Here is the homepage. Trailer’s looking good! What do you think?

Yeah, the trailer shows some jumping, but nothing that looks too difficult. And I’m not sure what the teleport option is for. Is this intended for cases when you get stuck in the evironment or in a place you can’t get out of? Maybe you’ll need to use it if you miss a jump?
Sounds like a crutch that shouldn’t be necessary to use in the final game. Maybe it’s only intended as a troubleshooting option as part of a possible beta version? We’ll see.

Edit: Apparently it will be free to download, whenever it comes out.

Wouldn’t point & click be difficult in realtime? Although I think it was Darkness Within 2 which was 3D real time, similar to Xing, and when you wanted to move you could hold the mouse button to go forward, as an alternative to using the keyboard. It was awkward, but manageable. I think Uru was similar, but I found 3rd person navigation in Uru impossible.

But the controls don’t bother me at all, and the graphics do look great. Of course, that alone doesn’t tell you very much at all. If it’s free I’ll definitely take a look.

Darn! The keyboard controls are a deal breaker for me too.

Well, I am interested in this, specifically because of the direct controls.  I refuse to buy Point-n-click adventure games because they aren’t immersive enough for me and the technology is woefully outdated.  Adventure Game makers need to realize that there are more people who would buy an Adventure Game if was realtime 3D with direct controls than those who would not buy an Adventure Game that wasn’t P-N-C.  I am dying for an Adventure Game with the graphics and control scheme of Uncharted or Mass Effect.  Heavy Rain with a little more exploration and a little less QTE would be perfect to my tastes.  Its 2012.  Time as long passed for AGs to get serious. Gamers want more story in their games these days.  Come on developers, make it and they will come.

That does look great and those controls make my heart sink but I can overcome them if the game is good enough.

The Myst Uru games could be played in either third person which had keyboard controls or in first person mode - my choice - which of course is much more work for the devs but would add a lot of value to any future games they would make for sale.

New(ish) screenshot. The graphics look pretty amazing, but still no sign of a release date.

I could see it being like the Relto option in Uru.

The screenshots are really beautiful… kind of Riven-ish.  Maybe the creators will add in the possibility to switch from full 3d to point-and-click.  If I have to use more than a mouse to navigate, I become frustrated.

I look at this and remember the adventure game Qin. Possibly one of the worst games I ever tried to play. And, when the controls are less than ideal, I’m going to give this one a

Thumbs down already? You’ve only seen the screenshots.

I have wanted to try Qin for years but never got round to getting myself a copy (and most likely the old PC required to run it… curse you win7!  ). What was so bad about it?

The game looks majestic. Reminds me of my favourite Riven…

I think that given the choice of using those controls or never getting to see that world, I’d suffer with the controls.  I love the feeling of having been transplanted into a forgotten world.
