I got Superhot gifted and played through it. It's good, but I didn't get as hyped as some others. I could relate with one of the reviews: They came up with a good idea, made a showcase... but didn't really turn that into a full-fledged game.

I saw in the reviews that people complain that it does not support mouse control. Additionally, it seems to be limited to walking left and right? Still held me off from buying...

I thought David AMD would wake up Goliath Intel, but it seems they've been hit too hard by the little stone. ;)

It is funded with 43.000 of 39.000$ now, with two days to go.

Quoting: DuncI find it incredible that we're still using digital controls for movement in the 21st Century, and that “gaming keyboards” are even a thing. Before the rise of the FPS, the keyboard was the last resort when your joystick broke.

Quoting: LinasInterestingly enough, I once had a chat with an actual trucker who tried getting into Euro Truck Simulator 2, and it made him feel in a similar way. I guess just because you love your work, it doesn't mean that you want more "work" when you play a game.
I read a report about these simulation games (some are incredibly successful, AFAIR, farming simulator has sold more copies than GTA V in the year the latter came out) and they are often played by people working in the simulated job.

I can't even say why, but the demo didn't appeal to me unfortunately...

Quoting: whizseSigh... I thought I swore off Kickstarter but here we go again. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...
I'm very reluctant with Kickstarter, but they did a long demo running very good on Linux...

Quoting: ArehandoroI want to back it but I shit my pants playing horror games.
Maybe give the demo a try. It is disturbing, but nothing like Amnesia or the like...
