Saw this yesterday. It looks decent, but I’m a little worried that the gameplay will become boring after a while.

Damn that looks like it could be really fun. Same concern as deathmonkey though, looks like it’s just all going to come down to how good the implementation and variation is.

Yeah, and the whole hint/clue/investigation mechanics seem somewhat convoluted. Need to see more of it. I’m sure they’re closely monitoring tester feedback for possible streamlining, if needed.

Full marks to the studio for attempting something totally different for the genre.

I hope the hints can be turned off. Seems too handholdey if not.

It does look stunning though.

Yes, that’s what I got from the gameplay video - too much handholding.

I agree, the game engine looks quite capable and renders well.
