They put out a demo for Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet! [kickstarter]

The demo is pretty short though. Too short

The game looks like it'll be quite sweet, however. I reeeally hope it makes it.

Kinda random, but since it's Potatoland central here (and proxy haevan), a heads up can't hurt.

So, anyone played Jack Keane 2 - The Fire Within? Is it as bad as it looks?

Only Deck13 adventure I've played is Black Sails. It was okay.

2011 KS, the game should be coming out late this year I think

Intriguing story and spectacular environments in the spirit of classic adventures like ICO, The Dig, and Another World.

An adventure game I've never even heard of until yesterday was released on 18.7. It's called The Inner World and looks quite charming. Unfortunately seems it's only a German release for now. Can't find any info on their site that indicates an English translation is in the works.

RPS's posted news about a new upcoming (in 2014 tho'!) point-and-click adventure, Heaven's Hope:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/14/i-hope-to-high-heaven-that-heavens-hope-is-good/

Sounds a bit too emo (?)/pretentious (?)/German (!), but hey, the more p'n'cs the merrier!

Sepulchre is a brief tale about a man on a train. Brief, as in 15 minutes long. It's free though:

Is this the version where Brandon goes "Oh shit!" when he crosses the bridge without taking certain measures to protect himself, or the other one?

I am not sure as I haven't had the chance to play it yet but if I find out sooner or later, I'll let you know :D

I can confirm that this is the talkie version

Then I'm pretty sure it's the one without the "Oh shit!", since that got removed/wasn't included in the talkie version, iirc.

I just found an old Adventure I remembered from the past on abandonware: "Dragon Lore II: Heart of the Dragon Man"
http://www.abandonware-france.org/ltf_abandon/ltf_jeu.php?id=815&fic=liens

Somewhen 20 years ago I bought this and sold again because I thought it was an RPG, which it wasn't. Neither did I like the movement controls. Now I think it's actually not that bad, and it really has its own charme. A charme I miss from many of today's games. Also the graphics are neat (of course it's all prerendered 3D video clips, but still...), and the decent GUI design is nice.

Use the "Automatique" download, which downloads the whole package (including dosbox integration already. You just need to install and play). Unfortunately it is completely in french so it takes some guesswork to play. What I didn't realize in the past is, that you need to take all weapons in the beginning and there is a weapon for every enemy which kills him most quickly (you know it's the right weapon when each hit removes 10 hitpoints from the enemy). If you don't know that you can rage pretty quickly.
