Sweet, very excited for this!
Me too. I remember enjoying the first game so i might grab this day one on PS4. I think console release is on the same day as the Pc version (amazon de has the boxed console version for 20 october aswell).

I plan on starting thus after i finish doki dokiIve been playing through The Darkside Detective. Its a short, breezy adventure game with riduclously easy puzzles and sharp dialogue. You investigate paranormal activity with your inept partner cop guy. Hes a bit of an anarchist but hes too lazy and good natured to act on it. Good times.
I didnt enjoy simon 2 either :/
That is the point in PnC history where I say "I'm done." Early 3D was so ugly, and the gameplay became awful to accommodate it. I remember playing the demo for King's Quest 8 and thinking that my favorite genre was dead.And i need to beat Simon 3d someday (boy, this game IS ugly) and Feeble Files..

Thankfully things improved![]()
Looks cool.
Man, I wish someone had made a Randall & Hopkirk P&C lol
Dear All,
Can anyone guide me I bet Overclocked a History of Violence is based on a book.
I am these days reading a noven in Urdu Language which is a translation published back in 1980's and I am unable to find any original refrence to the original book or the author.
I request all of you if any of you can guide me regarding the original book.

You mean the ps1 games?Ouch... Those early 3d graphics. That's what I love about cartoons, and cartoony games. Bugs Bunny will never, ever look dated.
Hey guys.
Just got the word out the other day on the Indie Game Development thread.
We announced the sequel to Murder in the Hotel Lisbon! I am really happy to finally start sharing the work we have been doing for the last 2 years (in between client work and other things).
It's called Detective Case and Clown Bot in: the Express Killer and the Steam page is up here -> http://store.steampowered.com/app/711920/
It's the typical sequel. I hit the same notes ad the first one but improve where needed.
Here are some screenshots and don't bother watching the teaser, it's the most stupid thing I could think of doing (even though I love it).

I won a copy of Kathy Rain on Reddit. Might start that next week.
Wicked, looking forward to it!
If you don't mind me saying though, I found the English in the first game to leave much to be desired, so I hope the Localization is improved in the sequel.
Oh btw, you misspelled Length in that final image :X
I know the English version was not the best in the original. We recently released a patch with a lot of bug fixed including a review of the translation. It comes late but at least it is done.
For the sequel we are taking better care of the English version. In the original I made the mistake of thinking me and 2 friends could handle the translation of 50.000 words to save money. Not doing that again.
And the mistake you see on the screenshot was already fixed, thanks![]()

Ch. 2 down, game is rather lengthy but so far I'm still enjoying it.
This happened btw
Yupwait, I haven't played chapter 2 but is the pixeled scene an homage to old adventure games ?
I am genuinely so incredibly impressed by Thimbleweed Park so far (currently on Act 4). After the disappointment that was Broken Age, I was quite apprehensive going into another adventure game 'from the makers of Monkey Island', but I guess I shouldn't have been! Ron Gilbert still knows his stuff when it comes to quirky, self-referential, 4th wall breaking adventure games. The humour is great, you actually have to solve puzzles (unlike Broken Age), and it introduces, at least to me, a new gameplay mechanic in the form of multiple concurrently controllable characters. What more could one ask for?

I'm looking to get back into P&C adventure gaming but I have a hard time finding games that really appeal to me. I'm not really into all these "funny" cartoonish games that has been released the last few years.
I loooove Broken Sword, Sierras Quest-games and I'm currently watching a playthrough of the Syberia games. Are there any more recent games in a similar vein you can suggest? I played Thimbleweed Park and enjoyed it for a bit, but the multiple protagonist setup was a bit cumbersome.

Syberia is supposed to be up today for Switch, and while overpriced, I still want to grab it. Is Syberia a good adventure game?

Depending on how far you want to go, I really recommend Gray Matter. It's some years old, and the 3D models are bit to stiff, like so many P&C from that period. But's an awesome mystery adventure, from the creator of Gabriel Knight. Available on both Steam and GOG.
Maybe Technobabylon or Gemini Rue if cyberpunk floats your boat. Anything by Wadjet Eye is worth a look.
holy shit. they're charging $45.00AUD for first syberia game on switch by itself!?
it'd consider it for the trilogy or even the original two. but just the first game? i can buy all three on steam for roughly that price. :|
Good suggestions. I might give Gray Matter a go. I have Technobabylon and tried it out but I had some technical problems with fullscreen or something. Not a fan of the characters I've seen in Technobabylon and Gemini Rue.
Wich brings me to - why are the design of the protagonist in P&C games always so unlikeable? I got Book of Unwritten Tales, but as soon as I got to play the main character I was put off.
I mean, where's the Woodruffs of this age?

You're using Woodruff as an example of a likeable character? Smh, lol.
