Here you go. Game's pretty good, but I wasn't able to play much. It's by the creator of Broken Sword, so witty dialogue is at least a given.

Now, the download won't work for anyone outside the UK, so just use this:

Just paste the first link I gave there, and use it to download the game. I know, I know, if this counts as piracy, just gimme a warning and I'll remove the link. Because BBC plans to eventually SELL us the game, for us, in other areas, in JULY, MAYBE, I guess this was pretty much an early response to highway robbery the way fansubs are. Anyway, any kind of problem with this, and I'll remove it immediately. Just say the word, I don't want any trouble.

What are the system requirements?
Just tell me if it expects from a card to have pixel shader.

The site has a requirement checker. It doesn't run on my incredibly old Pentium 4, that's for sure.

Well, it does require a pixel shader.
Too bad for me.
Shame the music is in such low quality. : <

Still ,gonna give it a listen.

Also, APPARENTLY, installer connects with the internet.
Go figure.

I've made it able to run, but it still runs slow as hell. It doesn't help that the options only make you able to change the resolution and the graphics from low, standard, high and very high. Come on, where are the textures option? Shadows? Other stuff!

I used free version of swift shader to make everything visible(because I COULD run it, it's just that everything was blaaack) and on a very low res, it was running quite good... in the menu, because when it came to game it never loaded me the actual gameplay. ;_;
also, that [tornado fang]ing swift shader thumbnail... fffff.

Runs as smoothly as it can on the menu for me... gameplay is slow as hell with one frame per second.
