Looks quite nice. Love the art style.

Ron Gilbert's first game for double Fine after leaving whoever the fuck did Deathspank.

It's pretty, no doubt; but it does look depressingly like some kind of awful 'point and click' adventure game. And there's a reason people stopped buying or selling or even giving a shit about that entire genre years ago...

Well, I'm very interested in this. Didn't Gilbert reference LIMBO as an influence for this in Edge/GamesTM? I reckon he did. But even if he didn't, it looks groovy.

I miss point and clicks. A little bit. Not much. But just enough.

This looks ace! I'd say it's more reminiscent of Oddworld than point and click, though it did seem to have some point and click elements.

Quite a short little demo but filled with character. The Cave voice is especially nice. I might read a review or two before deciding what to do about it.

I played the demo last night. Seemed good in a Monkey Island platformer way. Frame rate kept stuttering though, which was annoying. I mean, it was bad enough for me to notice and I don't usually give a shit.

Erm... This is a bit boring and A, B, C, isn't it? I can't see me bothering to play through with any more than my original three choices.

It ain't LOL funny either. Hmmm.

Christ, that was choresome in the end. Thoroughly disappointing. Disappointment that was compounded by an ending consisting of 2 pictures per character. None of the stories were particularly interesting either. Tch.

Verdict: It ain't no Monkey Island that's for sure.
