Aaargh - suddenly aware it's Monday and there's a Squiggle looking hopefully at me

It was a tough one to judge - lots of great contenders. In the end it went to LadyKestrel with:
The only trouble with these is you need a hacksaw to sharpen them.

Congratulations, Lady K!

My sentiments exactly, Mad.

I thought this was a very good remake. I played the VR version a bit back and really enjoyed it. They are one in the same. This is not a remake of the original as you can see if you played the 1993 release but a completely different make of it. I would not miss out on the chance to experience it especially if you did not play the 1993 release. "Who is the 7th Guest"

Thank you Ana

Thief: The Dark Project Remastered

Good one

flotsam, Mad - both good!

SQF - not according to what I've got, I'm afraid. The key part of the question is that it's never used for commercial flights

Thank you very much, flotsam (and Draclvr) 🙂

Thanks, flotsam (and Draclvr) 🙂

I have only played for about 20 minutes out of an estimated 2.5 hours, so the narrative has not yet developed. I am exploring the city of Solis as Billie, and have just made my way to an end of year celebration party thrown by Elixir, the firm Billie works for. Based on a single conversation, things seem about to get interesting.

Self described as "a hand-drawn adventure about technology and deception in a city at night" in which "decisions within the game carry weight, influencing subsequent events," Solis feels very much like an interactive comic. It displays in panels, everything is read, and interactivity consists so far of examining a few items (my phone, a suitcase) and generating conversations. Combined with the art style, which I very much like, the comic feeling is complete.

It plays in the third person and everything is done with the keyboard. WASD moves Billie around although to date it has only been movement left and right, and the space or enter buttons interact with the environment. Little icons will be generated as Billie explores, indicating look or talk, or exit the scene to enter another. I have caught a train to move around the city, and have so far visited three of the four stations. A soundtrack and sound effects have accompanied Billie.

The game autosaves exclusively to a single save point, seemingly on exit (I have only tried once but it returned me to exactly where I left off).

I will tell you more in due course.

Very interesting thread. I had never heard of this game before.

Ana.
