More proof (after Heavy Rain) that traditional adventures games can work on PS3.

I recently won a BTMF t-shirt and hat, so I guess I owe it to check out this game. It actually looks quite interesting, it’s great we’re revisiting the old point-and-click sort of games like in the 90′s.

I’ll be sure to get you guys some free advertising when I’m out and about with my new t-shirt

Really looking forward to this series, just hope there’s at least some replay factor in there.

@Azulcity: From what i understand it’s not really a point and click, more like the layton series mixed with cluedo. For point and clicks you might want to start hounding Telltale games. Why they haven’t ported their engine to the PS3 yet is beyond me, truly missing a huge trick.

“That’s Tom, who does all the voices for the game. He’s really good.”

He does his “rrrr”‘s really well. Did he introduce Rhydian at Xfactor? He’d be good at that

This looks really good. The PS3 is crying out for adventure/point and click games.

Thanks for the response David. I’m a Prof. Layton fan too, so this also appeals to me. Looks like I’ll be getting the first two episodes ‘bundle’ pack. Its nice to have something like this available in December when typically there is very little.

Hopefully the Xmas buyers will take a good look at this title when they open their PS3 on Xmas day.

Really like the art-style and the sense of humour the game clearly has, looking forward to playing it when it comes out. Can see it being played on Christmas day when the family are around

There needs to be an episode with an evil cow.

The store could handle a season pass I’d think – just look at Qore on the US store. Anyway, I’d still prefer to try the first single episode out before I’d think of a subscription.

Looks like the perfect game to play on christmas night with the family, and maybe a wee glass of cider. Really looking forward to playing. Cheers.

No plans for a seaon pass just yet. I don’t think the store has the facility to pay for episodes that haven’t been released, if you see what I mean.

Great idea to plan a Sunday night in with it. I prefer playing it in a group because it’s fun when you spot something that others in the room haven’t. What fun it solving crimes if you can’t rub each other’s face in it?

The gameplay is observational challenges, puzzles and of course the whodunnit at the end. It’s not a point and click with an inventory. More Layton than Monkey Island, I’d say.

As for the PEGI rating, the game is about murder, but it’s murder in the MMMMURDERRRR! sense. Tongue firmly in cheek.

I won’t be watching as I want to keep this game in it’s sparkley, digital cellophane till I can download it.

Is there any chance we’ll be able buy a ‘season pass’, rather tahn just bundling 2 episodes together at a time?

Thanks and really looking forward to sitting down on a sunday night with my girlfriend and playing this game.

Hi David. What is the gameplay like itself? I’m a big fan of mystery games like Broken Sword, and particularly like finding clues, keeping items in an inventory and quizzing suspects.
Though the PEGI rating appears to be low, how have you gotten away with having a game based around murder available to 7 and ups?

Hope to hear back from you.
