This looks very interesting! One question-is it a "pure" adventure game, or does it have action in it, too? Like where you can easily die...

I've played the German version. It's definitely a 100% point and click adventure with iventory puzzles and multiple choice dialogs. Well, there's one sliding puzzle

Looks like something to really look forward to.

These characters look strangely familiar. Although I have no idea where I've seen them before.

My main concern is if the english version has any of the bad bugs the german release had (since fixed in a patch it seems). Though weird that there is no demo (even german).

"Usually ships within 3 to 6 weeks". Doesn't sound in stock to me.

Dave, at Interact! (http://interactcd.com/) wrote me moments ago.
His site says 8/20, which of course has come and gone.
I asked about the possible shipping date.

His response:

"Any day" is the answer we keep getting, which is why I haven't changed the date.
Right now I would guess Monday or Tuesday at the earliest."

Fingers crossed...

UPDATE: Interact! now says 8/26. We'll see...

I'd like to know too, seeing that trailer, looks like you might need a pretty beefy machine to run that.

40hrs of gameplay in an adventure? I seriously doubt it, if I can get 15-20 out of it.. then thats fine.

You must be joking?! It looks like it's 2D (or a least 2.5D), other genres have more detail on one character nowdays than adventures on whole scene.
