Quite so.

Yay adventure game quick look :D

but what about her old eyes?

Great times!

Totally Gumbo.

Don't follow Freeman.

This game is...strange.

Finished this game last night and was pleasantly surprised by it. It's not the best point-and-click you've ever seen, and some production aspects, like the voice acting (aside from the narrator), leave a lot to be desired. Still, it has such a creepy and weird atmosphere that I felt enticed all the time. I specially liked how it seems no one else takes into account the "accidents" that are happening around them, but that actually factors into the plot later on. Plus, some of the puzzles are pretty clever; there's one involving making a pizza to four people, taking advantage of the fact that they are color-blind and can't see some of the ingredients which was superb.

Anyway, pretty cool game.

I'm actually curious to see how messed up things get.

This got strangely dark. I like it :D

I think this might be the kind of game I'd like to watch other people play rather than playing myself, but the tone is pretty amazing.

Might need to pick this one up sometime. I dig the messed up humor they seem to have going here.

Something something SPARKLE

19.99 USD for a pack with both of the Edna & Harvey games at gog.com. Good deal for us in Europe.

Is it just me or do snide comments with no purpose make you look ignorant...

12:15 looks straight out of Day of the Tentacle.

What an odd game..

You guys might be wrong about this game being for kids.

looks pretty fun

What is that thing with the paint brush? MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!

I'd imagine that him not spending much time reviewing stuff leaves him free for sitting in on quick looks during the office hours. Also, the more he does it the better he will get.

Patrick at 13:00 "I'd love if this would take a really dark turn"

GRANTED!

Pretty sure that said "Convent" and not "Covenant."

wow.. making fun of stuttering ppl.. giantbomb stoops to a new low again

I don't normally play adventure games, but I am sold on this game!

Did they just skip over that part where the voices in her head were calling for her to burn things?

It's not their fault that stuttering people have no souls.

Alternately, they were making fun of how the stuttering was delivered, not that it existed.

man, crazy creepy them not having mouths

After watched this video pretty much bought this right away! The game seems lovely :D

And I rarely buy digital content that is over 10€.

SPARKLE!

Dude, the fuck!?

That harmonica music at the beginning sounds like Last of the Summer Wine... Ergh...

Patrick comes free with every quick look

Hey guess what skipping dialog in a point n click adventure game is a bad idea! #prostrats

Well this escalated quickly.

At first I was really turned off by the art, the crude animation, and the narrator pushing his sarcasm a bit too hard. I'm still pretty lukewarm on the art, but everything else went so weird by the end of this Quick Look that I'm sold on the game.

SHING

Everything Vinny ever says is appropriate

... I like bees....

We don't take kindly to those that use the word, "Gumbo".

Edit: Okay, that dialogue at the end might have convinced me to get this.

Insanity.

Did you know that this game is actually the sequel to "Edna & Harvey: The Breakout"? It makes me sad that it looks like nobody outside of Germany has ever heard of it.

Wikipedia says that the first game didn't succeed in other countries "due to the sloppy translation".

This is really unfortunate because, in its original language, it was a fantastic adventure game.

oh man those 2 girls at the end, god damn

SHING!

Yes, because stuttering is a really crippling disorder.

The little Gnome is called a Censor Gnome, they paint anything that is considered "unsettling" to Lily and a shade of pink.
