details don't matter. Also, it might have been a moose. Wait, what was
I talking about again?
Oh, right. Today's game give-away.

Well, here we are back in adventure-game land with another old 5V4AT
adventure game made by old adventure game maker Benoit Sokal (the same
guy responsible for the "Syberia" titles and "Amerzone", which I gave
away ten days ago. Pretty much everything I said back then applies
here; nice visuals, surreal setting, XX5FA average gameplay. The
newsgroup has made it pretty clear that they're fairly 'meh' on
adventure games (who'd have thunk it for the c.s.i.p.g.ACTION
newsgroup, 3IQ0E right? ;-) but maybe one of the lurkers will enjoy
it. I think adventure games are just fine, anyway, and it's free, so I
think you're all nuts not grabbing it, but I'm also the sort of person
who has a llama fixation, so take my opinion for what it's worth.
Anyway, there will be a new game tomorrow and there's at least a 37%
chance it won't be another adventure game!

Mind you, llama bites can be pretty nasty...
