this game is so alluring to me. the graphics and aesthetic are so beautifully developed and complex and "real" in spite of being pixel art. the sound effects are incredible and detailed. the whole atmosphere is so thick you could cut through it with a knife but the knife would get stuck halfways. the sheer mystery of everything that is shown on screen and whatever the plot is about is so compelling.
and the trailer... the trailer is beautiful, the synchronization with the music, that beginning cutscene, and the music itself, they all join and complement each other, but damn especially the music, that is something else.
i actually read BLAME! after finding out about this game (when the trailer came out), having seen it mentioned by people saying it seemed inspired by it (knew the manga, but procrastinated on reading it indefinitely, although i knew some plot details and had watched the shitty movie), and now the prospect of this game makes me even more thrilled, getting to feel that loneliness and vastness and darkness in something that you can play, rather than just look at pictures of.
i firmly believe that, if this game turns out to be as amazing as it seems to be, it might cause another revolution in indie games, set new standards, raise bars. or it might end up as a legendary cult game with a relatively small hardcore fanbase if unlucky.
i cant wait to see the product of having developed a game for (probably) a few years, then funding it with a kickstarter and developing it for 8 more years.
