ABOUT THE GAME

synopsis:
Azriel Odin, ex-assassin, arrives on the rain-drenched planet of Barracus. When things go horribly wrong, he can only seek help from the very criminals he used to work for.

Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a man called Delta-Six wakes up in a hospital with no memory. Without knowing where to turn or who to trust, he vows to escape before he loses his identity completely.

As fate brings these two closer together, we discover a world where life is cheap, identities are bought and sold, and a quest for redemption can change the fate of a whole galaxy.

I’ll be joining in as a first-time player. Seems like a really interesting game.

Also, wanted to thank Cheeseness for setting up the Joshua Nuernberger chat thing!

There’s a great postmortem on the game here.

So awesome, but I need to hurry up on my first play through!

Yay! Thanks to jonathanfrisby for putting this up :D

By the way, why isn’t this posted on the public forums? This makes it sound like the game club was backers-only and super secret. I think the thread should be moved to the public forums, as should any and all other game club threads.

I think it gets a bit more view here, but we should probably post something in the public forums (and maybe elsewhere) too..  I don’t know what Greg has planned, since the previous club threads were in the “From DF” forum.

Greg already plans to promote this, it should get plenty of views soon.

Such a fantastic game. I played it last year and won’t replay it with you guys, but I’m interested to see what others think if they are experiencing it for the first time.

Good catch, Black Hand—added it to the top post!

I might have to buy this again, just to snag myself the GOG.com version with the extras. As I was typing this, I got a pop-up from the GOG steam group about the release. 

AWWW YEAHHHHHH

Nice, I just got that game

By the way, why isn’t this posted on the public forums?

The original purpose of the game club was to get into the “vibe” of actual point and click adventure games; see what they did right, what they did wrong, what we can improve on, what we should try to avoid, to formulate ideas, and to get back into the general feel of them.  And, of course, then discuss all this between the backers and DF.  It wasn’t just to play and discuss games in general, but with the specific purpose of improving DFA… hence most all the games have been point and click adventures, in one way or another.

It feels like we’re removing the DF represensitive from that equation…

I think if a majority of participants want it to be public as well, that’s completely fine!
