Telltale Games

Be careful about downloading it.... Avast stopped the download for me because it detected a virus. I'm not sure if it is a false positive or if it truly has a virus, but I'm just putting it out there.

Secret Fawful · 09/19/2010, 11:58 am

There's no virus in this game. Oh, and so far its really great. I am legitimately stuck on a puzzle, and I've died a few times too.

roberttitus · 09/19/2010, 02:50 pm

You done scans since downloading it?

Secret Fawful · 09/19/2010, 03:56 pm

I did one since you asked. No viruses.

TSL's been pretty enjoyable so far (even if the first episode was way too short). It has its flaws, but overall, I'm just happy to be exploring the Land of the Green Isles again with a new story.

StingingVelvet · 02/20/2011, 04:40 pm

I played 20 minutes of The Silver Lining and 19 of it was listening to the narrator ramble on endlessly after I clicked on a potted plant.

waltzdancing · 02/20/2011, 08:57 pm

I for one love TSL. The music, graphics, story line are all beautifully done. This is a fan game that has risen to new heights and has exceeded all of my expectations. Sure it is a new take on things, and people are resistant to change, but who is to saw that it wouldn't lighten up if the story had a chance to continue.

If we looked at the other games and broke them into five episodes then the first chapters would be really boring. Take Kq2 for example, Imagine getting one key and that's it till next month. God, I would hate that because you aren't doing anything except walking around collecting stuff. Patience is what is needed when playing Episodic games.

Over all, TSL is a deep moving story that touches the player at the heart. It gives you hope and inspires the player to stand up against all odds and to do what is right. Graham could have easily give up but that is the one message that all the KQ games have, including 8. Never give up and TSL continues this tradition.

I like TSL's graphics and music - I like them a lot! I think it looks and plays great. I think the writing is a bit.... verbose and melodramatic. The story feels like a giant soap opera, and all that's missing is the "dramatic orchestra hits" and JR Ewing. Still, it's an impressive work - I just hope Telltale doesn't delve into a large, sweeping melodramatic story. Keeping it simple is the way to go.

I guess some people just dig the melodrama more, considering it the next logical step of progression from the demi-melodrama of King's Quest 6 and 7. Many parts of King's Quest have never been fixed, but experimental with each installment. I agree most of the time it should be toned down, but at least one dramatic cataclysm is great for bringing the whole story together, which I never think is a bad thing, even if it's never been done for the franchise to this degree.

caeska · 09/07/2011, 01:39 pm

The 4th installment of The Silver Lining, entitled “Tis in My Memory Locked, and You Yourself Shall Keep the Key of It” will be released next month!
Personally, I'm excited!

Not only will we get more of the action sequence goodness we had in episode 3 but they promise us new areas of Sacred Mountain and exploration of Isle of the Beast.

They really took their time with this episode, not promising any release date, instead of rushing it like they did with the previous episode and I'm sure that this will be well-designed and rich in content.
For those of you who haven't yet played TSL, I can highly recommend picking it up at tsl.

Here are some screenshots though.

MusicallyInspired · 09/07/2011, 03:22 pm

I don't understand the decision behind the incredibly lavish, and in this case lengthy, chapter titles of TSL. They just seem pretentious and they're not that memorable (because they're hard to remember).

BagginsKQ · 09/07/2011, 05:01 pm

Someone likes Shakespeare...

But apparently not KQ style Humorous pun titles...

Cez · 09/07/2011, 05:34 pm

well, that was what Every Cloak Has a Silver Lining was for. But things changed...

This one is extremely lengthy, I'll admit. Eriq laughed for like 30 mins when I told him what was it so that he can make the actual logo for it.

It just fits very well.

KatieHal · 09/08/2011, 06:42 am

LOL, oh god, I can imagine he did! Yeah, this one is both long and at the same time fitting.

lattsam · 09/08/2011, 10:55 am

More of the Isle of the Sacred Mountain? Ooh, I hope I get to explore the labyrinth!

KuroShiro · 09/08/2011, 08:54 pm

I appreciate the reference, but you might want to go for *slightly* more prosaic titles. That one is so flowery it comes across as self-parody.

KatieHal · 09/09/2011, 06:11 am

You should've heard the original, we shortened it to this after rejecting the original "Tis in My Memory Locked, and You Yourself Shall Keep the Key of It Darkity Dark Dark Emo McSkinnyJeanPants Cries All the Time"

:P

It's funny because it is so very true.

TSL? Pretentious?? PSHAWWW!
