What are you kicking?

This looks and sounds incredible.

That does indeed look good. Often when I'm out wandering in the woods at winter I like to imagine how I'd manage if the power suddenly went out and stayed out. And I love that someone is making a game about it. A post-apoc game that is focused on survival for once, instead of merely being actiongames in a post-apoc setting, like pretty much everything else I've seen in the genre (Fallouts, Stalker, I Am Alive, etc.).

I'm wary about backing a project that don't really have anything but an idea and a few pieces of concept art to show for itself though. I'm gonna wait this one out and see if it gets backed without my help. Might throw a few bucks in if they're getting close to the deadline without having been funded.

Some solid names recommending it though.

Dude has legit survival beard and lumberjack shirt. So all's well.

(although when it comes to hardcore survival with a story, they haven't heard of Neo Scavenger apparently. Not that that's the same really. First person Neo Scavenger would be pretty cool though.)

I see where you're coming from though.

The Long Dark does look good. Certainly one I'll be watching.

What's the matter? Did he try to invent too many words and the whole thing collapsed under the weight of his beard?

My retro console gaming friend will probably cry tears of joy when he sees this news, a River City Ransom sequel is being made!

Why? What was so great about The 7th Guest that it needs another sequel?

It's just a bunch of puzzle games (some original, some not) connected by a plot shown in FMV cut scenes with painful acting. Don't even get me started on The 11th Hour which was so full of crap it made its predecessor look brilliant in comparison.

I understand the wow-factor the visuals had back then when CD-ROM was still a new medium, but that was literally 20 years ago. Why would you want to see another game in this vein?
This might sound more confrontational than it is meant to be... I'm honestly puzzled (heh) why this game was/is held in such high esteem.

Like anything popular during that era, strictly for the nostalgia.
