first!

Nice! Thanks Point & Pixel Adventures to bring it here!

Looks wonderful.

This one looks interesting. Reminds me of the old sierra games. Wishlisted.

There also is no need to use such a low resolution ... I'd say feeling nostalgic and feeling as if you'd play a game from the 90s - including 9 verb interface - is actually the games main selling point and completely intended.

Of course there is - cost. It's easier to make an adventure at that resolution. High resolution backgrounds are easy but having matching character animations is not. There are several games from Daedalic where it does not work – at lest for me – like Whispered World: Backgrounds are pretty, characters are horrible.

I'm glad that there is a verb interface, I'm really tired of the right click to cycle through verbs method and I despise popup inventory. I'm replaying Runaway 2 and I hate that inventory with a passion. It's so slow and cumbersome.

And I wouldn't mind a higher resolution ;) But to me there's a difference between the graphics, which can still be very nice in a retro way (even if I'm not a huge fan of going "retro"), and antiquated, inconvenient interface/gameplay that's just simply inferior. It's like making an RTS game with retro graphics and also letting you control only a single unit at a time, because that's the way Dune 2 rolled, and ignoring the fact it's just tedious and it sucks.

For me, if there is such a things as a good retro game, it's a game that takes the best of the old and new, rather than just slavishly copying the old games.

The verb interface may be antiquated and inconvenient for some, but some puzzles from the first two Monkey Island games could never have existed without this interface. Creativity can make wonders out of anything.

Whether the developer just slavishly copied old games or creatively implemented old mechanics, the only way to find out is still to play the game.

Or to wait for some reviews, if you don't want to take a chance.
