    Looks kinda awesome to me. Sorta reminds me of Messiah with the whole "possession" bit.

    Meh.  I wasn't as impressed with Costume Quest as I would have like to have been, but this game seems like it would appeal to me even less...  Maybe after some reviews.

    I'm not sold on the idea. I would say that I trust Schaefer and Co. to make it work, but gameplay isn't really their strong point.
     
    However, as always, I reserve judgment until release.

    This, i can remember it being a pain in the balls at times though - cant remember if that was due to bugs or annoying puzzles.
     
    The gun that fired harpoons was awesome though.

    I expect it to be quirky, interesting and charming. I also expect it to sell fuck all. I hope I'm wrong about one of these.

    ...It's a puzzle/adventure. What's not to get? You play as the smallest of these Russian stacking dolls and you can take control of them as long as you are inside them. You use this power and each of the dolls unique abilities in order to advance in levels.

    Its kinda fucked that they're back to making adventure games and aren't doing a PC version. Maybe IGN just stupidly forgot to mention that version.

    The olde DF continues to prove that it is a collective of creative individuals that are interested in making games unlike everything else.

    Downloadables have a much lower bar for success. You can't look at Costume Quest's numbers and compare them to a retail game that costs 10 times as much to make.

    I'm glad you feel comfortable speaking on behalf of a development team that you're not a part of. We need more people who think they're industry insiders making shit up.

    @Ahmad_Metallic: I'm guessing Double Fine's commercial failures is the primary reason for Stacking and Clothing Party (or Costume Quest... whatever it's called).  Smaller downloadable games are require less investment and don't need to sell millions like retail games to be considered financially successful.

    Looks great, but if there's no PC version, I'll probably end up never playing it.

    @demontium: I would think the uncertainty factor of the end user's hardware is somewhat impactful as well. A 360 is a 360 and a PS3 is a PS3...a PC is...random

    It's pretty fresh concept and I'm liking the art style. I loved Costume Quest's quirk so I think this is for me. Any details on price yet?
