What Murder in the Abbey offers, however, is an exceptional production of an outstanding story, accompanied by fun, intuitive puzzles that seldom bog down the plot's progression. Those design aesthetics, I believe, are the classical elements that make for good adventure gaming. Really, if animated, interactive storytelling appeals to you, you cannot go wrong by choosing Murder in the Abbey.

Runaway: A Road Adventure has faced a number of marketing challenges. The game is first released in Spanish in 2001. The English translation is not released until 2003, almost 2 years after the Spanish original. The delay is, in part, due to a protracted change of the English publisher from GMX Media to Tri Synergy. Fortunately, the game has survived with enough interest to spawn a sequel, aptly titled Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle. This ensures the return of Brian and Gina for another runaway adventure.
