So just been into this a bit today and loving it. Might be a bit of a Professor Layton, but hell, I love Professor Layton! And the writing in it is great. The art style has really started to grow on me too, I'm loving it.
Did a little search and noone seemed to have brought it up thus far on its release so... what are others thoughts on the game?

I didn't know it was released already! I'll buy it when it gets on Steam.

I'm pretty close to the end now, I think. I'm also pretty tired of snowmobile puzzles.
I like the presentation a lot. And the puzzles are mostly fun, but very few of them are particularly memorable or inspired, and there's not enough variation. The game was probably worth the money, but it's not as good as I had hoped. |

I just finished the game now. I had my expectations met in most aspects. The game recycled some basic puzzles in order to increase play time and I could go a little more dialogue, but that's all I can criticize. I liked agent Tethers, the art style, the presentation and voice acting, specially Glori and Bjorn, the latter who during one scene (at the lodge) I actually thought he was voiced by Christopher Lee.
Telltale Games can sign me up for more. Spoiler:

Yeah the game was genuinely unsettling in plenty of moments, I loved that. And I have to say when I first turned it on the art was kind of jarring at first, but by the time I finished it I was in love with it. Bring on more!

For those waiting for the game on Steam, it's out now and it's 10% off. Like the version on Telltale Store you get both Mac and Windows version. Sadly, there's no Steam Cloud support.

I do most of my gaming on a separate computer without a net connection. I can download and then transfer across on memory stick but do I need to be connected to install/run the game? (non-Steam version)

You can if you buy it from the Telltale Store, but you have to send TTG an e-mail as they say in their support page:

Informed guess based on previous Telltale games: the standard activation method does require you to be connected the first time you run, but I think there's a way around that involving mailing Telltale support.
edit: ninja'd. Yeah, what HaroldO says.

Great. Thanks for that. I did like the look of this one but I prefer not to install games on this machine if possible.
