It has gaelic as a language option that's pretty neat. Chinese room games usually get a lot of shit but honestly I've always been rather fond of them.

    No, me too.

    Everybody's Gone To The Rapture was honestly a gaming experience that will be with me until I die. I find it hard to explain exactly why, but I was so, so completely bought in and played the whole thing in one sitting. It feels like one of those incredibly formative acid trips that people talk about but is hard to articulate why it meant so much to them to an outsider.

    I don't expect anything like that from this, but I'm extremely in for spooky atmosphere on a North Sea oil rig given that I actually have some personal connection to that sort of thing and place in the world.

    Whoa! I thought they quit after Rapture for some reason. Love the two games I've played from them (Dear Esther and Rapture). Good to know they're still making things.

    Will have to give this a look.

    Apparently the stufio is actually owned by Tencent so it's actually Chinese-owned so that's a plus.
