Act 4 is out.
@sanj: If you bought the game you were told that there are five episodes planned. That waas almost four years ago now, so who knows if that is going to be the final episode though.

I have absolute faith that they'll finish all 5 acts. I do not have faith that they'll finish the last one anytime soon. If this ones as good as the last one I'm fine with the wait though tbh.
That took a while.
Only 4 more years until they release the last episode and I can finally buy the whole thing and play it beginning to end in about 2 hours.
EDIT: While it's not like they've lied about anything or are cheating people out of their money, I still do think the pace at which they're releasing these things is absolutely disgraceful. It's a small team, I get it, but something about taking that long to release these episodes really rubs me the wrong way.
Maybe I'm just bitter because I really want to experience this but I absolutely hate playing episodic games that aren't fully released. It was bad enough with The Wolf Among Us when I had to wait a month or two between episodes and would forget important plot points. With nearly 2 years between episodes I would find it incredibly difficult to go back to the game.
@fredchuckdave: Almost five minutes of my time for that joke. And it works on more than one level. Worth it!
@humanity: At the very least when the game is finished it will be a pretty decent length. Those first two episodes were short - less than an hour - but the recent two are at least 3 each, and you can only see about half of Act IV on a single playthrough. There are also side episodes which are about 2 hours in total. So if the final act is about as big as the last two KR0 is looking to be ~12 hours.
As for the wait, well, if it were any other kind of game I wouldn't be able to handle it.
@milijango: Hopefully they can hurry up and get the last episode out before 2018 because I would like to see what all the fuss is about!
HI all. After finishing Inside, I want more of those extreamly atmospheric games. Short is a bonus. I just want to go back to the world of Inside. So, how is KRZ in that regard? I think I have played ep 1 way back when, but It might have been the QL. I am not sure.
I am also looking at the Another World remake edition.
