What is this huuuuuump? Shocked


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

Wasn't this mentioned before? I know I've seen something about it as that's how I found out about the game.
(It's been available for a while.)

EDIT: Ah so I was the one mentioning it in one of those monthly releases threads.

EDIT: As for the game it's good but you have to read the included text documents and manuals as otherwise you won't be able to play it.
(You don't know the text commands and gestures whom are required otherwise, essential for managing the cyber interface even early in the game.)

yea, it's crap

the fucking flickering made my head hurt before even getting to write anything
manual tells me to write 'turn flickering off', but that doesn't do anything
writing 'stop flickering' should be the first thing to do when starting the game

constant trial and error of trying to find the exact word combination the devs wanted me to is not fun
i've played some text adventures and they're usually not as anal about this
it also doesn't help when the game knows exactly what i mean, but tells me to write it the way it wants me to anyway.. even quitting isn't as straightforward as writing quit.. fuck this shit
i'm actually most insulted that they're asking $15 for this

a proper cyberpunk adventure game would have been so great to have, too

This.

I'm really attracted by the setting and atmosphere they try to create, but having to read through text filled with spelling errors just breaks the immersion.
