RUNAWAY, THE DREAM OF THE TURTLE
Released in 2003, Runaway, A Road Adventure injected adventure games with new life by becoming one of the biggest hits of the year with over one million PC units sold in the world. What the Spanish development studio and game's creators, Pendulo Studios, did that was so successful was to propose a distinctly adult adventure with a duo of charismatic heroes, a cast of highly colourful characters and a good dose of humour. The whole cocktail looked good, and sounded good, served up as it was with an original eye-catching graphic style with the perfect soundtrack.
Aware of the expectations a sequel to Brian & Gina's adventures would trigger a few years after the first release, Pendulo Studios has taken its time to develop and improve this new episode called The Dream of the Turtle. The team has worked hard with a very clear and precise objective: to make the game better than the original in every way and offer an even funnier and captivating gaming experience.
