Hi! I'm not in but thanks for your generosity.
"What makes a Point & Click Adventure work for you?"
easy to play but challenging, 0 boring tutoriales, low hardware requirements,.
"Is it the puzzles, the story?"
65% story; 35% puzzles
"Which have you found worked well for you, and which failed in your opinion?"
talking about new point n clicks? TOMI works great. I don't know why many people hate the new sequiles. Maybe monkey island is is a giant weight and hard to carry on but works great for me. on the other hand Whispered world has dissapointed me. A bug with an orange at the begining of the game (the item has dissapeard and I couldn't take it) and the cliché main characterer hated by everyone and his negative sentences maybe were a bit repetitive for me. The game looks great but I was expecting a bit more.
"What are your favorite P&C's?"
Monkey island sagas and Grim fandango, by far.

RenKalan is in for it so I am definitely going to hold off and even trying to get it here. I've added it to my WL though, now, at least!

If this game is half as good as other Daedalic Entertainment games I've played (The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, Memoria, The Whispered World, Deponia, The Night of the Rabbit) then I guess it's a solid adventure experience.

I'm quite a bit more interested in trying The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav and Memoria first of all. If I like them well enough whenever I get them on top of whenever I'd get TO them and then if I like them, then maybe I'll look into A New Beginning, but, and definitely even more so since you've actually played those others and have a solidified interest and all that, you should definitely (try to) get it here.

Very interesting giveaway. I wish to take part in it as well, count me in for Edna & Harvey - The Breakout. I have the sequel, but not the original. Kind of a messy situation to be in. I'm holding off on playing the series for now, so this chance proves to be very tempting. As for the discussion at hand:
"What makes a Point & Click Adventure work for you?"
Hard to say as I have very limited experience with point & click games and more experience with P&C - Visual Novel hybrids. In both cases I think the game has to be mysterious in order to captivate me. If it's not entertaining in the sense that it at least makes me chuckle, like the Monkey Island games do, I'm expecting a good story with a lot of mystery.
"Is it the puzzles, the story?"
A combination of both. I enjoy a good story, but it goes beyond certainty that the mental challenge of puzzles is an alluring element.
"Which have you found worked well for you, and which failed in your opinion?"
Hard to say: Walking Dead was especially great. While not much of a point & click game, the story just sucked me in and I played that game for a straight 14 hours and finished it the next day I got it. But point and clicks like Monkey Island worked flawlessly with me, even in spite of really obscure puzzles. These are sadly the only 2 examples coming to mind, though I'm sure I've played more point and clicks besides that.
"What are your favorite P&C's?"
I already mentioned them, so I feel at this point it would be too repetitive to mention them again. :P Sadly only the most memorable of them stuck with me, or these that I have played and completed. Syberia is an honorable mention though. The gorgeous visuals and engaging story are what makes that game series a must play.

The Dig is a game that tends to frustrate me just a little bit as far as the puzzles go. Don't misunderstand, I love it overall, but the puzzles in it are, although not always, one of the things in it that don't work the best for me. While I did figure them out when I played it, it was a bit too obscure, well, maybe just a few times in the whole game even, but, the one being the travel system code-figuring out that you have to do, that just doesn't do it for me. I enjoyed it for a while, the first time I played it, but halfway through figuring out all of the stops I was like "really? more?"
Excellent game still though!

My apologies, but a winner was chosen last night.
Congratulations to Ingsoc85!
I could swear I posted this, but the post seems to be missing...
Of course our resident troll might have something to do with the missing post...

Well, the post numbers are still consecutive, so I guess GoG just ate it, or it never posted. Probably got the circle of death and didn't realize it.

Congratulations Ingsoc85! I'm sure you will have fun with "Edna & Harvey - The Breakout"! I guess it is at least as good as "Edna & Harvey: Harvey`s New Eyes".
Thanks again RWarehall for this giveaway!
