You lost me there
Interesting, but I'll wait for a huge sale.
I've seen too many puzzle FPAs these past couple of years.
high rated
My uncle is a white supremacist; I hope this story his better than his! :P
The animation on the hands is a bit too bland and rigid, but it looks like it could be fun. Wishlisted.
Nty, I'll pass.
Played the freeware version of this game (I think it was a student's project) a long time ago and it was quite good. Looking at the screenshots and the trailer, it seems they went a long way since then.

Won't buy it right away, but it definitely goes to my wishlist.
To the wishlist it goes. I will have to wait until reviews pile up for it but the grappling hook mechanic looks interesting by itself.
Looks pretty fascinating! Onto the wishlist for now. :)
Just in case anyone is interested: Here's a link to the old freeware version of the game:

I've got that version too, for some reason I though it was THE game. Kind of surprised to see it in another form here. Looks great, and the premise sounds good. Nice to see GOG continuing to bring us games with that something different about them. (And also happy to see releases happening on more than just Tuesday and Thursday now!)
Wow, looks great. Wishlisted for now. No use in buying it, when going on holidays tomorrow with no computer :D
