I've played a lot of games since the mid 90's, but there never has been another game like TLJ... perhaps "Grim Fandango" is close as far as the depth of storyline and character development, but April Ryan is the best written and best vocally acted adventure character around, along with all the people and creatures in both her worlds, IMHO. I've replayed the game so many times over the years and every time I've discovered something new. As far as the chance of getting another game based solely on April and done with traditional point and click and painted 2D, well... have to admit to being wildly excited about the possibility.

That being said, I never felt quite the same way about Dreamfall. Not because of the storylines or the vocal acting, but I don't much care for cliffhangers, so that affected how I felt about the overall game. I've only replayed Dreamfall once or twice after my initial playthrough, but after following the entire ten hours of the "Twitch Play," decided to try again. While still terribly annoyed by the clumsiness of the controls, I found myself enjoying the story much more than I originally did and though I've already pledged more than I can afford, I went ahead and upped it another tier. (curse and bless credit cards) I'll be scrimping for a while until the balance is paid off, but I just gotta have more of the 'Balance.' :)

Thanks very much for the article and certainly hope it will bring in more attention from those who don't yet know the story or those just now finding out about the Kickstarter funding.
