They shouldn't have made it pixelated. I understand that they want to maintain a retro art style because of the genre, but the art looks amazing. I want to be able to see it as clearly as possible.

If the pixel look is so important to them, they could have added a retro option in the settings.

This looks absolutely fantastic. Wadjet Eye is putting out so much quality lately.

A shame Valve still makes them go through Steam Greenlight for some bizarre reason.

I really hope the next generation of consoles adopts releasing these kinds of games on their respective platforms, at least through digital distribution (wishful thinking? ; / ).

@Flacracker: @BeachThunder: I'm sure the creators of goddamn Gemini Rue came up with something more to this game than one twist. Maybe I'm wrong, and even if I'm not, this still looks great.

A little too "summer blockbuster trailer"-ey for what seems to be a fairly cool cyberpunk adventure game.

Does cyberpunk imply any human interaction? Is this robotpunk, or something? Whatever the case, I'm glad there are people exploring other opportunities besides 'near-future conflicts in Arab nations'.

But! A traditional adventure game about a military conflict in an Arab nation sounds like it could be awesome.

Man, with illustrations this good, the choppy/cheap animation is unfortunate. I wish a developer like Wadjeteye, or Wormwood here, would partner up with some animators. Could you imagine if a game like Braindead 13, Dragon's Lair or The Act were paired with the storytelling and puzzles and atmosphere of something like this?

Did you just spoil a game that hasn't even come out yet ={ I hate you because you're probably right.

Well, this game seems awesome anyway...

These guys don't get enough credit for what they do. Gemini Rue was fucking awesome and Resonance is almost as good.

I still need to buy Gemini Rue. But whenever I go to buy it I never have any money, or I find something else to buy.

Fuck you. I'm sure you figured it out and if you hadn't of said anything I could of played this game without expecting a twist at all. That is why I found the twist in Gemini Rue pretty good.

Every time I see a new wadjet eye game, a small part of me wishes they'd switch engines from ags to visionaire engine or something.

Looks really fantastic. I wish there was a way to play Wadjet Eye games on my mac. Oh well, I've been thinking about installing a windows partition on this old macbook pro anyway.

Looks like Machinarium combined with Beneath a Steel Sky. I approve of this.
