I just read an article about The Cave at Kotaku (
http://kotaku.com/5916447/the-cave-is-a-smart-game-that-reminds-me-whats-so-great-about-adventuring) and it got me really excited because I really love adventure/exploration games. The thing that struck me about The Cave is not how it's reminiscent of Maniac Mansion and Ron Gilbert's other games, but how much it reminded me of Live A Live (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_A_Live). Seven characters, each with their own story, they meet together at some point, etc. I really loved Live A Live (enough that it has a spot as one of my desktop backgrounds), so I'm really excited for The Cave.
