HandsomeDead Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Its one of those point and click adventure games for your personal computer and it looks a little like this.It looks exactly like that, pretty ain't it. I know very little about this sort of think but it is different in the way its story is told, there is no dialogue are even words in this game, its all told with short animated scenes, crunches and bleeps from the characters and enviromental stuff, it all tells the tale perfectly, it almost makes me want to stop using language myself.The puzzles, I don't know how to guage these. You have logical puzzles like moving shapes and all that Layton type stuff and you also have your classic inventory item stuff too, this is where I get stuck. At the moment the last thing I managed to get hold of is a dead/stunned robot cat... I know a dude needs some sunflower oil... WTF is all my console raised brain can manage.I was doing okay at it actually, the game starts out as a single puzzle per screen, you solve it and then moved on. I liked that. Later it does open up and all the inventory items build up with a series of characters that want different items and the little robot man shakes his head at everything I try the items on then I go running back to Halo.In all seriousness though it is a good game and one I hope to see to the end, I think I will because it does have a hint system which is pretty much an ingame Gamefaqs, I won't use it too much though....

Pikman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I had a go at the demo for this, sorely tempted to buy into the full game although i really don't have time at the moment. I would recommend anyone give it a shot though, its beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoobie Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I saw this in GamesTM and it looks beautiful. I hope it comes to PSN/XBLA as I dont think my PC is up to scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I cant believe I'm turning into one of these people, but most recent PCs will run it. I think it only needs a gig of ram and 1.8ghz processor. I really enjoyed the demo and do want to buy it, but it's £15 on Steam and I cannae justify that for a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoobie Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Wont it need one of those wizbang flashy graphic card things - I dont think our PC has anything above the basic Dell one. This is why I dont play PC games as I dont understand it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 nah, it's not doing anything clever that i can tell. Try the demo from here just to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 It seems like I've been looking forward to this for nearly a year, and then it comes out at a time when I'm too busy to actually play it properly. Typical. I've got a week of next week though, so hopefully I can play it through then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 This is currently on sale until Christmas Day. I picked it up as I'd been interested in it for a while, mainly for its visual style and from reading the praise that pretty much all reviews have given it. I've only done the introduction screen so far to see what it's like, but it's really well done. It looks amazing, and like DC says everything is told via pictures and short animations.
