Downloading on Xbox One right now....can't wait to play!
finished. pretty good, trophy hunting will be fun and annoying.
they need to patch in skipping scenes you've already seen.
more comments to come later.
edit: also, it's really stunning, but not in your face about it. The High Moon animation team did a great job too, but i love the color palette and line width on things

This game is incredibly charming and full of personality, it's like playing a cartoon. I am loving it.

Please link screenshots, I've already seen more than I would like and don't even know when I'll be able to play the copy I bought.

Dunno where you live, but there's a new download in NA. I'm DL'ing it now.
Store seems unusually slow, unfortunately, but I think we're a go

I'm downloading again right now (2 hours left) but nothing indicated that it would work for sure this time. I didn't see "Free" on the game's page like others have reported. It actually said "Unavailable" under the link to the game's page, then when I visited the page there was a "Download" button which I hit. Fingers crossed.

We'll see. Some of the folks on the Sony forum say they can play now after this.
I hope so, I really want to play!
I'm waiting for a response to this too. Afraid to buy until it's confirmed safe.

Well, shit. I guess I'll see what happens. I've got 40 minutes left.
UPDATE: Downloaded the free thing, didn't get in.
Then restored my licenses (again), now I am playing King's Quest.
I talked to Sony they told me they received an incomplete file. First guy gave me a bogus number to call and the second guy gave me Activision number but the options are for 3 games so it hung up on me. I deleted the game and am downloading the free version that showed up. Download size is about 2 gigs bigger then the pre download "crosses fingers".
I'm doing the same thing. When I deleted and re-downloaded last night, it made me download the themes again. This time it didn't, and like you said, the size is different, so hopefully all this means it'll work.
Ok, restored my licenses for the second time and now it works.

Been enjoying it on PS4. AWESOME game . So much meatier than the Telltale adventure games i've been playing.
. So much meatier than the Telltale adventure games i've been playing.Subscribed to your channel, watching some of your reviews, I find them very accurate and with some much less biases.
Really enjoying this game. It has a ton of charm. Was only able to play for an hour or two, but will put more time into it tomorrow.
It has been so long since I played a game like this. It's pretty refreshing and am digging the story telling aspect of it. It reminds me of some of the classic 80's movies.

The one I am currently downloading is 4.651 GB. I have a feeling I'm fucked. Maybe I didn't wait long enough before re-downloading.
I'll wait til it finishes anyway, it's my one chance to play tonight.
edit: The PS Store web site lists the game as 2.8 GB, I might actually be okay! 9 minutes left... there aren't enough limbs to cross.

Mine works now, same GB as you, 4.651. After the download finished, I restored my licenses for good measure. Hope you're ok too!
EDIT: Well now looking at it, it says total size 7.89 GB (which was the first number before it switched on me). But it works so what the hell.

I am really enjoying this game.
It has such charm to it and the art style really helps give it a fairy tale/dream-like quality.
Also find it find to fail on purpose just to hear what Chrisopher Lloyd will say.
There are even achievements for doing that (at least one so far that I found).

How long is the game? someone in here said they already finished, damn! Is it me or do these Episodic games tend to be insanely short?
firehawk12
Subete no aware
I mean, I'd honestly prefer it to be short to be honest. I'm just wondering if they've somehow justified the price.
If this was Quest for Glory or Gabriel Knight, it'd be a no brainer for me. It's just I have the least nostalgia for KQ so there's some hesitation. lol
Yep... the whole enchilada for the ps4. 39.99 And I get to play an epilogue. I don't know if PC version has it too.

Makes sense.
Gotcha. I think all versions get it if they buy the whole thing.

What's the best format? Controller or mouse?

Wow! This game has blown my socks off. I was expecting a cheap cash in on the Kings Quest name. I grew up playing these games on the PC years ago. I've tried to return to them but it is more like visiting a museum than the amusement park they used to be for me.
The creators of this game have simply out done themselves. The animations, backgrounds, music, voice over work etc are just phenomenal. My daughter sat alongside me today as I played. She laughed and smiled the whole time just as I used to when I played these games so long ago. I simply wasn't expecting this to be good and I wasn't expecting this to be as engaging and amazing as it is.
It's like Uncharted meets Disney meets Kings Quest meets The Walking Dead(Telltale). FANTASTIC and HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
For reference I am playing on the PS4 and there is no hitching what so ever in the graphics and the game feels highly polished.

Posting from my phone before going to bed so I'll keep this short.
I am in love with this game. Gorgeous, funny, polished... enchanting. My eyes also got watery at some point due to the combination of how long I've waited for a new King's Quest and how beautifully crafted this one is. It's
that did me in.

the vista you get before reaching the first creek
its pretty neat actually because the game is told as a story graham is telling his granddaughter, so when theres a death they make a variety of little jokes out of graham telling the story wrong. And you select continue or quit.

bought full package , loaded up, but I dont see where to play prologue. only chapter. what gives?
thats correct. The full package gives access to an epilogue which wont be released until the end.
The game seems like it starts abruptly but keep playing and it will explain.

It says, prologue with purchase. isnt prologue the start?

With this game the start is the middle, the end is the middle and the end is the start LOL. It really won't be a big issue the way the game is told.
