So after pre-ordering the game on Steam I chose to ask Supergiant the burning question on everyone's mind:

It may not be an actual whip but I'm pretty stoked about it anyway.

Year of the whip.

"At Supergiant Games we appreciate your interest in whips."

Hilarious.

That's Greg Kasavin for you.

Hey isn't that Giant Bomb's Greg Kasavin(TM) of Giant Bomb's 12 Hour Skyrim Marathon(TM) and of GameSpot's Greg Kasavin Responds to Fable Criticism(TM) fame?

I believe so. That or someone else at Supergiant has his specific turn of phrase.

Thank you, I often wonder if there is a whip present in a game, something I base my purchasing decision around and I can now say that I will purchase Transistor without hesitation.

Beat the game and no whips, unless the whip in question is the main characters motorcycle, which is pretty rad.

@corruptedevil: maybe it's buried in the NG+ mode.

NEVER DOUBT THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE WHIP GREG KASAVIN CORRUPTEDEVIL

It's called Get(). It's a function allows you to hit a guy and pull them toward you.

@vashyron: It doesn't make the whip sound, and can't be used to kill vampires, thus not a whip.

@corruptedevil: Touche

Every time I hear whip.
