Looking forward to this, had a quick go on the early demo at GameCity last year...

I love Amanita's games - great atmosphere, nicely quirky and highly imaginative.

Will give it a go this afternoon.

Don't care about no stinking demo. :P

Got it preordered, so am happy to wait for the full thing. :)

Just from the screenshots this looked amazing - but from the demo I can honestly say that this is one of my favourite games, especially in terms of atmosphere and production. It puts 99% of commercially produced animation to shame, such is the breathtaking gorgeousness and imagination on display. Simply incredible. Pre-ordered!

Yeah, it's a nice game. It's also nice that it can't be beaten by simply waving the mouse around the screen looking for the "active" bits.

I pre-ordered awhile ago. Downloading now, second attempt :( I imagine their servers are quite busy. It's a big (346M!) download.

Same here, nearly done!
Sorry about the smell of urine, but there really is nothing to do around here.

Finished this yesterday. It's one of the best games I've played in a long time. The atmosphere, attention to detail and characters are all fantastic. You've got to love the owl and the toilet paper.

Currently stuck, in a very pleasant way, trying to retrieve a lady robot's dog in exchange for an umbrella. Each new screen is a delight in this thing. There is so much character to it, but it never gets Hollywood twee or cute. It would make a superb animated film just from an audio-visual point of view, but the fact it is married to one of the most memorable, slick point and click adventures of all time is a joy of joys. Masterful, adorable, brilliant. I love it to pieces.
