Since the game wasn't getting official demos, I decided to take our 30 minute break between games to sit down with a game and take it for a test drive.
The game starts off by letting you customize your character's look and clothing. The selection isn't as robust as I would have liked to see (no luxuriously long hair guys? I'm hurt) but there's still more than enough to make the character feel like one of your own.
The game itself unwinds slowly through an amalgam of comic panel and full motion cut scenes that are both narrated by a... um... narrator. This voice is actually the only one you'll ever hear in the game. I'm told this is because fans of the web comic have their own and wildly varied ideas of how the characters should sound (For instance my Gabe and Tycho sound like Asterix and Obelix).
I was surprised at how much I enjoying playing what I did of the game. It felt very much like a blending of some of the best bits of different types of games. It has, for instance, a distinct role-playing flavor to it, but there's also a point-and-click adventure and action element to the game."
