So, anyway. This free adventure game (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=1439) just came out. It's the sequel of this game (http://www.bigbluecup.com/games.php?action=detail&id=1095), which I played some time ago, and it was awesome.
It is awesome. Akril's first game was spectacular and this sequel is no exception. These are both extremely well-written, well designed, and well-animated adventure games and if you're any kind of adventure fan at all you will play these games and enjoy them immensely. The concept is brilliant and executed wonderfully. You owe it to yourself to play them. If you don't know what they're about here are the trailers:
The Inside Job:

All in the Game:

Fixed the links inside the quoted text.
Neat--Akril was on our team at one point, actually, quite a long time ago. Glad to see she's still making games! The premise sounds fun :)
That screenshot on The Inside Job's page.....is that the princess from Torin's Passage?
Regardless, I'm downloading them. Thanks for the heads-up; I had never heard of these games before.
Fixed trailer links...my bad. Watch them.
I had no idea there was a sequel. :D I played the first one a while back. I'm now torn between this and physics revision. :(
The sequel just came out a few days ago.

I've finished the second and it's even more brilliant than the first. Makes me want to play the first one again! And hope for a third title!
Akril truly is a fantastic writer. I thought I had these games figured out but they kept surprising me for the better. Any self-respecting fan of classic adventure games NEEDS to play these games. It's that simple. Not just for the content, but they're just so well-written and truly interesting commentaries on the state of adventure gaming today, how we look at it, and how we remember the past.
You owe it to yourselves to play these games.
Too bad it doesn't seem to work in Wine (the first game - I haven't tried the second game).

Not tried it myself yet. Make sure you've got the latest version. She's been quite brisk about fixing bugs.

I just finished the first game. Had to get around to playing it one day.
All I have to say is, brilliant! great job, Akril! What a great trip down memory lane!
I currently have Wine 1.2.3, the latest stable release, and I download Adventure:TIJ recently.
EDIT: I just re-downloaded it from the link you supplied, and it still doesn't work.
