So, anyone got an opinion on Episode One yet? I completed it this afternoon.

I quite like the story, but it is hardly fleshed out in the first episode. It's definitely more interactive movie than 'graphic adventure'. There's virtually no backtracking unless the story leads you back to the area as part of natural progression, and a virtually non-existant puzzle and inventory system. I'm leaving my opinions about the rewind mechanic until I have completed the story in its entirity since it leans so heavily as part of the narrative.

A question for anyone who has played episodic games before; what's the economic incentive for releasing them in such a way? It seems a bit of a waste of time since the playtime of each episode is miniscule. I literately finished this in just under two hours, and a little under four after reading all the literature on the characters, experimenting with alternative choices and collecting all the photos. Releasing once a week, I could understand, if they wished to simulate some sort of television serial - but six weeks between each episode, when each episode has such a limited range of content and storyline... I'm confused. Ha!
