Fever_Discordia: "Bientôt l’été is a videogame for two players. Two players who pretend to be lovers. They pretend to be lovers separated from each other by lightyears of deep space. They have lonely walks along the shore of a simulated ocean, thinking wistful thoughts of each other. Thoughts from ancient Earth literature by Marguerite Duras. The empty beach, the strong wind, the gentle music and a small colony of electric seagulls are their only companions. Yet their heart is full and their mind confused. Walk along the shore, until they meet the emptiness. When it all becomes too much, they run towards each other. Enabled by intergalactic networks, they touch each other’s holographic bodies in cyberspace. A surreal game of chess becomes the apparatus through which they, man and woman, can talk. The words they have were given to them, as they have always been to lovers everywhere."


OMG I like an arty game now and again but this one sounds so far up its own arse it can feel itself in the back of its own throat!

Leroux: I wish they'd do away with their silly "mystery" tactics. I'd be more likely to buy the bundle if I knew what was in it up front, and the mystery game is unlikely to be that exciting that I'll be willing to pay the higher average later on. As I don't play multiplayer games, don't like Steam exclusives, and have enough abstract flashy color indies for a lifetime already, so far I'm only interested in SotS: The Pit (presented without DLC) - and sooner or later there's bound to be a GOG promo offer with a similar price. The mystery game might have a chance of tipping the scale in favor of a purchase, but with the minimum price increasing, the chances that I'll still consider it an attractive offer when the mystery game is finally revealed are also proportionally decreasing.
