Most of GotGames' games have been starting out at $29.99 when first published.

Wow, that's a bit of a surprise here too. Heck Alida is still going at $29.99 and it's 2 years old already.
Sure that's not a typo?

Those screenshots are weird and what's up with the following Game Features text under the screens?
* Non-stop game action and exploration in full 3rd person 3D, including outdoor wilderness, swamps, forests, mountains, arctic lands, towns, villages, castles, dungeons, temples, caves, and forbidden ruins.
* Nail-biting 3D combat action featuring an arsenal of attack and defense combo moves with real time player control of all combat tactics, including a vast selection of weaponry, magic spells and powerful artifacts.
* Loads of personal quests and missions, featuring a world full of NPC characters to interact and bargain with, some who may become your ally, others who may be your enemy.
* Create your own character hero, choosing from a variety of races and multiple class specializations, featuring detailed character hero development that includes a host of personal attributes, skills, and special abilities.
* Extensive Inventory that features common, rare, and unique items.
* Full support for both Single-Player stand-alone and Multi-Player group game sessions.
* Designed, written and developed by award winning computer game author D.W.Bradley.

You aren't the only one who got confused. On GameBoomers there was some confusion as well.
It looks like the site layout person got the screenshots for the RPG confused with the description of Scratches which is just above.
It certainly doesn't do Scratches any favours by setting up the page that way. I bet a lot of people who read the description of the Victorian Mansion etc are scratching (no pun intended) their heads wondering how the medievel warriors fit into the scheme of things :-/
I do hope that for the sake of Agustin and company that they get it straightened out soon.

Alright! Whoohoo! Now this is one adventure game that's going to have plenty of ACTION! [smiley=rockin.gif] Check out that Teen rating: lots of blood and violence that all the little kiddies adore.
But dang, I don't remember any multi-player ability ... Agustin must still be working on that. And look at this outside shot of the mansion!

I've never seen that before; I going to bet there are some surprises not even the beta-testers know about! :

| Deleted User | I have been beta-testing this game for quite a long time now.
The "Short Description" seems right.
Both the "Screenshots" and the "Features" BEAR NO RESEMBLANCE WHATSOEVER to what I have been testing (and continue to beta test).

Now now, there's nothing wrong with a few butts to increase sales. Ugh.
I think GameStop has been notified already... the box there is temporary as well. This is the current approach to the final box shot:

This mock-up artwork!
And yes, $19.99 is the final price. So there's no reason why you shouldn't buy this game

Love the cover art!
Agustin, will the game be using copy protection? Please tell me it won't be using Starforce.

Don't be confused ! [smiley=happy.gif]....
No way an RPG ! [smiley=devil_smiley_grintail.gif]
A 'classic' 1st person mouse driven point & click Quest/Adventure horror/thriller game, with no "action" sequences (except 'brain-action').

Ì'm glad to say that we won't be using Starforce! In exchange, we'll be using our new state-of-the-art copy protection mechanism. Basically, you get to insert the CD and run the game only once. The CD will then melt into a steamy pile of shiny goo, rendering your CD/DVD drive useless and potentially damaging other sentitive components. The good news is, you can play the game once with no hassle at all!!
Well, you might have some issues while removing that CD from the drive... then again, it will be broken beyond repair, so who cares?!

I've never had a copy "protection" problem with a game published by GotGames. They either don't use any or use some benign form of checking for the CD that doesn't involve StarForce or Safedisk.
