Diehard GameFAN: Back in January, I did a little piece called “Ten Indie Games to Look Forward to in 2011″. First on that list was a horror adventure game for the PC known as Alpha Polaris. With the eventual release date of the game looming ever closer, I managed to sit down with Teemu Vilén, who is the project lead for Alpha Polaris as well as the CEO of Turmoil Games, and learned even more about what is one of the games I am looking forward to most here in 2011.

Jeffrey Matulef writes: Adventure games are a dying breed. With the exception of Telltale doing their best tribute to the golden age of LucasArts, it's up to the indie scene to resuscitate the genre that put Guybrush Threepwood, Leisure Suit Larry, and Gabriel Knight on the map. Finnish developer Turmoil Games' debut title, Alpha Polaris, is a noble attempt at revitalizing the point-and-clicks of yesteryear with a haunting premise and oppressive atmosphere, but its obscure puzzles, hammy writing, and repetitive environments left me cold.
