7 Days a Skeptic
Looks like Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw is creating a sequal to 5 Days a Stranger. Good thing if you ask me, I loved 5 days

Sounds cool. Still have to get round to playing 5 Days a Stranger, but have heard good things from reliable sources.

While I *LOVED* 5 Days a Stranger, I'm not so sure I'll be keen on this new title. I mean, part of the fun of 5 Days was the mystery, but unless its done really well, I don't like the idea of the masked killer being some sort of re-occuring villian.
Then again, maybe those sprites will only get used in a Flashback sequence, and the story will focus more on the the mysterious wooden idol. I initially thought that it had a curse upon it or something when I played the game, but then late in the game learned that it was the killing instrument the father used on the twisted misbegotten son. However, that doesn't rule out that it had mystic properties of in its own right, and I certainly hope that's what the sequel will focus in on... Sky Warrior Bob

I'm interested in seeing how this game will turn out. Seeing that the masked killer is doing an appearance in this game, Yahtzee might be mocking horror movie sequels, if you have read his movie reviews, most of them are horror movie sequels.
So, yeah, I'm really waiting for this game. |

I've always been a fan of Yahtzee's games, so I look forward to this one .

For those of you who don't know it yet, the game is available for download at Yahtzee's site.
I'm really enjoying it! The news about the sequel came all of sudden so I didn't know what to wait from it, so I'm really impressed and I like it! |

Hmm... In my opinion not as good as 5 Days... but that's just my opinion.

Plot-wise, I'll agree that it leaves much to be desired. It ends up being too much of a re-telling of 5 Days, just with a new setting, minus the interesting revelations of 5 Days. Improvements I'd suggest are as follows... Spoiler: Sky Warrior Bob

Spoiler: Could someone please guide me in the right direction and tell me what to do next. |

Yahtzee is the most universally hated man in the amateur adventure community, for reasons that still aren't completely clear to me. I found it's best to not ask questions about it.
