Looks a lot like Diablo 3 visually. At one point in the video the protagonist is wall-jumping up to the top of some ruins to get to a hidden chest. I wonder if that stuff is done automatically on certain trigger points or if the game actually has 3D platforming elements. I hope it's the latter, as that would be a great addition to the regular action RPG formula. There is a lot of "combat jumping" in the video too, but it's hard to tell if it's manual or part of certain attack animations.

Yep, definite day one purchase for me.

Quoting: Kels

Quoting: fleskThese games are easily some of the best point-and-clicks made the last decade. I've only played the first couple of chapters of this one so far, but I already love it. Can't wait to check out the rest.

That was actually my feeling about Primordia, it was similarly amazing. Guess I really need to get around to finishing the original Unwritten Tales, I think I left off upon entering the orc camp so I don't think there's too much left.

I love that one too, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming Linux version that will come with a slew of bug fixes and minor enhancements. It's been a long time coming though, as mentioned before. WEG likes to hit the right timing with their releases.

Reminds me slightly of SPATE. Will definitely check this one out once I've cleared some more games off my backlog.

Looks great! :) I considered covering the Steam release myself but I've been a bit ill lately, so I'm glad you did.

Fixed the link.

The game looks neat. I'm not a huge fan of space combat, but it doesn't look too hectic and I quite enjoy exploration games.

iO is great. I've heard KR-17 is good too, but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
