Wonderful OT

can't believe im this hyped for a horror game...I can barely finish them but this being a short experience will probably help..also I heard its less about jump scares and more about creepy/unsettling atmosphere. I can dig that.

 

[More_Badass]

Also releasing on Humble, missed that until after I finished the OT design:

I'm horrible handling horror games too but the 2.5D perspective helps a lot.

 

[CJCW]

Pretty hyped. Still much prefer the original title though.

EZA Review went up recently

They give it a

4/5

 

[Corpekata]

Game is 17 percent off at Gamersgate for those looking to save a few bucks on the Steam version.

Wish this was a midnight release on Steam. About to finish off Persona 5 and I think this would be a perfect palate cleanser for it.

Same, but their reasoning makes sense

Initially, the core themes revolved around food, greed, and consumption, hence the working title of Hunger. As the game evolved, however, we started to explore additional themes, such as childhood and the primal fears that are born there. This is when we realised that we needed to come up with a name that encompassed all of that, and Little Nightmares fit like an unpleasant glove.

 

[pixelation]

Awesome OT, i'm so getting this!... just wish i could look at what the pre-order goodies look like instead of just a list of what they are.

 

[comshoplesce]

Nicely made OT, bravo.

 

[Coxy100]

Can't wait to play this - looks great!

 

[N° 2048]

Amazing OT <3

Thank you for doing the OT, Badass, it's pretty good.

I'm looking forward to playing this! I love me some indie games. And I really want to support Tarsier on this. Love this style.

They never stop coming. That's the thing with indies; there's never a lull like with AAA. Tumbleseed, STRAFE, Rime next month

 

[AmethystEnd]

Great OT. I've got the Six Edition coming at launch. Can't wait .

 

[WViking87]

Awesome OT. I've got the Six Edition coming Friday.

 

[Resident Evil King]

Preordered for PS4 - can't wait.

Game unlocks at 10pm tonight in my timezone (Western Australia), so 7 and a half hours from now.
Will definitely give it a go tonight if I'm still up.

 

[Bioshocker]

Same. Can't wait.

 

[Mifec]

Will trust Karak's review on this one and buy when discounted since there is no rent option. Can't wait to read opinions.

 

[Melchiah]

Love the OT. Thumbs up for the effort. Can't wait for tomorrow.

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

Great OT, and GAME dispatched my Six edition today!

 

[-KRS-]

Very nice OT!

 

[overcast]

Is the only physical edition the six edition? Was hoping I could get a non special edition for 20-25.

Not in the US. UK/EU has standard physical copies for around that price.

 

[ced]

Can't wait, playing Friday / Sat nights and should finish it.

 

[Mdk7]

A better pic of the Six Edition, I personally took it yesterday.
Very nice packaging!

 

[Magic Mushroom]

8 from EDGE.

Pre-loaded. Nice OT.

Cool fan art by Igor Krstic:

 

[3JORN]

So excited to play this soon!

REALLY jealous, seems like console versions are getting shipped out before PC. I take it Gamestop?

 

[Weiss]

Wow this completely flew under my radar. What's this about?

That's what the OP is for

 

[Weiss]

That's what the OP is for

So basically it's Limbo but even more Eastern European.

I kinda just don't want to inadvertently ruin the experience for myself by watching too much footage.

It's certainly in the same genre, but there seem to more than enough distinct differences that comparing it to Limbo or Inside isn't exactly accurate. At least according to reviews

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

This game actually makes me think of the classic Oddworld games.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch any footage.

 

[Tankard]

Finally it's here!!!

Been in for this since day 1 as Hunger.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.

I hope you all are having a good day, and know I always loved the community, and in the end it's the community I'm going to stick with, not the site itself. If you want to follow me, my official Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1

 

[Weiss]

Do yourself a favor and don't watch any footage.

Well yeah but then I don't get a feel for the game at all. I hate going in blind. That's why I wanted to gather some impressions since it does seem really interesting.

 

[Sourtreats]

Really excited for my copy to arrive tomorrow! Played 15 minutes of it at London MCM last October and thought it was a great little platformer. Amazon says my copy should arrive tomorrow, fingers crossed.

 

[NeoRaider]

I am ready!

 

[drotahorror]

Still waiting for it to unlock. I was hoping when I woke up it would be available but still 6 hours to go.

 

[Wozman23]

Today will just consist of me staring at the countdown timer on the PS4.

 

[More_Badass]

Some more reviews

A 9 from Playstation Lifestyle
4/5 from Gamesradar

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

An unboxing video of the Six Edition.

Just... one... more... day...

Edit: HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT, it comes with some of that comic posted in the other thread. YYYEEEAAAAHHHHH

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

Huh, according to the Steam store page, the game unlocks in just 3 hours. Early release imminent or mistake?

 

[NeoRaider]

It will be April 28 in 3 hours for me so it's not early release.

 

[Steve McQueen]

Excellent OT, well done.

 

[Melchiah]

Yeah, the PS4 version will unlock in two hours here in Finland. I'm not going to stay up until then though.

 

[mindatlarge]

Got this coming for PS4. The atmosphere had me interested since it first caught my eye, then after reading a couple reviews, I pulled the trigger. Looks like a good October game when fall rolls around.

*Edit: Beautiful OT, btw!
