  • FREE GAME: Truberbrook

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 29 11:42:00 2023
    It's not Thursday, and it's not Epic, but it's free:

    * Truberbrook
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/truberbrook

    Honestly, it's not the greatest of adventures. Neither the stories nor
    the puzzles were particularly engaging, and the world itself could
    have used more fleshing out. But it's pretty enough, and - if you
    enjoy the traditional adventure-game format - it's as good a way to
    while away a few hours as anything else (if you don't enjoy
    traditional adventure games, this game definitely won't convince you
    of the genre's worth, though). It's not a game I'd ever recommend
    anybody buy, but free? It's worth the price.

    You have 72 hours (well, 69* hours now) to claim

    I've kinda given up on point-and-click adventures. The latest one I was
    able to stomach was The Cave. I finished Deponia several years back.

    I have a lot of them, because I used to love this genre, but it mostly
    just seems to be to increase The Number these days.

    Yeah, same here. I was a big Sierra fanboy back in the day. I own most
    of their games. It was my genre of choice when I was younger.

    I doubt I will play this one but free is free so I took it. I do like
    the graphics though. Very nice looking game.

    I've only played a few that I really liked. Phoenix Wright (up to 2-3
    because it's *that* case) and Darkside Detective.

    I'm my book, being GOG and DRM-Free makes it truly Epic.

    I think I have it already on Prime Gaming. It's hard to keep track of
    things with the digital storefront fragmentation.
