Time to put a complete Ben Jordan playthrough night on my schedule :D

Finally, the world will hear my unforgettable performance as *some character in the game!

*I hope there are outtakes so I can relive my Peter Lorre-as-Renfield impression.


Also, congratulations.

Very well done to you, sir. Be proud of your accomplishment. I'll probably play this one later tonight.

I hope the cardboard windows make a guest appearance.

The end of an era...

Congrats on your biggest and best release!  (Well I presume it's your best, I haven't played it yet, but I enjoyed the remastered cases 1 and 2, you say 8 is longer...)

Just played through the first dialogue and was really thrilled to hear Eric's and Chris' voices, excellent work there guys!

The graphic style is cute in its crayon-like naivism. Music top notch, animations great.

Also wanted to share that it was impossible to run this on my laptop with Win 7 on it, until I changed the display resolution from 32 to 16 (after having tried all the old tricks in the book, including "high performance" energy settings and played around with drivers and setting and whatnot).
