Default Bone is said to be available!

And there is a form for buying episode one at TellTale

I'm downloading the trial installer.

Click here!

Don't download it or you will slow my download

I edited the original link to go to the Bone product page instead of just to the installer. There's some info there about how to buy, etc. that people might want to read before they download.

Yes. I'd played it before at an earlier stage, though. I'm excited to see how everyone reacts to it.

Yes! I've played the demo. Looks like a very fun game.

Looks like it was just something with my browser. Doesn't forward me anymore.

Eh, once you've bought it, aren't you supposed to receive a code via email?

This was all a bit out of the blue... I normally tend to keep up with release dates and the such-like.

Sounds good though. Downloading the demo now... Looks like it makes it nice and easy to buy the full game if I like it, which all seems like a very good way of doing things.


Right on the tail (excuse the pun) of the Sam & Max announcement as well, so I guess their site will be getting a lot of business due to that. Good stuff.

I think so. But their servers might be a little overwhelmed, considering they just went live. Give it a few more minutes. (You can still play the beginning while you're waiting...)

I dont get it do you pay 20 dollars for each episode or do you pay 20 dollars and then you get all 9 episodes?

9 episodes? I thought there were 3... Anyway, it's for one episode.

20 dollars, eh?

BTW, I see that the difficulty level is set at 2/6. How long is the game?

All a little odd, though, my order's there in the database, but there's no serial or code listed.

50% ready now...

I have to try the demo portion of the game now.
Though I'm not going to buy it immediately if/when the game turns out to be great.

I want my own computer to come from the repair shop before I buy the full game.

Re: price - $20 for one episode. The whole Bone series will be covered in the end but it won't necessarily be one book per game. It's sounding like there may be around 3-6 episodes altogether, but this is something even Telltale isn't sure about yet.

Re: game length - Telltale has been saying 4-6 hours. Obviously, it's going to depend on the player. I haven't played the whole thing yet so I can't comment on that.

Kolzig, my understanding is that you set up a user account when you purchase, so you'll be able to install on a different computer later and play with the same user account. You wouldn't have to pay a second time.
