Giant Bong dot com

Was just thinking about getting this but was going to wait for a quick look.

Very curious about this one.

Whoah, no Patrick on an art game QL! :(

This game does not look like my type of game.

All games are art, bro.

Cool, after their second whirlygig-time-cycle-changeamajigaroo, the season changed to autumn.

I like this thing. Seems like a labour of love.

Not to be super reductive...but it just looks like a bunch of blocks to me.

Too late.

It seems to me it´s a calm looking game, if you can call it that. Maybe something to use if you need a relaxing time perhaps?

This looks fucking dumb. Why do people get excited about this shit.

Why do people get excited about anything?

Looks rad. I need more de-stressing games in my life.

I'm all for minimalist graphics, but this is maybe a bit much.

edit: I take that back. The nights look awesome.

Brilliant commentary.

Just what are you insinuating here exactly?

Something isn't right here, I think there might be something up with Brad's mic quality? It's not quite right.

"Do you know the origin of that word 'saunter?' It's a beautiful word. Away back in the Middle Ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, "A la sainte terre,' 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them."

Go to the statues in the night and look to the sky. Do it

Sandbox. Though I will admit, this game doesn't have many toys in the box.

I love games like this. Mystery and exploration. It reminds me of Tail of the Sun.

Really like the look and sound of this game, really relaxing. Don't think I want to pay $10 for this though - I'll wait until it's on sale.

The game is so nice, calm and realxing, while his voice is the complete opposite.

Take it easy there chief. Don't make me sound the horn...

The ending was hilarious. Once I'm done with The Cave, I'm all over this. And let my casual relatives and friends try it out.

I can't buy into the world I'm seeing here. Just feels too bland and featureless. Maybe if there was some sign of the animals interacting with eachother, or with the player in a more complex way, or if there was some kind of basic interactivity with the world, it might succeed in what it was attempting... As it is it just looks like I'd get the same feeling from moving a postcard around in front of my face.

Awesome, gonna chill out and relax to Brad's soothing voice.

inb4 someone wrongly using the word pretentious.

I like the aesthetic a lot, but I don't know that I'll buy it.

Audio clipping!

Wut?

Needs a little sugar...

i highly recommend not watching this quick look if you actually want to play this game. they show off stuff that it is way more fulfilling and exciting to discover on your own. i think knowing what to expect can ruin a lot of the experience of this game.

@Splodge: And the first time it changed from spring to summer. The game changes two times more than shown in the video. This game is less free than you might think, it's actually quite linear, with a pretty clearly defined end. I highly recommend it. It's a lot more of a "game" than people makes it out to be.

Jeff was totally in the vibe at the end there!

I'm teabagging this hill. To let them know that it is mine. Haaa

This looks and sounds super relaxing. There are a few games out there that let me relax completely, like Red Dead: just riding around the desert is awesome. Or flying around the island in Just Cause 2.

Not sure if I would buy this sort of game with my hard earned cash though JUST to chill out.

The fall environment sounds like Boards of Canada

Looks super cool but 10 bux is a bit steep for an interactive screensaver.

I bought this ages ago and my impression was that it should be a free flash game, not something you pay for.

wwwwwwwwhhhhhhhoooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa broseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeffffffffffff
