Great indie feel, great action RPG, amazing music.

This game feels, to me, a lot like Limbo and Braid did - sort of ethereal. I highly recommend at least checking out the demo. I was worried that the narration would get tiresome after a while, but it adds to the game at every step.

Anyone else played it yet?

I wouldn't mind buying it, but $15 (1200 points) seems a little steep for an XBLA title. I would rather wait to see if it gets released on Steam, then catch it on sale, cuz thats the kind of cheap bastard that I am.

But it looks great visually, and the gameplay looks at least interesting from some of the video I've watched.

i'll pick it up when its on an XBL weekly sale (if it ever happens). In my region MS points are waaay more expensive than in the US, so its a bit stupid for me to pay 70% of the value of a full title right now.

Ouch, yeah... at $15 it's not bad, but it would be hard to swallow at a higher rate. Can't you just buy them from Amazon or something?
