Here is the teaser site. It's pretty bare bones, but it still has me excited.

It will be an exploration puzzle game on an uninhabited island. Hopefully, it will have a deep story that I won't understand until the someone explains it to me. Although, I will buy it no matter what the price!

As for this game, i'm pretty excited to see it - how it plays, and just the artwork.

@Steve_C: Yeah, Braid is a beautiful example as why games should be treated as art.

Bare bones is saying it lightly but any new announcement from Jonathan Blow has me intrigued. Let us hope that this can get anywhere close to the brilliance that was Braid.

Late 2011? Ok, why not come back in like a year or something? This hardly seems worth the time right now.

Full steam ahead! STEAM hopefully being the operative word here. Some art youtubes are floating around too.

It would be too much to ask for a showing at E3? Right?

As much as I liked the gameplay in Braid, and as much as I appreciated how it tied in with the story they were telling, I wasn't blown away by it. And so far this just looks like Myst.

Also Jonathan Blow comes off as a real douche. Especially when he put quotes from a poem in his credits. I mean, you wanna talk about pretentious. Damn, son.
