Quick Look: Miasmata

Game needs some lighting shaders and some msaa effects, it's kinda blocky otherwise.

Really cool game! Not sure why it took Drew and Patrick 40 minutes to figure out a system that's explained clearly in the game, but whatever. It is a weird kind of thing, I suppose. Anyway, thanks for QLing this!

Im all for an endurance run on this. Get vinny involved though, he's into practical skills and ham radio and shit.

anyone else inspired to play some minecraft by this?

I like that the first thing I do is go in a giant circle. Fun game though.

looks like Farcry: Herpes Edition

This quick look was basically boring as hell to watch, but I'm glad I watched it. It looks like a pretty neat game.

Thanks for the heads-up guys - just bought this very interesting-looking game, and a good compliment to Far Cry 3 perhaps? Seems like I should play it for a while and then re-watch this to make sure I'm on track with the game systems.

Super duper rad, I voted for this on Greenlight. Glad to see it be released. Thanks @patrickklepek :)

Kind of reminds me of Pathologic a bit just in terms of the unique nature of the mechanics and some of the atmosphere. Will definitely check this out soon. Ton of screen tearing in this video though, turn on vsync next time?

This game looks great. I just wish they didn't prominently show the creature on the promotional image on Steam. I realize the creature probably isn't that big of a deal in the game, but it's still annoying when developers do that. I'd rather they just hardly mention anything about it and let you find out on your own that something is out there.

Dude how awesome would this be with track IR support. I would have to shell out for track IR and this game if they worked together.

The Quick Look really got me interested in this one and so I bought it on Sunday. Really enjoying the atmosphere. Great game.

ENDURANCE RUN THAT SHIT!

Totally. Getting that vibe, or maybe it's all this P4 Golden getting me nostalgic.

It's funny how the stuff we would find boring and mundane to do in real life becomes fun in videogames. I'm a sucker for Harvest Moon, and I guess this is why.

I love quick looks like these that introduce me to games I would've never known about otherwise. Really curious to play this at some point.

Vsync. Use it. Seriously, this quick look was almost unwatchable because of the tearing.

@cheesy123456789: I didn't notice a single instance of tearing. Not saying there wasn't any, but calling it unwatchable is the epitome of hyperbole.

Holy crap the screen tearing is ridiculous in this game! Can anyone confirm if there's a V-sync option?

Were you using HTML5 player?

I'll wait for a Steam sale. Like I do with 100% of my PC games.

This is the sort of game that i think would work well with the Wii U's game pad, whether it would sell on the platform is another question.

Real talk... you made up these words.

Man... do kids today know how to use things like triangulation? I'm actually kind of curious.

I wouldn't think that actual kids would really need to have to use triangulation... because they are kids. Let them have some fun before they grow up and need to survive on abandoned islands with carnivore monsters and bloody hands. ^^

Real talk: those words aren't even obscure. I've always been more of math and science student than an arts student, and I still learned those words during (or possibly shortly before) high school.

@triviaman09: Given the water animation, I think we might have been better off with the microscope animation
