This looks fun and I've only seen a few minutes of the Quick Look so far. I'm pretty rubbish at puzzle games though.

I might get this purely on the strength of its art design. It seems to be on a similar wavelength to Proteus.

I love a good travel system in games. When I was in the thick of Riven, I'd ride the underwater cart over and over, and in WoW I'd save up money just for Griffin trips. Watching Vinny travel from hub to hub practically got me drooling; I can see myself wasting plenty of time just messing around with that.

Great work on the soundtrack! Won't be surprised if it along with the game makes GOTY lists by the end of the year.

Sadly it's not out "by the time you see this", i just saw this and Steam says there's still 3 hours till release :/

This looks like an amazing concept for a game, i wonder how complex the studio will be with everything unlocked, might probably be good enough to produce some decent music.

But it shows that concepts like these are kind of held back by the controls, neither mouse&keyboard nor controller seam like a perfect fit. But when i saw this i instantly had to think about a control setup like this:

Imagine the game having support for a control setup like this! This is so damn cool, not far from now we all will be virtual reality music producers :D

The music at around 22:30 super reminded me of Colin Cunningham's music from the series he did for Make Magazine.

This seems like a cool thing. Having to click those hexagons to check both sides of that puzzle was kind of a bad move though.

Been looking forward to this game for like 5 years or something. I played the demo back then, before there was "OSC" connected to the title, and I don't think we even knew it would include a synthesizer in it.

Looks fantastic but I don't need to play this. I've played Antichamber because it looked cool and I was up for some puzzle solving, but after a while (4 hours) I just lost interest and stopped playing...this seems like the same thing.

Great design though.

Nah, it's fine once you realize that if you hold down the right mouse button while in "inspect" mode, you can still freely move the camera. Vinny was doing it the ultra-hard way that made it seem clunky. Just did that part myself, took about a tenth of the time he did clicking hexagons. :p

If you ask me, pretty amazing to be in that same conversation!

But if I was to give an early forecast based completely on first impressions, I already know what to more or less expect from a Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack; as awesome as it is, you got bonus points for originality this year from me, haha!

Wait, is @brad also color-blind, or does he think that chartreuse is a shade of pink? (1:53)

Perhaps he meant cerise?

This game looks cool, but also maddening in a way which means I'd never into it properly.

Man, if they had miraculously put out a MIDI controller with knobs, sliders, and pads, and such with this game... I would have no problems shelling out the dough for it.
