{"title":"The Odd Gentlemen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Odd Gentlemen is an American independent studio founded in 2008 by Matt Korba and Paul Bellezza. From the start it has been known for a quirky, handcrafted art style and a love of clever puzzle design. Its debut, The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, began as Korba's graduate thesis at the University of Southern California. 2K Play then published it as a full release: a puzzle platformer whose storybook look became the studio's calling card. The team followed it with Slap Happy Sam for PlayStation Home, Sony's social space on PlayStation 3, and moved into mobile in 2012 with its first iPhone game, Flea Symphony. In June 2013, author Neil Gaiman announced that his first video game, Wayward Manor, would be made with The Odd Gentlemen, and it was released in 2014. That same year the studio was briefly attached to Hiveswap, Andrew Hussie's Homestuck adventure game. Its involvement was made public in June 2014 and was winding down by that October, when What Pumpkin Games took the project in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe studio's defining moment came on August 12, 2014. That day Activision announced that The Odd Gentlemen would make a new King's Quest as part of its revival of the Sierra label, handing a small, imaginative team one of the most storied names in adventure gaming. Built on Unreal Engine 3 and released in episodes, the game arrived in five chapters. The first, \"A Knight to Remember,\" came out on July 28, 2015, and the fifth followed in October 2016, with a playable epilogue closing the story in December 2016. The result keeps the humor, puzzles and fairy-tale charm of the classic series while adding the warmth and visual personality the studio built its name on. King's Quest: The Complete Collection gathers all five chapters plus the exclusive epilogue in one package. It is the complete way to play The Odd Gentlemen's most ambitious work and a strong entry point for anyone discovering the studio today.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kings-quest-the-complete-collection-pc-download","title":"King's Quest: The Complete Collection","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eKing's Quest: The Complete Collection is The Odd Gentlemen's re-imagining of the series that helped define the graphic adventure. Bedridden and reflective, an aging King Graham shares the untold tales of his life with his granddaughter Gwendolyn, from his first bid for knighthood to the challenges of ruling Daventry. This collection brings together all five chapters and the playable Epilogue, so the full story is yours from the first page to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Story Told Across a Lifetime\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis King's Quest does not remake the classic Sierra games. It weaves new adventures into the gaps between them and treats the originals as canon. Each chapter opens at Graham's bedside, and his storytelling frames everything that unfolds on screen: a hand-crafted storybook world full of whimsical characters, sharp humor and genuine warmth. Christopher Lloyd voices the elderly Graham, and the cast also includes Wallace Shawn, Tom Kenny, Josh Keaton, Maggie Elizabeth Jones and Zelda Williams. The collection was nominated for Adventure Game of the Year at the 20th Annual D.I.C.E.

The mix of wit, clever puzzles and heartfelt storytelling is what made the original games beloved, and it carries this collection too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you grew up guiding Graham through Daventry or you only know the stories, this is the collection to settle in with.
