The Dream Machine is an episodic, indie, point-and-click adventure that will very soon be released. You can now pre-order it here and get a lovely discount. Oh, and yes, it will span five episodes, the first of which can also be played for free here.
Then again, all this doesn't sound very exciting, does it? No, I know, but if you knew what a magnificent little thing The Dream Machine is you'd be absolutely ecstatic and (metaphorically) running to pre-order it. It's an imaginative, smart, highly polished and jaw-droppingly handcrafted adventure for all PCs (Win, Mac, Linux). Really. It's a rare, proper claymation game that puts the visuals of your latest FPS to shame, and as I have already described in my preview of the thing a brilliant adventure. Read it, get excited, and pre-order. Oh, and the team responsible for it isn't afraid to write this. Expect a Gnome's Lair review sooner or later.

Well, the characters are actually 3D-animated, as can be seen here: http://dreammachinegame.blogspot.com/2009/11/character-generation.html
ReplyDeleteSo it's not "proper" claymation... though I agree on everything else you say about the game.
Oh my! You are right!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is a lovely game. I look forward to seeing further chapters being released!
ReplyDeleteMe too, and that's why I'll pre-order today. After all it's one of the few "eagerly awaited" games on the Gnome's Lair sidebar.
ReplyDelete...I need more money. Too big a hole in the bank, too many interesting games!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it... Unemployment is tough, you know.
ReplyDeleteGreat game, just started the second chapter.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree. Will be buying it very soon!
