Congratulations, Vince, I enjoyed so much the playable preview, let's go with full game. The most expected AGS game ever for me.

Kimbra

Congrats! Have been waiting for long!

tzachs

Congratulations!  :)
This will surely be a classic...

AJA

Congrats, Vince et al! :D

I'm sure it's an awesome game. Shame I won't have time to play it for a couple of weeks.

Snarky

Just playing through the opening vignettes, it's neat to notice all the little changes from the beta version a few months back. Voices, of course, but things like tweaks to the dialogue, the new hardboiled monologue from the cop, rewritten newspaper story, new names for the doctors in Ray's story, that you can't randomly steal the sleeping bum's bottle, and those very cool, Fringe-like in-environment directional arrows. It all feels very polished, and the changes make it fun to play through it again.

Just played the demo - cool stuff!
                 
Congratulation for the release! 

Now excuse me please - I have to order a game  :grin:

Is there any way to pay for this with PayPal without linking my credit card to my account (as I don't have a credit card but I have PayPal).

Dave Gilbert

If you have money in your paypal account (or if it's connected to your bank account), it should just deduct the money.

Secret Fawful

Nope, it's stuck on this:


It won't let me proceed unless I do this.

Dave Gilbert

I have no idea, unfortunately. That sounds like a paypal issue. I suppose they want to be sure you can cover a cost if there's not enough money in your bank account.

Nikolas

I should note that my paypal account (business account and the previous account which was 'normal') didn't have a credit card but a debit card and it was fine. It was a VISA card, but a debit card none the less...

I've always used my debit card with my PayPal account, works fine.

Finished my first playthrough yesterday night and can’t stop myself from sharing some thoughts. Haven’t played it yet with commentary, so maybe some of my impressions were addressed to there.
First non-spoiler:
Ms. Gilbert. Mr. Gilbert. Mr. Twelve. Anybody involved. I take my hat off to you. It’s the best relase of this year so far (and so far I can see only one other candidate for my personal game of the year - which is The Cat Lady).

Spoilerish thoughts:
Spoiler

-   I’m afraid you unintentionally made me hate Ed very early in the game. From the time I heard his comments on his smoking colleagues I tried every opportunity to try to kill him. It was hell of a decision when I had to choose between world’s freedom and frying him. Smokers pride!
-   Congratulations, Mr. Twelve! You made an optional maze puzzle which I didn’t skip.
-   What’s more, you made a block sliding puzzle which I really enjoyed even though I stucked there for a while and made it more difficult by taking two wrong assumptions: that heavy metal crate will break the catwalk rather than just lay on it and that by turning off the fuse box I’ll cut off the catwalk’s power source making it stuck in it’s current position rather than back to it’s initial position.
-   Why does Batra â€" leader of powerful secret organization runs his own errands (minor ones, like a random act of burglary) and uses his public name while doing undercover job? It’s kind of against being secret society : )
-   Ed acts kind of irrationally: why does he use the very last pair of priceless resonance devices to destroy the mainframe? Bomb placed somewhere there would do the job pretty well. Why does he shoot Anna no matter what she chooses in the vault? Why does he even bother entering the vault if he still has the devices used to destroy the laboratory and knows how to build them?
-   Isn’t Tolstoy a surname rather than a name? Like in Leo Tolstoy or Alexei Tolstoy.
-   The “Lament Configuration” puzzle in Tortoise’s was truly hellish! Is there any other way than trail and error? After some time I really felt like Frank Cotton, messing with the box for several hours. BTW, Tortoise himself shares some similarity (like his headgear and moustache) with Camerahead the Corny Cenobite â€" was that intentional?

I dunno, Urpney, bad guys have a tendency to not act rationally.
