I'll be opting to buy the retail version - if it doesn't have to be played via Steam.
Does anyone know that yet ??

The characters are cartoonish, but the decor and environment look great. I agree. I wish they had stayed in the style of Murder on the Orient Express and Evil Under The Sun. However, I'm glad this will be a full adventure game and not just a hidden object game.

I also wish the style were more in line with the previous games. I thought the realistic look fit the series better. Good point about it being an actual adventure game as opposed to a hidden object game, of course.  I'm not sure I'm going to get it yet, but there's a definite possibility, so I'm watching the news, previews and later, the reviews. I'm also hoping GOG gets it as well.

I was disappointed to see the screen shots and find that the graphics were cartoons. So I probably won't buy it.
However the one cartoonish game that I did rate very highly, and thoroughly enjoyed, was Murder in the Abbey. For some strange reason, the style seemed to suit it.
