I first saw that phrase and image together on a t-shirt someone walking by me on the shirt was wearing. Always thought it was fantastic

[Enchantermon]

Haha, that's awesome!

[Haids1987]

Well, I'm glad you guys accept me, devil worshiper or not.

(Might we be scaring off our newcomers?)

I am so excited for this new game. The Silver Lining is absolutely brilliant so far. I've been a KQ fan ever since I was 5, and have been obsessed with it throughout the years. The creativity put into the game and the story-lines that make it so suspenseful really pull the players into it. It makes us always want to know what happens next, and everything that happened in the past. Rock on!

I've been watching this forum for a few years, but this is my first post.
I have been following The Silver Lining on this site since about 2009, after having found this site almost by accident.  I remember when this game was first announced way back in the late 1990's, and then --- became abandonware.  When I found this site, and saw that TSL was in development, I nearly fell out of my chair.  I downloaded the demo and tried it in my (old) computer, which didn't have a video card, and all I got on the screen was like what the title indicated ("shadows") and the characters were no more than black silhouettes.
I, recently, got a new computer, and tried The Silver Lining on it, and practically jumped out of my chair, backwards.  I could hardly believe the excellent job you guys have done with this game, so far.

Hello everyone,
I've only discovered this game 5 days ago and have quickly become addicted to it.  love Love LOVE this game!  I've never played King's quests but can only imagine the nostalgia many of you experience  but I've been a lover of adventure games such as Myst, Sam and Max, The Longest Journey, etc.  Thank you so much Phoenix team for giving us such a wonderful game and story!  Looking forward to Ep. 5!

I did a web search for "best adventure games" that lead me to www.adventuregamers.com.  while reading/browsing their website, i noticed they had a freeware tab and clicked on it.  First thing that caught my eye was the screen shot of Rosella set in the winter background.  This was the first time I searched for free adventure game and was impressed by the quality of the graphics that reminded me of playing Syberia and The Longest Journey to name a couple.  I didn't really know what to expect from a freeware, but once I started playing, I was amazed by the quality of the voice actors, music, sound effects and the ever so entertaining dialogues and narratives.  The storyline has been captivating leaving me wanting more!
