There is just one man on this planet who has the Full Motion Cojones to handle this...
And it's published by Atlus?! We may have finally found a worthy candidate for the next Endurance Run.

Yikes. These games seemed so cool back when I was a teenager too. Now all I see is terrible acting.

"I don't have a wife!?
LIAAAR!!"

I know it would be kinda spoilery for people and ruin what could be a very fun experience, but an 'endurance' run of this would be kinda great.

Seems like they are a bit too aware of how cheesy some of this is, I'd prefer it if they would play it straight. But, sure, I backed this and I'm happy I did, the world needs more FMV.

Steve Valentine, June Lockhart, Kevin Murphy?

Todd Bridges?

Sure, why not?

I still haven't actually finished the other ones, though. I should get back to those.

"FULL MOTION VIDEO"

"PUZZLES"

"REAL-TIME BACKGROUNDS"

It's like the intertitles were transplanted from 1998 too. Nonetheless, I am extremely glad this exists. (Also, Big Finish Games is a great name for a developer.)

I had a little bit of buyer's remorse when I put in a bunch of money into the Kickstarter....

But now I know it was all worth it. This is going to be awesome.
