To end on a high point, we loved both J.P. Tortoise and Abe Goldfarb's very nearly convincing Mancunio-Liverpudlian English accent!

Abe was basically impersonating the ninth Doctor Who.

Who is from Lancashire, which is not too far from Manchester/Liverpool!

I saw this in an EB!

..but I had no money at the time. And when I went back I couldn't find it. And then the staff said they hadn't heard of it.

I'm going to try again because having a physical copy would be REAL cool.

Are you talking about 'Resonance' or 'Doctor Who', Jared?

If you were hinting at the former: http://www.wadjeteyegames.com/resonance.html

...Wadjet Eye Games is the only place where you're able optain the physical boxed copy of Resonance.
At the same time this is probably a great way to show some support! (*MAKE MORE GAMES LIKE RESONANCE!!*)

And hurry up, 'for God's sake', it's worth every damn penny!!!

Just finished the game...and woah.
During the game I kept thinking "Oh...I wish it's gonna be like this, I wish it's gonna turn this way" and eventually, all my wishes were granted, and it was even better that everything I could have thought of.

Congratulations, really. One of the deepest game I've played these last years (and I've played A LOT)

Thanks everybody! I'm glad you're all liking it!

Thanks for the feedback Ali! I agree with you that the STM is probably one game away from being done right. (But I have no plans to make a game even nearing this complexity anytime soon, so someone else will have to make it!) If I were to explore it in another game, I would not make the player have to drag items into the STM to use them in conversation. I would instead have the player choose "memories" as a dialog option which would open up a screen allowing you to flip through screenshots of every room that character had visited and select any object from there. It eliminates the backtracking and the confusion of having to drag items out of the world and into your inventory.

Same with the character control which could have used some of those extra features you mentioned (in particular the insta-summon feature but I can't imagine the entirely new realm of bug possibilities that would have opened up!).

Jared: I'd be very surprised if you saw this game in a store!

Maybe it was Resonance of Fate? (Which, by the way, has a lower metacritic score than Resonance! Ha!)

Pierrec: Thank you!

We are pleased that so many others are pleased.

I should probably mention that Vince, myself, Nikolas, Dave & Janet, and Sarah (Anna's voice actor) were on Skype for a Destructoid playthrough of Resonance. Our host Rick Foom didn't get very far but it was an interesting 4 hours and a lot of fun was had. Apparently we were competing with EVO so a lot of people in the audience were talking about that instead of asking questions but there were a few surprisingly good questions and a few appearances from AGSers like stupot (yeah, I saw you!) and Grundislav. Thanks for joining in on the playthrough!

Sounds cool.

Hmm, I'm sure it was this game. Now I'm wishing I'd taken a photo...

..or alternatively worried that I may be hallucinating in the midst of my fever..

Stupot · Sat 07/07/2012 14:20:15

@ProgZ Yep I was lurking, but had to go to bed after the first 3 hours. It was really fun to listen to, though. Do destructoid record these things? I wouldn't mind watching the rest at some point.

Oh, and Vince, thanks for the shout-out :-)

To be fair, Resonance of Fate has Nolan North in it...

Icey · Sat 07/07/2012 20:55:17

How did you a web page to open straight from the game? I had a theory, that may be if a had my game open a Webpage file that it might open up the chrome and take me to that page but, no dice.

EchosofNezhyt · Sat 07/07/2012 21:13:27

I think theres a module for that.

Icey · Sat 07/07/2012 22:59:54

I hope it's the steam one. Cause then I'm out of luck for now.

How the bloody hell did I miss that plug in lol

Thanks dude.

duh, 2007. Yeah now I see why I missed it.

Peder 🚀 · Tue 10/07/2012 02:18:24

There was a playthrough??!!

. I'd also be interested to know if they get recorded!

CaptainD · Tue 10/07/2012 08:26:29

Completed it last night (at least, completed one ending) - the plot twist in the vault completely wrong-footed me!

I expected the twist,
