Thanks for the walkthrough, shame it seems so short though.

It's one piece of a five chapter game, how long were you expecting it to be?

Comparing it to the length it took me to finish the others, a bit longer.
Also this coming out not too long after 4, which was just basically a puzzle chapter, this somehow feels rushed.

You're proving the catch 22 of the industry. If they spent longer it would have been breaking their promise to have the full game out this year. Now since they got it out faster it "feels" rushed... when they promised after Chapter 2 that all the chapters after Chapter 1 would be much shorter.

Length =/= Quality. And the chapter can feel a lot longer for people who don't breeze through the puzzles thanks to a walkthrough. :)

I didn't really need a walkthrough for this one, and i finished it in 2-3 hours (the last puzzles were a breeze), the others more hours (or several evenings) even with walkthroughs for some hints.
I wouldn't care if they make their promise if that would mean the chapters would have been longer, but that's me.

2-3 hours is the average completion time of every single chapter after Chapter 1. <_<;

You need to remember that these chapters are all part of a single video game. With an average of 7 hours for chapter 1 and 2.5 per chapter after that, that's an average playtime of 17 hours total.

Notably, the longest King's Quest I can find before this one, and this is a longplay time (meaning the person did EVERYTHING including explored every last conversation branch) was 5 hours.

This is what I mean by an impossible standard. Literally the longest King's Quest game ever made and it's still "too short".

But I don't get who the new King/Queen is?! The King is Dead.

Did you not pay any attention at all? It's extremely obvious all the way through all five chapters who is going to be responsible for the kingdom after Graham.

That depends on the choices you made in the previous episodes.

Oh is it ? did you get a different ending ?

[wilco64256]

I'm pretty sure that's not accurate, I think the person Graham leaves the kingdom to is the same no matter what. I'd love to know what choices could result in a different final outcome with that addendum change being such a critical story element.
