Runaway 2 Demo Download

Instead of the final version that we expected to ship this month, CDV presents us with just a chapter from their upcoming Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle, in a 430 MB demo verion. More commonly konwn as Runaway 2, the adventure sequel is once again being developed by Pendulo Studios, and it will follow the same couple of characters - Brian & Gina - as they travel around the world in their quest to... do exciting and funny things in exotic locations. Or something.

In this one-level Runaway 2 demo, available for download locally, you'll be playing as Brian as he attempts to save his poisoned friend, Joshua. Traveling around the Alaskan wilderness, you'll be challenged to find just the right ingredients to create an antidote for Brian's traveling companion while avoiding the dangers all around. CDV also gave these additional details about this English demo:

"Though this demo introduces the fourth chapter of the game, puzzles have been reworked and the solution of the main enigma is completely different. Also, new dialogs have been recorded especially for this demo to offer players a completely unseen adventure sequence. Finally, the demo includes a few bonuses such as a superbly illustrated intro to present the adventure and players will happily find out in the menu option a video telling the story of Brian and Gina’s previous adventure."

The final version of Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle was supposed to be released today, but along with this demo comes word that CDV will only release it on March 12 in North America, and probably around that time in Europe as well. We're going to pretend this delay never happened, but only because there aren't many other PC adventure titles worth waiting for in the next couple of months.
