On a side note I was listening to TLJ OST going into work today and it's soooooooooo good. Love it.

The soundtrack is quite excellent. Have my copy now but since I only have the pledge for a copy and not early access I'll have to wait like the rest.

Hi all,

Unfortunately, due to some last-minute snags, we will NOT be releasing at 1800 CEST today. There are some critical bugs in the latest version (one of which is also in yesterday's early access version) that affect, amongst other things, character voices and save-games.

We definitely do not want to release a potentially broken version to everyone on Steam, GOG and the Humble Store, and so we're working hard to fix these bugs before publishing the game.

Here's what can happen with our current, broken version:

After loading an auto-save, you get stuck. This can be fixed by reloading the save-game, but that's not a great user experience, obviously.

After switching the subtitles on or off, you lose the character voices. The voices come back again after a while, but this can ruin the experience of playing the game.

Mac version crashes on load. This is a new bug, and shouldn't be too hard to fix, but it's obviously quite critical!

There are a couple of smaller bugs in addition to this, but those are the major ones. We're working on fixing them right now, and we don't think it's going to take too long, but we do have to run through the game multiple times on multiple computers before we can publish again.

For those of you who have not yet redeemed your Steam keys (and additional content

With any luck, it won't be a late evening at Casa Red Thread, but we will keep y'all updated!

Team RTG

Looks like we'll all have to wait for a bit. But it's for the best.

Funnily enough, despite being a game I've been looking forward to, I'm kinda waiting for reviews. Don't really why. Habits, I guess. I only pre-order or buy games at release if I am 100% percent sure what to expect (e.g. Borderlands 2, Civilization: Beyond Earth). I guess there's just a few too many unknowns about this game for me right now.

Edit: Yeah, bugs was one of the unknowns that's worrying me. Good to see that they're going to try to not release a broken game.

@TheChris92 - thanks for the update, I have been checking GOG.com occasionally throughout the day as to when I could download. I would rather Red Thread Games take their time re bugs, so I might leave it a while.

Good. I'd rather wait then play a broken game.

Reminds me of when fallout: new vegas came out. I don't care how good of a game it is if it doesn't even work.

I went in with low expectations and was blown away. It's obvious that it's a crowdfounded game and it has its share of problems, most notably with lag issues in Chapter 3, but otherwise it's off to a very promising start. It feels exactly how a TLJ game should feel and the story has a lot of potential, though it remains to be seen whether choices will actually matter or whether they'll take the Telltale approach. Really looking forward to Book 2.

So far, all the player reviews make me hopeful. Seems to be a few optimization issues, but all the things I loved about Dreamfall are there: the writing, the locations, the voice acting. Haven't heard much about the music, though.

Yeah, I wonder why we can't download the music. It still says "coming soon" on GOG.

Chapters is amazeballs. So sad it is episodic as I loathe that practice. Glad I participated in kickstarting it though, as it's pretty much the first Kickstarter-funded game I feel was worth it all.
