It’s got all the trademarks of a Double Fine game from the sight gags to the easter-eggs but for all the world it plays like a updated version of Earthbound, which can only be a good thing.
Definitely worth trying out at the very least. I’m gonna have to get me some Live points.
Yeah played if for a half hour or so last night and one word: adorable. It's such innocent fun. It's probably as good a game about Halloween as you are going to get, and about the overactive imaginations of kids. I'd say kids would love it, but tbh I got totally caught up in its charms too! A JRPG-lite turn based battle system, lots to do, lots to collect, plenty of fun dialogue. I can see it being misunderstood, but can't wait to get more time with it (although I am a Double Fine groupie)

Earthbound you say? I've just become very interested. Thought it would be more like Diablo since it's a western game didn't know it would be more like a JRPG. Definitely trying the demo tonight.

It's very basic JRPG, this should be stressed. The combat is very much turn based combat for beginners.
But that doesn't matter, because the whole package oozes charm. If you ever played with action figures as a kid, this game will appeal: it definitely is one of the strongest recreations of childhood imagination I've come across. I think dismissing it as simplistic would be missing the point, as it's designed to be that way. It's also designed to be fun, which it also most certainly is.
That said, I was embarrassed when I had to check google to figure out how to get past a certain bit trying to find an ingredient for pie
Damn

So is Earthbound, it's pretty much dragon quest so I'm even more interested now
