No, this isn't Space Quest as some elders here would know it. This is the same recipe the Two Guys used with SpaceVenture.

Space Quest on Steam

A comic sci-fi adventure from Guillotine Games. Step into the boots of a reluctant space hero who saves the galaxy by barely surviving it, aboard a ship that absolutely should not be trusted. Puzzles, set pieces and punchlines included. Blasting off soon.

Space Quest is a comic science-fiction adventure from Guillotine Games. You play Mayday McCoy a reluctant hero with his PAL 3000 Ai assistant whose plans keep colliding with a ship that has other ideas. Expect puzzles, set pieces, and punchlines.

Allegedly, it would have been continuity, but then IP got in the way so it is unrelated to Space Quest.

I have no idea who this developer and publisher are, other than some Marcus Mera (who worked on Collossal Cave 3D), but they are also remaking Mystery House,

Mystery House on Steam

A first and third-person horror revival of Roberta Williams' Mystery House - the 1980 classic that invented the graphic adventure. A game night in an abandoned Victorian House turns deadly. Solve its puzzles, uncover a buried legacy, and escape before the house kills you.

It is a bit strange, and some dedicated adventure websites are giving them backing; they are doing promos. I have no idea whether Ken and Roberta Williams are supporting them, though Mera is known to them. AFAIK, these Sierra IPs are in some hellhole at XBOX/Activision Blizzard, and IIRC, they aren't keen on releasing them. Mystery House is in the public domain. The interesting bit is that MMMera, Inc. and Guillotine Games have applied to trademark SPACE QUEST and it was issued back in December. Obviously, it can't be a Roger Wilco game.

I was a little snot-nosed kid when these games came out, so I have no idea who the developers were other than the Sierra branding, and well, there are the Two Guys, but they are well known. The Two Guys are to adventure gaming what Romero and Carmack are to shooters. I wouldn't know whether Mera worked on the OG Sierra games.

EDIT:

WTF?

^ Based just on the screenshots the game looks pretty bad.
 
Holy Moly!! Crimson Desert is ....mind blowing value for single player gamers. For dad gamers its another buy 1 game play for years.

Won't be surprised if a narrative driven DLC is sometime as well.

One of the only legit complaints I saw was that while combat looks great visually it feels floaty and less impactful than Wukong and Onimusha

Yeah, I also saw them saying there's no weight behind it.

Oh well, can't win them all.
