Quick Look: Miasmata

Cantina... I don't think that word means what you think it means.

This looks neat. I love listening to you guys looking for landmarks but forgetting that the lake is also a landmark. I learned that if I got lost in the woods with the GB crew, I am screwed. :-P

It is indeed pronounced MiAsmata. Greek.

I'm thinking that the makers of this game didn't realize that someone could be so rubbish with maps (I know that I was a bit surprised to hear it took 40 minutes to figure out how to triangulate).

Wow this is really boring

@Stojas: So Me-As-Maw-Ta or My-As-Maw-Ta? Or As-Matt-A? Oz-Maw-Ta?

Gonna buy this on Steam when I get my next paycheck. This game seems very interesting.

They are way over thinking the map system. The way they described it was accurate, but it's way more intuitive than they're making it out to be.

Fuuuuccckk this is my dream game

This game seems super cool. To be honest, I don't think I have the patience to play it myself, but it's interesting to see you play.

Not gonna lie, I'm really intrigued by this premise. I'm a sucker for immersive first-person experiences.

This seems pretty cool, thanks for showing us!

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I think this would work super well in an elder scrolls game if it was optional / a mod.

you trip in super smash bros brawl........

Yay, my request was granted!

I like the gfiction of the world you read about in the notes. The "Nationalists" taking over and such. It's obviously not our world, but it's very close.

@Trav: as we say in Russia: "I'm not coward but I'm afraid", I hope that's actually a real colloquialism there

Well I'm spreading it to America now as an authentic Russian anecdote, either way!

SOLD!

his name was robert paulson!

I want to see Patrick and Drew play all the way through this. It looks like it's probably not that long, but it would make a great Random PC Game.

Interesting...

Patrick: "fill up my cantina"

What like with chips and salsa and cervezas, because that would be delicious!

This game seems very interesting.

There's an illness (or something similar) called miasma (my-as-ma), so I'm going to assume this game is pronounced 'my-as-ma-ta.'

Anyone else completely freaked out while watching this Quick Look? I didn't know if the monster was going to appear out of nowhere--not even what it looked like!--so the whole time I was really paranoid.

This game looks fantastic. What a great concept! How much is it?

@alienjones: This is the very last place I'd expect to see some Darkplace.

Darkplace should be posted everywhere, and enjoyed by all (and to a lesser extent, Man To Man).

...Man, I've got no plans this weekend. I'm absolutely going to have to marathon this aren't I?

You tell me. Yes, I'll hold (I and you already know the answer).

@Pepperooni said:

Hooray for Darkplace!

You guys are alright.

you're all...buddies. aren't you?

Cool it Mello or you'll get a knuckle supper.

This would be an amazingly perfect game for me... if it didn't have the creature. I'm not a horror fan (grade-A wimp material, here), so the possibility that a creature could come at any time and shift the dynamic to a "get away or fight" (I'm assuming you're supposed to just get away) situation would create a tension in the game that I have no interest in. If they had an "easy" mode that simply turned off the creature for me, though, I could see it being in my top 5 this year, though.

And if they had a "hardcore cartographer" mode that forced you to position the lines and make notes yourself, GOTY material. Love that shit to death.

Those hands are messed up

Fellow wimp here, if it's any consolation the 'monster' in question not particularly terrifying, and clearly displayed in the promotional material.

I wish Patrick and Drew would play that game to completion together. I think they make a great team and Miasmata is a very interesting game, but not one I'd like to play myself.

Sold. Thanks for showing this.

This game seems kinda groundbreaking.

Miasma was what the Victorians believed caused cholera, the Black Death and other diseases before Dr. John Snow proved that cholera was spread via polluted water rather than "bad air".

This seems like a strange game. Rather slow paced, but interesting.

This seems incredibly tedious and the opposite of fun

This seems incredibly interesting and just the kind of game I'd love to dig into.

Tastes, huh?

Forget all other diseases we must find the cure for bloody sausage fingers disease now!

Thanks for doing a QL of this guys. The only thing is the price point. Its a good looking game and with a lot of appeal, but for $10 i think it becomes more attractive.

Seems super awesome, though something I would never touch. Though if there were some kind of Endurance Run....
 
 
Also, Patrick and Drew make a pretty awesome pair.

great QL, the game looks very interesting

I never even heard of this, but I like seeing someone try to basically do an indie Trespasser-style game.

@patrickklepek yep, the engine is built from the ground up. In a Reddit thread I made an ass of myself and said I loved Unity games like this, then they replied to me and said it was in-fact built from the ground up.

totally. maybe it'll show up on some random livestream they do.

Dagless and Sanchez. Darkplace reference. Another thing which makes this game great.

Somehow this was kinda nerve-racking for me to watch. It's something about the atmosphere, the guy's heavy breathing and Patrick's warning about there being a monster.

EDIT:

Totally.

Very cool. This looks really good. When I upgrade to a better PC it'll be mine!

This looks pretty sweet...

Joe and Bob Johnson are great names for game developers.

ENDURANCE RUN THAT SHIT!

Those arms man. They're too in the way when you're moving. But ah, this game looks pretty awesome. It blows my mind what people can come up with sometimes.

Looks really cool!

This is very intriguing. It deserves a bit more research but I may pick it up. I'd like to see more of it played here =)

Looks interesting, but no tatau no sale. Seriously though, I totally wrote this off when I saw it was greenlit. Now I'll more than likely check it out.
