Hi, Becky!

LOVED your interview with one of the best storytellers in all of adventure gaming and I would buy any game with her name on it sight unseen.

I was a member of Compuserve's GAMERS forum when GK1 was released, and Jane regularly visited the forum to see how we were enjoying the game, and she also responded to those who were stuck with hints.

I can't wait until "Gray Matter" is released, and I plan to savor every moment.

thanks Becky. Anything Jane Jensen you can count me in. I still think Gabriel Knight 2 The Beast Within is the best adventure game that I have ever played.


It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

If the name Jane Jensen doesn't cause a ton of pre-orders, those screen shots certainly will. Anxious to get into this one!!!!

Hmm, I find I'm looking forward more to playing Deadtime Stories (like that play on words) than I am to playing Gray Matter. However, I will get both games for sure.
Thanks for the interview, Jane and Becky, it was very interesting. Also thanks for that blog link.

Oops! Also thanks to Tomer for the screenshots link.

Great interview smile I just wish it had been longer.
So very interesting to get Jane Jensen's view on adventure games and where the genre is heading.


Adventure gaming is fun smile

Enjoyed the interview.

Grey Matter should do very well. I mean it should be up there with the biggest current sellers in the adventure game sector like Heavy Rain. Just hope its well marketed and gets the buzz it deserves.
