Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle, a sequel to point-and-click jewel Runaway: a Road Adventure, is available on GOG.com for only $9.99.

This GOG-summer has been gracious to adventure fans: Torin’s Passage, Blackwell Bundle, Resonance coming next week, something unexpected in two weeks, and now Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle, the second part of series that mixes modern execution with old-school point-and-click adventuring.

Brian Brasco, a not-so-nerdy doctoral candidate in Physics at Berkeley, goes with his full-bosomed broad Gina Timmins, whom he saved in the first part of the game, to a well-deserved vacation in Hawaii. Things go from holiday-lazy to exotic-crazy when their plane crashes and Brian needs to set on a journey to once again find his missus.

Publisher describes Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle as “too weirdly entertaining for words in this title” and he’s not far from the truth. Gripping story, challenging puzzles, lovable characters make up for a highly enjoyable little point-and-click gem. Wonderful visuals, which combine 2D backgrounds and 3D 'shapes', will probably appeal more to male audience, but the amazing rest will appeal to all adventure-lovers, especially since Runaway 2 is now available DRM-free on GOG.com for only $9.99.

Wait for another release later today ;).
It's not too bad, but not particularly good either.

I think it is one of those Japanese emoticons with the "o" being eyes and the "3" being lips. I could be wrong about that though.

aluinie: Nice one for you adventure fans but not for me.

lukaszthegreat: apparently it is quite crap.


waiting for alternativa.
It's a shame that they had somebody with such poor understanding of graphic design doing the artwork. It looks like a real head ache to play an adventure game with so much superfluous junk on every screen and with such a cluttered screen.

These kinds of things are always strange. In the US we tend to use a string of "z"s in comics when people are asleep. In some parts of the world they use a huge bubble of snot for that purpose.

As somebody that's taken a serious interest in comics and cartoons lately and been reading and studying the design aspect it's fascinating what things translate and what things don't when going between cultures.

I know what you mean. I've read enough manga to get what the visual cues mean, but I am by no means seriously invested in it. Most of what I pick up is through association with others who are really, really into it. I am not surprised to see that stuff gets lost in general (visual) translation.
