If it was on xbox it would be 100,000 copies by now. Shame

I think that's a joke about PSN games not selling well. At least I hope.

Another play through saturday night off-line, (which I'm beginning to think should be the default position until you've played it through on your own at least once), just to show my partner the story so we went through it fairly quickly. Couldn't believe it when, not very far in at all, she says to me "so are you reborn as a star then ?"

Anyway I keep noticing little details every play through - the whole enlightenment / continual re-birth thing is very buddhist - (the mountain at the end certainly strikes me as more tibet than the sahara beginnings) - you really do die to be spiritually reborn. And I love the way, as the credits roll, you see little other 'yous' still struggling to make the same journey you just finished

Oh, and on the mountain, one of them kite things, plummeted from the sky into the snow head first, frozen solid beyond being able to be warmed back up - probably the saddest part of the game for me when the little chap dies !

Still missing four scarf tokens - aargh !

It is indeed. :lol:

Link doesn't work for me but the article is there on the edge site so thanks for the heads up.

My latest simple joy with this game is that if you fly and push forward as you land you get to do a somersault in the sand - yes I'm that easily pleased; (well I just like little extra touches that show that somebody cared).

Judging by the sales of Cthulhu Saves The World, if it was on the PC then by now, the developers would be rich enough to own their own continent.

Just one more scarf thingy to go. Inevitably it is on the surfing level but I will find it ! (Or, more likely, I will resort to cheating and just go to gamefaq...)

Got my white garment and scarf now! 8-)

Just completed it again with another white scarf player. Amazing experience - well worth the effort to attain. Lovely, lovely game.

Bastard !! I just cant find that last scarf symbol on the surfing section - no matter which version of a walkthrough I use. But I wll have that white cape, I will !!!

You are right, beautiful game, - the more you lay it, the more you get out of it.

Finally, finally, I am a white cloak person. Suddenly the game is even more beautiful than it was before ! And I am still observing things I never saw before. Awesome game.

It makes it even more special. That one on the surfing level is a blink and you'll miss it one isn't it? :lol:

The game is just incomparable to anything else i've ever experienced. The fact that you can just do one level through the hub makes it's replay value a lot higher.

Bliss and i think it's that it is so opposite to COD that i love it so. The contrast (and contrasting effects on me) of both are startling. :wub:

What exactly does the white cloak do for you?

Gives you a longer scarf from the start and once you land it regenerates itself. Once the scarf gets larger your journey becomes ever more inventive and beautiful. It also affords you the role of teacher to other players as you can show them where the glyphs are.

Bought this two hours ago and finished it. Worth the £10 its beautiful

I love how you meet people along the way :wub:

Meet 8 peeps 8-)

How do you get a white cloak?

Find ALL the secret symbols hidden throughout the game - be warned some are more obscure than others.

Great game isn't it. I've been through it a dozen times now and I'm still learning - lots of things are very subtle to observe and it works on a good three levels - 'real', metaphysical and spiritual - if you can be arsed to thing about things too hard ! Or you can just find it a truly beautiful experience, head and shoulders over pretty much every other videogame I've played. There's some good stuff on the game on 'thatgamecompany's' website but obviously also many spoilers.

I was chuffed to bits when I completed it with the fullest length scarf possible but then you still lose it in the gale winds on the mountain at the end :lol:

I finished this the other night. I'm obviously not fawning over it like you guys are :lol:

Maybe you people just aren't used to indie games :lol:
