You can skip the dialogue by pressing period (.) like the Lucasarts games.

Really? Didn’t know that. Or I forgot. Or both. Strange choice for a skipping key, btw. 

I’m not saying the voices are bad, maybe it’s just weird listening with the retro graphics

The voices certainly aren’t bad, but not as great as in DoTT.

More partypooping…
There are way too many of those awful a-reno and a-who jokes

But on the bright side, it promises to be an interesting game.   Hope I don’t get killed every 5 minutes. 

I only had one flashback so far. What’s the problem? You can switch characters anytime, can’t you? I hated dying much more.

EDIT: You’re right, I never actually tried to switch characters in that flashback, and now it turns out I can’t. Thanks god for saves.

I’ve put some good 3 hours in and I’m liking it quite a bit. It’s one of the funniest games I’ve played for a good while and I’m genuinely liking the humour in it.

Out of the voice actors I’ve stumbled upon at the moment, I’ve liked Agent Ray and Ransome the best. The overall quality is pretty decent’, I’ve certainly heard much worse in budget games like this is.

Funny thing about that line skipping, as if I’d be playing with mouse I would have never found it. Playing with a pad I found it pretty easily.

As for those flash backs, at least they’re triggered when you’re speaking to someone, so they flow out like a natural part of an investigation instead of them just randomly popping up.

I do find it interesting, that both Ray and Rayes have the same lines. Considering that both are fully voiced characters, there would have been some room for adjusting them despite they do get the same lines of answers.

And I managed by an accident find my book from the library. I wasn’t even looking for it, just sliding the cursor on the titles.

Man! the Music alone is so making feel like i am inside a/the movie
Great JOB!!

Just got the game from GOG. Things are a little hectic here, so I don’t know when I will start. Stasis and Viktor: Steampunk Adventure are already loaded. One might have to take a back seat to this one.

It has been a looooong time since I had three games on my PC that I was anxious to play. In fact I can’t remember the last time that was the case.

I’ve been reading the thread, while not looking at the spoilers. Three things I have picked up are 1.) SESO from Karlok. Death is apparently a frequent occurrence. 2.) Changing characters is not as intuitive as it should be. 3.) Flashbacks are a love/hate proposition per Kuru.

Always nice to know the game mechanics before starting.

This help dialog might be of service

That screen is NOT in my Help file!

EDIT: I noticed just now there are four specks of dust in that Help pic. Help! I’m collecting them!

Nooooooo! Don’t you know that you can never die or make the game unwinnable in the LucasArts adventures? Ron Gilbert would never break with that tradition. Still, I didn’t lie. Yeah, it’s a murder mystery. Play the game and you’ll find out.

2.) Changing characters is not as intuitive as it should be.

LOL! It’s very intuitive. Have you played Day of the Tentacle? Just as intuitive and easy.

But my only issue is that i am loving some characters more than others

Just like in real life… 

I’ve commited to streaming this blind on Sunday so I have two days of biting my fingernails while you guys are having fun with it… So happy it was all worth the wait (though I never doubted it for a second)!
