We need more stuff like this, as a nation, to get us enthusiastic about space again. I mean, fucking government slashes more NASA funding, retires the Space Shuttle fleet - and yeah, perhaps they were spending too much money doing things. But we should fucking have a colony on the moon by now, and solar farms! Yet, if anything, our country has gotten dumber. Tea party idiots and creationists are at least getting louder. Makes it seem like there are more of them. We need things to remind us of how awesome technology and space is. We can't depend entirely on SpaceX and their awesome Dragon capsule. Okay, done with my rant now :)

Super, super happy to see this. I heard of it, then forgot about it - so I'm relieved to see their Kickstarter was successful!

Seems to have the spirit of an old-school, 90's, "Multimedia CD-Rom" adventure game. But y'know...with actual gameplay instead of just pointing and clicking around lovely static screens, like in Myst or Journeyman Project. Seems really intriguing.

What would moon colonies accomplish? While I do support Nasa funding - people don't realize that sending people into space costs a ton of money and accomplishes absolutely nothing, scientifically. We need to send more probes to other planets and moons to learn even more about them.

That's why we need to soon get rid of money, so it won't cost anything to use our intelligence for the future! (Sarcasm)

Reading the title reminds me of the Battlezone computer game from the mid-90s. Good times. One of my favorite computer games of all times. Even if this isn't an action/first-person/RTS, I may just give it a go to revisit good memories.

Sweet! The running astronaut even looks a little like the ones from Battlezone. Mod me some hovertanks made of biometal and I'm in heaven.

Could be cool.

The story premise has me interested. I just hope they can pull it off.

Game needs 100% more talking apes.

This seems pretty strange. Count me in!

Space-platforming?

it's a game about an astronaut marathon runner. get hype!

Interest acquired.

Looks right up my alley.

I'm a little sad the title isn't actually "An Abandoned Soviet Lab 20 Light Years From Earth."

I thought I saw a trailer for this years ago. Can anyone even kind of back me up on that?

"An adventure game in the same vein as Ico or The Dig"

What does that even mean? That's two completely unrelated and uncomparable games.

huh? I totally missed this during E3 week ... just stumbled across this on the video page.

Concept sounds cool!

It's unfinished.
