I make it a regular habit of checking GoG at least a couple of times a week (even if I'm not a regular in the forums), and I saw this on the main page. I did a little reading and was charmed by the art style and presentation of the game, and being an adventure game fan, was a little sad that I missed out on it until now. So here's to (hopefully) good games and GoG for bringing forth games I may have otherwise never played.

Anyone else miss this until now? Apparently it was released sometime back.

i played it last year and its very good. Its a comedy game, so if you enjoy nerdy references to other films/books/games, then its quite funny in addition to being a solid lengthy adventure :)
I think most people probably overlooked it because i dont think they were selling it on any major online distribution until now.

It's a great game and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys adventure games. It's superior to for example the new Telltale games.

Well, in the past I've missed alot of the games I now buy at GoG :D

That's one of the reasons I subscribed to the newsletter - I get (as far as it concerns me) new games every once in a while that I would otherwise have missed completely.

That goes for The Book of unwritten Tales too. Glad I bought it - tisalot o' pun, yay! :-)

By the way: one could think I'd get game news by STEAM, but actually that one is so damn slow and most of the time completely broken, that I just start it to play a game I already own. Besides I hate DRM... so what's with GoG? Fast, always up, absolutely superior UI and shop.. yarp, just love it when I get the newsletter =)

Oh that's great: I've just finished it and when the credits came I wondered why the fork they write in German there. Eh?

I'm German! So let's look up the developers... "KING Art" eh? Mhm, mhm.. KING Art GmbH.. mhm.. Germany.

Ooooh thank you.. yet another game I got via GoG that was made here and I've played a localized version when there's probably a wonderful German sync available.

*sigh* I wish, at least for games I don't yet know, that GoG would be allowed to offer more localizations. At least the original language the game has been developed in :(

So this is extremely unnerving. Need to look up the developers next time I buy games. And I'll drop the suggestion to get the "original game language" written down next to the title. I don't mind to play english titles - in fact I prefer the english version, because the sync is often very, very bad (like the Witcher i and II German translation - it's aweful) - but when the original actually IS in my native language, I'd like to be able to chose that *sigh*

Oops.. I thought double posts get joined automatically? At least when one is the topic starter.. err.. ok, sorry for double posting.

AquaNox, Gothic... all those German games, but the original isn't available. To all GoGgers (?) we should file a huge pack of petitions and bomb the ones responsible for not letting the original versions language go onto GoG :D
Meaning not only German tho, but _all_ native versions. I think English is a good universal bridge between your own and the original language... but if the original is in your language, why go for English? *sigh*

I've had to use a walkthrough to start...will i need it much...Doesn't seem the starting puzzles like finding the map are that logical

ps..bought it from another site.had it mixed up with the Book Of Unwritten Tales..

There were only like two places throughout the entire game where I actually got stuck... So I wouldn't say that you need a walk-through.

i have a fun time with the game, i got stuck once a while back, put it away and came back to it later and tried again from scratch and managed to get passed the hard part.


the secret to these games is attention to detail, you have to comb over every scene, and every time you solve a puzzle, you have to go back again and comb over a second time. you have to talk to people more then just once and click on things more then just once, until they either can't be clicked on any more or they are just repeating the same description over and over.

all i've played is the demo, and in the demo your limited to two or three locations at a time, so the above method is easier then in some games, where you have like a billion locations to explore at once.
