Hello dear visitor!
My name is Adriaan Jansen, Creative lead of Abbey Games, and Game and Media Technology student at the university of Utrecht in the Netherlands. I like to play games, make games, think about games, discussing games and occasionally, being left the heck alone.
I tend to blog at the Abbey Games website every now and then, so if you're really so bored that you wish to read my adventures and opinions, please visit me there! |

@Luis, you know, I played ... @Luis, you know, I played up to episode 4, and I must say that I don 't really feel the hype. The story is great, the characters are even better, and the relation between the two main characters is very well done. That relation alone is worth playing the game, ... |
