I wonder how many people actually played it?
I was wondering the same. Can you get it on Steam?

You cannot. The company looks to sell it directly through Amazon though.


On a mostly unrelated topic, while I haven't played much of the actual game, Offworld Interceptor's FMV intro was amusing with its ripoff of the MST3k format. It has the stereotypical terrible FMV...with a silhouette of a couple guys on a couch making fun of it.

I like the Command & Conquer FMV scenes.
It's time to kick a$$ and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of gum.

I recently played my copy of Stonekeep for the first time to get psyched for the upcoming release of Legend of Grimrock. It turns out that it has some extended FMV cutscenes, and occassional use of FMV characters.

Also, others have recommended that I play Lands of Lore 1 & 2 for more of that classic Dungeon Master/Eye of the Beholder style of gameplay. It turns out that the sequel uses a lot of FMV as well.

I gotta say, Myst I-III were the kings of FMV to me. Integrated into the actual gameplay creates for a huge level of immersion. For a point-and-click adventure game, anyway.
