Wasn't there a demo of this some lifetime ago?

There's a ~30 minutes long prototype released back in 2017. It's quite good :)

Look, the game look interesting and all, but the quotes in the trailer sounds pretentious af. Stuff like:

"Mind bending interactive narrative"

It's just typical adventure game conversation. What so mind bending about it? Unless you consumed LSD before playing.

"With its philosophical musings"

The quote sounds like millenial pretentious hipster bullshit. Getting over it by Bennet Foddy did better in that part and it was supposed to be humourous and annoying. This one more on the annoying part.

"Blink and you'll miss it hallucinogenic effects"

Proceed to show said hallucinogenic effects linger on screen for waaaay to long than a blink of an eye.

Seriously, you made a game, let us decide if it's actually good narratively, philosophically, and visually. This Phil Fish kind of snobbery is so 2014. Let that era of gaming pretentiousness die in the painful past.

The game (or maybe the prototype?) is on the Humble Trove and I'd highly recommend giving that a try before purchasing at this price (or at least make sure to try it within 30 days). It got creepy rather quickly and I didn't play long.

Are you really arguing what is said in a "trailer" video? :P

Hehehe that's the point of trailer video on marketing side to sell product to us. Many gamers are mature enough to see thru the rosey words they arrange to make it sound like it's some kind of mind blowing masterpiece but in reality it might be not the case. Even trailer from game like Forgotten Fields can deliver a good premise with its trailer without trying to make it like it wil be the next Portal 2.

There is and it's still available on Humble Trove (just checked).

Also, if the final product is similar to the Trove demo, the game is surely on my radar.
