Always meant to spend time with this one, as an old Escape Velocity fan. Might now be the time!

There's currently no voice acting, but will be in a future update. To me, high quality voice acting is an integral part of point and click adventure games. I'll wait to see how that turns out. Maybe I'll play it next Christmas.

I see a "Visual novel system for new missions" in the feature list, but I don't think Naev is anything like a point and click adventure game for the most part.
