'm sure SR will be fun for us puzzle people. As for the game not getting much attention, we still a little bit to go before the official release date so I'm hoping that momentum will pick up as time goes on.
