Adventure Game Scene of the Day - Wed 31 January 2007

*Melanie68* · 01-30-2007, 10:09 PM

I've had this game for a while and have finally started playing it (after having some technical/bug issues with a couple of other games). I had heard of the pathfinding issues and while they're tricky, they haven't bothered me that much.

I am loving the story and the very natural dialogue as well as the wonderful voice acting. The main character, Peter Wright, is incredibly likable which is important for me. It's early innings as far as the game goes but I've really liked what I've played so far.

Also considering I haven't been in much of a gaming mood lately and my attention span for them has been bleh, it's nice to feel like sticking with a game.

HAhahahaah... good point. Something went awry with that link, Melanie.

Wow I have never heard of this game.

Can anybody tell me about it?
Is it a new game?

One of my favourites! A few minor problems with one or two aspects of the game, but nothing that managed to detract from the overall experience. I'm constantly re-playing it.

I gave up part of the way through and still haven't gone back to it. Every time I got bored of being stuck and read a walkthrough, I found myself thinking "How the hell was I supposed to realise that?"

One of those games where I never managed to get into the required mindset, probably.

This one is actually one of my favorites. Great story with a nice pace. This game is absolutely recommended!
