People need to stop jumping onto the conclusion that this is what the game will look like. The Scrabania scene is clearly from a early, pre-alpha stage as it looks very unfinished. The lighting doesn't look like it's even been added yet, that's what's giving that over-brightness of the environment.
This was my thinking – to my eye, the 3D models are done and there’s some basic lighting, but I reckon they’ve yet to add the more complex shading and lighting effects.

JAW released those images. That means they were proud enough of them to show them off to the world. That suggests that they were reasonably well done. And that's slightly worrying. Promotional shots are usually the best that a game will look. Not the minimum quality or even the average quality.
JAW are generally more concerned with getting the message out than presenting finished-quality images – Abe HD was debuted with a pre-alpha gameplay footage and screenshots.
