Best game making a return finally

Cool. But assuming it is still episodic, I won't be getting it for a long while. I have no interest in getting anything piecemeal.

The first is really good. I mean, I hate these point and click QTE story games, but TWAU was the exception. It was everything I wanted from a setting and concept like that. That god awful show, Once Upon a Time, had came out a year or so prior and I couldn't believe how that idea was handled so goddamn shittily. I know they weren't exactly the same. Once was far more Disney, but fuck it tilted me. TWAU felt like sweet justice.
