Good Morning everyone. Wide awake Double Dark Brew is ready.
Judith I am so sorry for your loss. As we get old losing someone we love and care about happens too often. Hagatha are you feeling better today? It looks like we all are getting some awful hot weather this week.
lynthorpe, you can get the download from a legit site like the one Rachael posted. What they do is give you a download link and follow it up by mailing you the original disk. You don't need to utilize the disk, it just give you the right to own it.
Someone else here had the same reaction initially - but he persisted, and ended up thinking it was a really good game.
It's also of interest that Adventure Game Hotspot said that the "long, static intro leaves a bad first impression," and yet they ended up giving it a 92%. So, I think it's possible this one may require a little more time before deciding how you feel about it.
I've played the demo for a couple of hours and haven't been bothered by the pixeltion. The 3D movement is pretty smooth (especially since I am playing on an older laptop) and the exploring and puzzling may have my attention more than the graphics. I agree the graphics in Quern were amazing and this is not at that same level, but the exploration portion is similar and I am pulled in by the mystery of this environment. I wonder if adding more detailed graphics and textures would have meant compromising other game attributes (minimum computer requirements, development time, size of the game, puzzling options that might have been left out because of effort devoted to textures/graphics)? Game development must be a real balancing act between a ton of choices that must be made.
