No pre-orders so close to the date, wonder if we're due a delay.

Have a look at the opening comment, He answers a question thats been asked a lot of times. It looks like prepurchase will be about a week before release.

I received a newsletter from Campo Santo a week or so ago that was still confidently displaying the 9th Feb 2016 release date, think we're still good to go.

That looks really good. Quite like games like this when they're done well.

Can you name any other games like this?

Pre-order is available.

£14.99 on steam with a 10% pre-order discount making it £13.49. It'd be rude not to get it at that price.

Bargain, I'll get the OP updated in a tick.

Thanks for that.

6 hours gameplay for £14 sorry but no thanks this is a £6.99 or less title to me. It looked real interesting last year but Rise Of The Tomb Raider does the same thing with way more interaction & better gfx.

I posted this here in Sept 2014 the game looked different to the final build!

What looks different?

Also this shows the prices for the different regions, expect to pick it up on a keysite for around 6-7 quid on release

Even for a game that has such stunning visuals and seems a rather intriguing premise? I've been looking forward to this game for a while now, I think it looks amazing and covers something that I'd be quite interested in exploring. It'll be very interesting to see how the game turns out.

gailjon · 3 Feb 2016 at 13:32

I agree that it looks very interesting. I used to play a lot of 'adventure' games o the pc with my wife but recently everything seems to be fps games and they are definitely not couple friendly. (CIV V is a great game for us though).

randal · 3 Feb 2016 at 13:34

I'm particularly interested in the replay value of this game, as there are many ways the story can pan out apparently.

£2.33 an hour, even if it's an average game if it's less than a pint and hour it's good value in my book

Marky · 3 Feb 2016 at 15:33

Very interested in this

Looking forward to release

randal · 3 Feb 2016 at 15:35

I think the pace of this will be right for Steam Controller/Link, looking forward to some couch and wine action with this one.

Why does the price of the game have to correspond directly to the amount of time you'll spend playing it? Personally I imagine I'll get far more than 6 hours out of it but I'm not bothered either way.

The Tomb Raider comparison is bizarre too, this is clearly a game driven by its narrative.

Shamikebab · 3 Feb 2016 at 19:28

I always think the price to gameplay comparison is just crazy stupid. Should Football Manager be several hundred pounds because it gives that much gameplay?

the_wu · 3 Feb 2016 at 20:18

I've been keeping my eye on this one, the video footage looked really good.

Pre ordered as well.

MrZippo · 3 Feb 2016 at 22:30

This is really looking good from the preview video.
I have pre-ordered, only problem is that I am currently playing rise of the tombraider and got Xcom2 launching this week. Too many good games coming out all at once!

Mensy · 7 Feb 2016 at 11:05

Im interested in this but im gonna wait until it hits a sale or something as im not sure if im gonna like it

mdixson · 8 Feb 2016 at 18:26

The reviews out today seem to backup the promises. A solid 8/10 game by the looks of it and genuinely funny. Can't wait!

antijoke · 8 Feb 2016 at 18:46

So there's multiple story paths?
