just bought this yesterday, after checking 3 shops first that were sold out.. I think someone somewhere underestimated this games appeal and not enough copies got to the shops. It's a great game, the closest to a murder mystery in game form as ever I've seen- a real page turner too. You play several characters in the game, and play both cat and mouse in the murder investigation. It sounds like it shouldn't work, but it really does.. My only gripe is the repetetive button bashing when your character does something that requires physical effort. Nice idea, but flawed execution.

Overall though I'm really enjoying this one, it's basically what all those crappy old 'interactive movies' really wished they were. Each scene/level has various ways that you can react, and this genuinely affects the way that events unfold. If that sounds boring, trust me its just because I suck at explaining. gonna dive back into it now!

Also on a side note, I got a job

first day was today and it was fun, working with some really nice people. ended up doing some photoshop bits and pieces as my machine gets maya onto it tomorrow. w00t

Hehe, my flatmate got this the other day, he says it's pretty cool so far. I haven't really seen much of the gameplay though.

So you're once more just a Mere Mortal?

I agree with you, amazing game, but sadly not long enough... beat it in one sitting, but i hear there are 5 possible endings, so i'm going to backtrack a bit and check them all out.

Well, I was really looking forward to it. My sisters bf got, he lent me it and I was gutted after leaving shit places. Like the book in the cafe, I left it and the guys found it ¬_¬ and I wasn't impressed. I was also sick and tired of the L&R shit, that's horrid and just irritated me.

Definitely going to pick this game up as soon as I find a job up here. Heard so many great things about it.

it does seem to be short, I think I'm winding up towards the ending now. But having said that, I can think of loads of things I want to try differently so it's at least going to get another run through, probably more. Short, but great replay value

I believe it's called Indigo Prophecy stateside.

I finished the game last night. Not a very long game. Took me a few days playing it casually, but its gona leave a lasting impression on me. Just like Omikron did.

I really enjoyed it. It really is a different kind of game, where you care about the characters and feel emotions for them. Really good voice acting and Mo-cap.
