Comes out on 23rd January 2013, looks kinda cool and made by the creator of the Monkey Island series so I'd imagine it would have that kind of humour.

It features 3 player 'Local Co-Op' so not sure exactly what that means (maybe co-op on a LAN but not via the internet?)

Its only a short game, maybe 2-3 hours in total depending on how you tackle it.

From an aesthetics and sound point of view it is very good. It has a decent albeit short story line. There are 7 characters of which you pick 3, each with their own special ability. These abilities can be used to solve the various puzzles along the route.

I didnt find it as funny as the Monkey Island games, but I still enjoyed it and reckoned they've priced it right at about £10 or thereabouts.

I've yet to confirm this, but I think the puzzles/story will change a bit depending on which characters you pick.
