I'm picking this up straight away on PS4 . I've been tracking if for I think nearly two years since it was first announced.

Will wait to see what the community think about this one. Devs are mates of a lot of the game critics I follow so I don't entirely trust their opinions of it.

Watched the Giant Bomb quick look with the devs and I'm definitely going to be picking this up at some point now. Looks like it does a lot more to keep you engaged compared to other so called "walking simulators".

Looks really good. I just hope the Idle Thumbs crew don't lay on the try hard controversy and desperation to appear politically correct too thick in the games writing.

Between this and The Witness,, the line between indie and 'triple A' is getting blurred. Exciting times.

Hope they don't use too many big words that I don't understand either.

I can't wait for one of them to be "ostensibly".
