This could have been a monumental fuckup, but every hour or so I was shouting "OH WHAT?!" at the TV in the best possible way. Synapses goin' off rapid-fire with each new revelation.

They've just made a brilliant game filled with well realised characters and crackin' story.

Vanillaware must survive.
