I have ambivalent feelings...
It looks a bit like all those games made with "rpg maker"...
On the other hand – it may be a new incarnation of my beloved Monkey Island!

Awaiting some reviews.
This is why I check the site every day - you never know when something new might come along.
I'm loving it so far, I might switch, just to hear the english voices, but the german voice cast is amazing!

The writing is top notch (hats off to the dev Christoph Schultz), there's a bit of dad humour here and there, but I've heard worse. :P
The game simply oozes charm. :)
I listened to the full soundtrack and it is really good, but I had to check the files afterwards because of some little things that bothered me. Well, the wavs are truly lossless, and the only cuts I have seen in the spectrograms seem to be due to some poor quality audio samples, not a lack of knowledge about audio formats on the part of the developer. The ukulele, which was recorded for this soundtrack, is never cut off, for exemple.

As far as audio mixing and mastering goes, it is far from perfect. For example, I felt that certain parts of some tracks were really louder than the rest of the track, but I think I am a little unfair here, as I believe only a handful of people will really notice it.

However, I do not want to sound negative, because overall it was a real pleasure to listen to the entire soundtrack and, given the price difference between the two editions of the game, I would recommend to anyone who enjoys game soundtracks and is interested in the game to buy the Deluxe Edition.

Looks good. Wishlisted.
not sure something about this looks promising
Wishlisted for now as a 10% discount in December isn't enough to have me buy it immediately even though I have Christmas money to spend.
Wishlisted since "Coming soon" news. Will wait for more reviews. But at least from screenshots looks like my cup of coffee :)

Ancient-Red-Dragon: This is the first game I've ever seen that was released on a Sunday.

That's a very bad practice, because gamers have been acclimated, through decades of convention, never to have games release on Sundays.

When I saw this thread on the main page of this forum, I had assumed it was a Necro thread for an old game.
I was thinking, this time someone can't be complaining, because here they are, the achievements, but no. Sunday is bad now ROFL
If I could this might be an instabuy for me as well!

Doc0075: Looks great - bought.
Doc0075, Hi. I saw you already played Cleo - a pirate's tale, what you can tell about it, worth play? How many bugs / glitches ingame you discover in this release?

I've not encountered any bugs yet.
I'm enjoying the game but find that a few of the jokes fall flat. Also, a lot of the characters are voiced with American accents which don't really suit the setting.
The puzzles aren't too obscure and overall I would say that it is a very good game.

I was surprised as well but if you don't want to check for a game on Sunday you could still check forr it on Sunday without missing anything :)
