I hope they find a European publisher for the English version, soon, too.

I wonder what it means "gripping actionsequences" - is this an Adventure game or an Action/Adventure? Do not like "action" where there is a lot of fighting using keyboard keys and both hands at once......would rather do a little light fencing or whatever or just slink by without such active interaction....thank you very much Love, Betty Lou

I've read a couple of German reviews, none of them mention any action-sequences. As far as I am aware, it is pure point and click. I think the press release refers to cut-scenes rather than actual in-game action.
I'll be back, one day, when I feel like it.

"Next generation of Adventure games" is a phrase that makes me tremble a little, but what I've seen looks promising. Hope there is a UK release!

Thanks Becky for the info on this fantastic looking game. Thanks Darleen for the translation. It tells a lot about what to expect from the game. This is one that's going on my list. From what I read in the forums the UK version should be out in April. Cathy

I've heard back from the publisher. The "action sequences" are cut scenes that you observe only (you don't have to respond, you're just watching.) ...the action scenes are cut-scenes, and they’re absolutely beautiful. The game is more adventure instead of action focused, there is little action that requires quick reflexes, more puzzles to solve and brains involved. The game will not be using Starforce.
