Yeah, very cautiously optimistic. It’s making me a bit anxious though that it sounds similar to what We Happy Few tried to do with the whole non-linear story thing.
They went bankrupt but got picked up by another company years later. They got a big chunk of the original team back on board, then they made The Expanse game, then they fired most of the team again.
I love Telltale’s stuff, but they’re a bit hit or miss for me. I really liked The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands, but really didn’t care for The Walking Dead sequels and Batman. A lot of companies tried to replicate what they had but they never had writing as good.
That said, Telltale really needed some alternate endings. There’s only so much “X will remember this” I can read before I realize how little my actions matter.
The last time I had that problem, it was because it had selected a Proton version I removed before. Try making sure that game’s compatibility is set correctly.
