    No matter how similar their game might look, without Robert Kurvitz, it won’t be a true successor.

    On that note, he’s written a novel that is related to DE. Entirely in estonian of course, with only fan translations available.

      If you look for it, there’s a recent fan translation available that’s a combination of efforts from many different fan translations. I’m reading it and so far it’s pretty nice, evocative of the games writing.

      Yeah these are all interesting and I’ll follow their development for sure, as I know there were a lot of talented people that worked on DE. But I would be hard pressed to call anything a true “successor studio” without any of Kurvitz, Rostov, Hindpere and Tuulik - and preferably all four of course.

      Well that’s just like your opinion, man.

      But i think it was a pretty unique game with an interesting art style.

      It also had a well written story with unique characters that left an impression.

      I’d played it for a few nights before my wife asked me what show I was watching.

      She just heard all the dialog and through cuno was annoying.
