I swear there was a thread for this already Scratch Head but whatever:

Quote:
City of Newton, 2087. CEL agents Charlie Regis and Max Lao are investigating a serial Mindjacker who is tapping into the neural wiring of seemingly ordinary citizens, stealing their knowledge and leaving them dead. An agoraphobic net addict named Latha Sesame might be the next target. But when Charlie’s past comes back to haunt him, he and his partner find themselves on opposite sides of the law, with Latha’s fate in the crossfire.


Release date: May 21st

Trailer:




Preorder now to get the soundtrack as well:

Looks less interesting that I thought it would before I clicked. Will still most definitely check it out.

"a phenomenon."

I just can't stand the voice acting, especially hers. So yet another game from them I will need to skip. Wish they could go for decent voice actors. :/

A mute voices option would be the least they could do Devil Troll

If this is an AGS adventure game then they always have different sliders to mute voice/sound/music.



1 and 2 are still amazing.

Good news. I really like their games.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Someone worked hard on that game and then decided to give it away for free. It's well within their right to stop selling it or start charging for it. You should be happy you got it for free in the first place and they didn't charge for it right away like 99% of developers do.

In case you were wondering guys, it's not possible to "mute" the voices (only sounds and music), but on the bright side, they're really not that bad. Razz The trailer gives a wrong impression in my opinion (the female protagonist is a bit dorky, though not too annoying).

Have just started it (along with Dex) to ride the cyberpunk wave and alternate it to the fantasy Witchery, and so far it's great, as per tradition.
There's a fantastic atmosphere and puzzles are more than okay, not too abstruse and some of them are based on the Trance/alternate VR gameplay mechanic which is definitely interesting^^

Well I know it will be bad for me, since they use the same people for the voices (well isn't it they themselves who are doing it? Always thought that). That being said even if muting voice overs was in I'd still complain on them for not getting better VA. It adds a lot to a game, I don't need professionals... just someone with a better voice than her would suffice.

I know, some people dislike me whining on them... but I wouldn't whine if I thought the games were bad/mediocre. Smile

Haha don't get me wrong, I agree! They always keep resorting on their internal resources (plus fans too for the very minor roles); it would be great for once to experience some professional(ish) work when it comes to that, for the perfect package. Very Happy
I think you should still give it a try, the cheesiness has been kept to tolerable levels in my opinion with believable voices, even though there will probably be some I spill my drink! moments later on xD

Hello children, I found out how to mute the voiceovers but keep the music/sfx active! Go to the game folder, double click on winsetup.exe -> click on advanced -> uncheck "use voice pack if available".

Press save and run. Voila Very Happy



1 and 2 are still amazing.
