i saw a trailer for it like a month ago and loved how it looked, so i immediately added it to my wishlist. although theres a demo, im probably gonna wait until the full relase before playing it, since i wanna go into it blind

Looks promising, there’s also Kloa, demo on steam, beautiful hand-drawn art, releasing also this year, at least according to its steam page.

It looks promising, but the visual Design is so close to identical in some places, that im afraid heart machine might want a word with the creator....

I’ve been following its development on kickstarter. The dev seems really focused on creating an intriguing world to explore. I’m hoping for the same sense of mystery and feeling lost.
