Cache files from Gametap?

No this is a fully unpacked release from what I can see, file structure is identical to the first free episode (A Boy Learns What Fear Is.) unsure where it's taken from but it doesn't seem to be Gametap. (Which would be impossible as Ep4 and Ep5 hasn't been released yet.)

No it's not a setup or installation file, it's these five episodes packed into separate archives.

I guess it's normally called "homemade" but I'm unsure if that's the case here as I have no idea from where the files originated. (All in all it's about 650MB packed so a CD seems very likely.)

Once extracted you have five different folders and it looks kinda like this:

(Folder names differ, I removed the spaces and added the episode number.)

That's also something I wondered about, perhaps there's a compilation on some Russian or similar store site offering these five on a single disc?

I mean there's a week between each release so most of these 24 episodes should already be done as you can't really do all that much in a week.

Don't you recognize the folder layout, plus the huge read U showing up in the logo?

It's the Unreal Engine 3.0 and normally it uses PhysX for physics effects, however Grim doesn't install any drivers so it's software based and probably doesn't do any major effects.

If you've read some of the reviews, you know that the reviewers got the first 5 episodes. So, probably it's the review version.

Did someone try taking the .exe from the released Russian episodes and copying it to the "original" game (bought on GameTap)? They may be unprotected and the .exe on every episode could be the same.

Aha then I understand how you meant, infact I've also wondered if one could simply take the exe to bypass later episodes. Smile
(Name of EXE for all episodes has the same name and size, infact the entire Bin folder is the same for each of these five episodes that has been released.)

EDIT: If one kept the Bin folder but renamed the other two folders holding that episodes data and then copied another episodes data, if that would then start as normal showing the copied episode as the one being played your method would work. Smile
(Assuming no other files are encrypted or something like that.)

If you buy it for 3.99$, you will get a standard setup.exe (just like the 1st episode had)

Episode 1 - 7 has been on P-Bay for a while now, seems only episode eight is missing. (Beauty and the Beast.) but if it's included in this "season" release then that's fine. Smile
(Those two "new" episodes, six and seven, were pretty good compared to the previous ones and also more challenging.)

EDIT: Just checked, seems the stand-alone version of Ep. 8 is out there as well now.

EDIT: Perhaps I misunderstood.

anything different in the 2nd season?
i tried 2 episodes, got bored in the middle of the 2nd.
it seems to me like mcgee forgot to insert humour and purpose to the game. it gives off a silly vibe in the beginning, but it doesn't go further with it. there's nothing funny, nor smart about the game, which is dissappointing and makes it come off as pointless.
