I sent email to Gey regarding the delay of Anacapri (NA) He very kindly replied and thought I would share his response.

"The process to obtain the rating (now set to E 10+) from the ESRB has been longer than usual. In addition, one player of the Italian edition has discovered a very minor bug, that we decided to correct in the U.S. version.
But, be patient! I am sure you will not deceived from the game, that is one order of magnitude better than “A Quiet weekend in Capri” considered from all point of view – story, technology, depth, playability. "

He then sent me some screen shots. Very nice.

Since I did not know what ESRB E10 meant - I looked it up. Probably everyone else knows but if don't: Entertainment Software Rating Board. E10 is Everyone 10 years & older.

Thanks for all the info. I have been wondering why there's been a delay in shipping my game.

Hey, I'm just glad we're getting it this year. I've been waiting 2 years (or, has it been longer?).

laugh Yeah, me too... & it seems like it's been longer! Mine's been on pre-order from Amazon.. & on Monday I got the Order Update/Revision notice saying the release date had been moved to September. If you got that notice, Joanie, be sure to respond to keep your order open.

I got that notice too and this is the second time they've pushed back the release. Does anyone know what the hang-up is?

Never mind, just read back posts!

I have a question. Will this game be the slideshow style (if that is the right term) as was in Quiet Weekend?

Yes, it is similar to how Quiet Weekend is set up.
The story and the puzzles are more complex though.

MaG... I hope Gey & Silvio know that we'll happily and patiently await any & all of their efforts to make our 'vacation' smooth & glitch-free. Please, take your time... we'll be ready when you & the game are ready!

In the meantime, my 'bags are packed' & I'm ready to 'set sail' !!

Thanks MaG. Not my favorite style but the game sounds real interesting so I'll more than likely try it when it does get here.

Not out here yet Becky.
It plays the same as Quiet Weekend but I think better constructed.
Missed the Italian language though.


Quantity has a quality all of its own

When I first started playing, I thought the same thing Oldman. Didn't take long to fall under the magical spell of the isle of Capri, & become fully immersed in its environment. Interacting with the locals (people & cats) was a special treat as well, & further brought the game's environment to life. Yes, give it a try if you can.

After reading the reveiw I'm all the more anxious to play the game. OH September is so far away. Diane
