This may be billed as a 'reboot,' but it's not the sort of modern update that fills vintage fans with dread. Winterbottom and Wayward Manor, handle reprising King's Quest? The answer is a mix of all of the above in a way that's distinctly its own.įrom the early press demo I see at GDC, King's Quest seeks to combine Telltale's episodic structure with Double Fine's lofty production values while staying true to the classic Sierra games with their penchant for comic deaths and multiple endings. So how will The Odd Gentlemen, the LA studio behind The Misadventures of P.B. And then there's Maniac Mansion creators Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick successfully Kickstarting their faux 1987 throwback Thimbleweed Park. In another, we've got Double Fine remixing old templates with modern tech and style with Broken Age. And how diverse a return it's been! In one corner, we've had Telltale's streamlined, linear take on interactive storytelling.

But in these past few years it's finally returning.

For the better part of the last two decades the adventure game genre was thought dead.
