Thanks for the heads up. Looking at the screens really invoked the nostalgia from the days of Sierra glory. A new one for the wishlist :)

Just guessing they didn't reach the goal the first time, so many that didn't make it, a Kickstarter from the guys behind Space Quest didn't either.

In 2012, The Coles financed Hero U: Rogue to Redemption through a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.
They are developing the game under their company, Transolar Games, Inc.
After a number of development challenges documented in Kickstarter project updates, Transolar Games rebooted development in January 2015 by adding several experienced Unity developers to the team. The Coles extended the game financing with a second successful Kickstarter campaign..
According to details from the Kickstarter updates, the total project budget as of April 2018 exceeded $1 million, consisting of $500,000 from the two Kickstarter campaigns along with personal savings, loans, and outside investment. Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption entered Alpha Testing in August 2017, with Beta Testing scheduled to begin in April 2018 and commercial release in July 2018.

So assuming with over $1 million in it, the game should be long enough and worth it enough for such a price tag (or maybe wait for a slight discount on sale) unlike f.e this https://store.steampowered.com/app/765870/Leisure_Suit_Larry__Wet_Dreams_Dont_Dry/

After two successful Kickstarter campaigns and over five years of development, we are proud to present Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption. Created by the critically acclaimed game developers Lori Ann Cole and Corey Cole (Quest for Glory, Shannara, Castle of Dr. Brain, Mixed-Up Fairy Tales), the Hero-U series follows the role-playing adventures of top students at the Hero University.
In Rogue to Redemption, Shawn O'Conner strives to become Rogue of the Year while exploring a mysterious castle, making friends and enemies, fighting deadly foes, and uncovering the secrets of his own hidden past. Meanwhile players will enjoy the rich and humorous dialogue and descriptions as they guide Shawn through his adventures.
In the tradition we created in Quest for Glory and in Shannara, Hero-U is a hybrid adventure/role-playing game. During the day, Shawn attends classes at the University, practices his skills, and tries to make friends with other students. At night, it's time to pull out weapons, armor, and traps to explore the abandoned wine cellars, stunning sea caves, creepy catacombs, and deadly dungeon beneath Hero-U. Most combat is optional for those who prefer a pure adventure game, but there are ample rewards for those who choose to valorously fight the creatures that threaten the school and all of Sardonia.

From what i tried so far it really plays like a Quest For Glory game.
