CAGiversary!
Although I'm fairly certain that nobody here really gives a shit about long-gone adventure genre, this is for everyone who would appreciate these here news. And I mean both of you.

Now, as for the game itself...
[quote name='Wikipedia']The game, like many 'classic' adventure games, is viewed from a third-personhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-person perspective and is mouse driven with the player clicking on locations for the main character to move to, objects to examine or pick up, etc.
The central protagonist of Secret Files: Tunguska is a young Russian woman called Nina Kalenkow, the daughter of scientist Victor Kalenkow. He has mysteriously disappeared and Nina sets out to find him - during the game the central character sometimes switches to Max Gruber, a colleague of Victor Kalenkow's (some puzzles can best be solved by using the alternative character if both are present at the location). Their investigations lead them to Tunguskahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska, Siberia, the location of a mysterious and devastating explosion in 1908.
At the end of the game there is a message saying that the characters will return with another game in 2008 so there is a possibility that more games are due in the sequels.[/quote]
If you really want to play it in its original PC splendor, you can check out the demo here. (Warning: the file is 600 MB. SIX HUNDRED MEGABYTES.) I'm pretty stoked, and have all my fingers and toes crossed that adventure games on the DS is not a mere flash in the pan.
