Title: Emerald City Confidential Launched Today Post by: Peevish on February 19, 2009, 08:19:54 AM Downloading the demo (http://www.playfirst.com/game/emerald-city-confidential/?q=AFWADJETEYE0001) now. I'm excited to see Dave Gilbert make a nice long game. Oh, hey, and there's a Mac version.
Check it out. Title: Re: Emerald City Confidential Launched Today Post by: Adamski on February 19, 2009, 09:15:07 AM Oooh looks interesting. I love the whole concept of OZ and the Emerald City. My brother went to see Wicked recently, some pretty cool characters and what not, hopefully I shall see it soon :coffee:

Title: Re: Emerald City Confidential Launched Today Post by: Peevish on February 20, 2009, 05:51:18 PM I finished the demo the other day, and I'm irritated at how much the game holds the player's hand. One hour of free gameplay and I didn't have to think for myself even once. I don't mind him helping out the player since he is trying to embrace the casual gamer as well, but couldn't these hints be turned off? There's no sense leaving the ardent adventure game fans out in the cold. I also wish I could have turned off the text (especially since there are some typos).
The story was ramping up in an interesting direction, though. Wish I had $20 to spare for the full-length. |
