Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle Demo & (early) Review

Brian (hot nerd protagonist) and Gina (porny stripper sidekick) of surprise adventure hit Runaway have finally returned, shockingly starring in Runaway 2 The Dream of the Turtle, another traditional point-and-clicker. Thankfully, the distinctly cartoon-like graphics are once again brilliant, the animation fluid, the puzzles surreal and the humor definitely European. The official website isn't too shabby either.

More importantly, an intriguing and very playable demo has just been released. Start your download here and while waiting for the 430MB file to get itself stored, do read a nice Dream of the Turtle review.

  3. Downloaded Cpt. Binarny, now I'm going to have to download this...

    You on a mission to meltdown my computer Mr. Gnome??

    Oh and BTW I will be trawling through the rest of the posts that I haven't commented on yet... Been sucked into RE Code Veronica...

    I know! Bloody rediculous isn't it?

    oh and BTW (2) I know I've been slacking on GGOTG recently and will address this shortcoming forthwith...

  4. Well, J, that's the spirit mate. Just make sure you don't broaden your horizons too much. One never knows...

    Indeed, wise Sir Elderly, but I'm sure one can find it for less... On magazine covers for example.

    Sorry, FK dear, but till your GGOTG absence is over you'll have to download an average 231.8 MB/day. Oh, and RE Veronica on the DC? I haven't bothered beyond watching the introand fumbling in the cell... Any good?

    Should I see a doctor?

  8. a turtles head? as in the pop psychelic band the turtles or the slow, shell carrying, crunchy on the outside soft in the middle variety,

    the last dreamfall game, not the original, which never even made it a blip on the horizon over here, (

    (quickly pushes turtle)

    There! It moved again!

    ReplyDelete
  14. ...wow...it did move.... but why did it jump off the table..?

    ReplyDelete
