I'm looking forward to Rhem 4 and any other adventure that might possibly be Mac compatible.

I am hoping that there will never be another adventure game released so I may go back to a normal life away from this computer

Hoping for no new releases ? I am... . Normal life away from the computer ?? You ..mean..there is life away from the computer ??? GreyFuss are you really trying to make us believe you aren't anixously awaiting the release of a new adventure game ?

Actually I'm still waiting for the translation of many good 2009 adventures (Black Mirror 2, Edna bricht aus, The whispered world, the book of unwritten tale)

I know it has English subtitles, but I don't believe it has the promised English voices yet. That's why I'm still waiting to play Broken Sword 2.5.

Its been so long I think I have forgotten what a normal life can be

I don't think I ever knew.

Do you remember way back when you could walk on two legs LK

Yes, it has been 36 very long days.

I have a huge backlog of games I have yet to play, but I'm still looking forward greatly to the release of Gray Matter. I've heard of various release dates for this year, but still nothing concrete. In any case I'm optimistic that it will finally be released this year.

I am also greatly looking forward to the release of Gray Matter. I have been trying to get a confirmation on the release date. I am fairly hopeful that it will be sometime this spring.

Hello everyone! I'm new 'round these parts, I hope you don't mind if I join in on the discusion.

I'm looking forward to the following for either release or translation:

Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island
The Book of Unwritten Tales
Deponia
The Whispered World
Gray Matter

I'm sure there are many more great games coming out this year. I tend to like everything but horror/scary games, simply because I am a scaredy cat. I couldn't play Scratches: Director's Cut for more than 30 minutes. I psyche myself up, constantly wondering when something scary is going to happen.

And if anyone finds any good indie games, be sure to post about them!

Hello Magoozelle

Welcome To The Point, its good to see you here. Hmmm, interesting user name. Care to post a little more about it in the This thread: Your Adventure Point User Name?

Hi Magoozelle, and welcome to our little band.

I'm looking forward to Gray Matter too. I'm just afraid of having my hopes set too high. You know how it is .........

Scratches - Did you ever go down to the basement then? Ooooh! Something scared me down there, for sure!

Hi Magoozelle and welcome . The Pirates of Vooju Island should be releasing Feb 24 th. I'm a big supporter of Indy games and try to keep an eye out for them. There are some non horror ones bieng developed now and will hopefully be out befor long.

Gelert, I'm with you I did not like going down in that basement. I just dreaded it. Scratches was possibly the scariest game I ever played. And that sound track or man.

It was THAT something that happened there that really got me.

Spoiler . .

Spoiler:

Gelert when that happened it scared me so bad my hair stood on end my heart pounded, I sat there paralyzed for quite a while.

Another part was when

I think that bit wasn't too bad for me, as I'd expected something, but I didn't ....

Spoiler:

Time for bed. 3 a.m. here. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

I wasn't expecting that in the basement either.

Someone asked about indie adventure games. I'm actually primarily waiting for indies as I'm not sure if I'll have time to play anything else.

Here's a bunch I'm often thinking about:

Boryokudan Rue
Resonance
The Cat Lady
Winter's Shadow
Death Wore Endless Feathers (Disk 2)

There are certainly more great things on the horizon, but these 5 are the titles I have (almost) no doubt they will appear in 2010.

Other than that I'm really looking forward to Grey Matter and also hope to be taken by surprise by some new, unusual titles.

Overall, after Tales of Monkey Island and Time Getlemen Please! I'm now in the mood for something more serious.

Hello Igor Hardy

Welcome to The Point

Are these Indie games adventure and are they freeware as I haven't heard of them. Maybe if you have time you could fill us in.

Hey Greyfuss!

You probably heard at least about Resonance. It has been long time in the making already.

The only freeware game among the ones I mentioned is Death Wore Endless Feathers, but Boryokudan Rue, Resonance and Winter's Shadow are the first commercial ventures of prominent authors of many freeware games.

Boryokudan Rue was one of IGF 2010 finalists. Here's the first public trailer.

Resonance is from Vince Twelve - best known for What Linus Bruckman Sees When His Eyes Are Closed - and will offer special inventories to collect memories.

Winter's Shadow is the newly announced game from Ben Chandler - the star of the freeware adventure games scene in 2009 (as he made and released about a dozen really great, short adventure games).

The Cat Lady is the next game made by the creator of past year's disturbing horror game Downfall.

And you can have a look at Death Wore Endless Feathers (Disk 1) and download it here. Really fun cyberpunk with cartoon graphics.
