Perhaps the most interesting thing we took away from the demo was the simple joy of playing what felt like an old-school adventure game. While it shouldn't be a complete surprise, given where Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer cut their teeth, playing The Cave feels a lot like diving into one of the classic LucasArts adventure titles. It's not something that's easy to quantify, as there's no single thing that stands out. Taken together, however — the art, the interaction of the characters, the pacing — it feels perfectly in line with the style of games that came out of LucasArts in the late '80s and early '90s. Whether you're an adventure game aficionado or a newbie to the genre, it looks like there will be plenty to like in The Cave.

High praise indeed. I like the visual style as well. Ima try this out.
