Just tried the demo. Warning, it's very short, and ends kind of abruptly. But then, the full game is supposed to be quite short so that makes sense.

It's interesting, and I'm interested in playing it when it releases, but the aesthetic is an extremely simplified version of brutalism. So don't expect to see much detail, even at a large scale. It's striking, but simple to the point of almost being bland. It's not something I could lose myself in if it weren't for the story, as with the aforementioned Fugue In Void from my other comment.

Quoting: no_information_hereHmm. Style reminds me a bit of Kairo:

Wow, i'd totally forgotten about Kairo. Never did finish it.

Reminds me of an old game called Fugue In Void, but with an actual story.

Fishing is such a weird thing to add, particularly when there are a lot of other things that could use an overhaul. I suppose it's good for immersion and when you just wanna fart around and do something inconsequential for a while in-game. You could cook your catch (new recipes for that), although cooking in NMS is especially pointless, given you don't eat and the process isn't any more fun than throwing stuff in a refiner.

Not that I'm not gonna play through the expedition though.

The deep sea diving suit is particularly amusing though, given there are no deep seas in the game.

Wow, that is REALLY hard on the eyes, at least mine. I'm also seeing quite a lot of enemies that blend into the blackground which adds to the need to squint a lot. I don't imagine it makes fighting them any easier, although I don't think that's the "brutal" difficulty the devs are talking about.

Even that short trailer has me wanting to look at anything else.

I've only gotten through the first two levels, but I think in a lot of ways I like it more than Vampire Survivors. Altogether an amazing game.

Never did finish Cross Code, but I'm down for this too.

I've still got a copy of DoomRL on my machine from back when it had ASCII graphics.

It doesn't work, but I have it. Something to do with an "Access Violation".

I played the demo for this last year and it seemed to be on the right track. Core gameplay was pretty good, and to look at the trailer it seems they maintain that well.
