This game is so TellTale it hurts. But you can tell it's a knock-off brand because the facial animation is a couple steps down, with no real lip syncing or emoting. Motion captured animation looks good, I didn't see anyone with the unnaturally stiff shoulders that marks a bad mo-cap job, and they probably got real actors cause characters can use their body language to get their feelings across pretty well.

I can't really comment on the story because it's all build-up with no payoff right now, and the preview trailer looks like that'll continue for a bit. I do like how time-travel is both a story and gameplay mechanic, in fact the game blends the two so well that it's nearly impossible to separate one from the other. Very cool stuff, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Between this, Game of Thrones and Borderlands, it's looking like a very good year for point-n-click adventures.

Fun thing about the game is constantly being reminded of your own teens - it's really cringeworthy.

There's far too much acoustic guitar and not nearly enough nu-metal to accurately emulate my life as a teenager. If somebody could mod this game to replace all the songs with Linkin Park, then I'd probably be reminded of my high school years.
