People, people, people it's not always all about the graphics (they are comic-book style and pretty good IMO). This is a discount, download title and you gotta judge it for what it is. I s[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]aw some gameplay on YT and surprisingly, the game is well written with interesting dialog options and choices which have consequences as the game progresses. Never saw the TV show but the game looks pretty well made for a downloadable title. Might snatch it if it goes on sale on steam. [/font]
 
Holy shit guys! This game is amazing. You don't even need to watch the series to know anything about it. This is more of an independent storyline, and a good one at that. Very much like Heavy Rain, this game revolves a lot around QTE's and point and clink sort of gameplay. The characters, story, music & voice acting is really great. Look around the Internet and people are really praising this game. Don't go by the graphics, it's adopted to provide the comic book feel. I'm going back into the game now.

That's nice!

I thought Telltale's last one on Jurassic Park sucked so this might be something on similar lines but turns out the reviews seem to praise the game. Will give it a try once I am back from my trip.
 
EDIT : OMG Read so many Reviews! Plus the game is small. Going for it! People are amazed. I want to be amazed too..

Just completed the game and after watching the preview of the next episode, I'm just so pumped. Not sure when it will release though. I'll let some of you guys catch up with the game and then we could probably compare our decision stats. This episode was barely 2 1/2 hours long, but was very nail biting. Loved the atmosphere and the voice acting.
 
So what is it? Third person survival horror? Haven't watched the series so I have no clue on that.
 
You mean the genre? It's point and click survival horror. But the emphasis is mainly placed on conversations amongst the characters and getting to know their back story. Combat is equally tense and you have to make some tough choices. I had only watched the first episode of the TV series and ditched it after that, as found it to be very generic. But this, I like.

Don't worry. This won't be a piss-thy-pants affair, but you'll love the tense situations. Besides, it will be completed in one sitting anyway. Sucks the next release is a month away.
