    I just heard about this game on Rebel FM's most recent podcast and it sounds really cool. I checked out their official site and watched the trailer and it seems like a really cool mixture of Braid-esque gameplay with the quirkiness of World of Goo, but with its own unique identity as well.
     
    Anyway, just wondering if anyone else was excited for this game (coming out in February), as well as trying to let some other people know about it, as it seems to be flying well under the radar.

    Its PC only, right? I saw the trailer they let loose like 2 years ago. Its hard to stay excited over a small project that takes so long. I'm kinda like this with Fez, too.

    I vaguely remember the name from a long time ago. It looked quirky but it didn't hold my attention for very long. Maybe I'll go back to it again once I've seen more.

    @ryanwho: It's coming to XBLA as well, which is where I'd probably pick it up.

    I saw so much on this game so damn long ago, that a part of me is kind of done caring. I'm sure I'll check it out at some point...but I had no idea it was coming out soon.

    @pause422: I just watched the GB PAX interview and it sounds like they were so quiet for so long because of an NDA with 2K.

    Watching the Quick Look EX right now.  Looks good, very Braid-y.  I just wish all these indie titles weren't stuck on the Xbox.  I mean, there's a perfectly good market on the PS3 that would be willing to buy your delicious pie game.  I understand why Shadow Complex won't come to the PS3, but when it's an indie title like this, there isn't really an excuse. 
     
    Bottom line, America: bring The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom to PSN.

    Thanks for the kind words people, trust us...we've been wanting to get this puppy out for a loooooooong time. Can't wait to have it finally be available. 
       
    @FireBurger: Yep, NDA was definitely part of our silence.

    That Quick Look makes me very interested in the game.  Like, legitimately super excited.  I don't know if I've been this stoked for a game since before Dragon Age.  I think that I'm going to have to become friends with this jackass I know again in order to get at a 360 to play this game.

    Well it's definitely original, and originality is probably what I praise the most in video games, so I might have to buy this.

    These guys were interviewed in Game Informer. I'm glad GB did a quick look for their game, it looks fun.

    Not overly excited, but I will probably pick it up right when it hits XBLA.

    Just watched the quick look and it does look interesting. I really enjoyed Braid and this seems to be similar to that.

    I was curious about this when I saw it on GB's PAX coverage, and now after watching the QL, it looks like I'd get this.... if I had a 360 :( 
    Hopefully, it'll come to PC or PS3 eventually.
