If you're wrong...

You begin the game with a mountain in the distance, and you solve puzzles on your way to that point, some times you'll see a second character being played by someone else, and you can sing to them.The footage looks amazingly pretty. What's the point of the game though? It sorta looks like a puzzle/platformer? I haven't been keeping up with the info.

I came here just to say this. Now that I know it's gold, waiting for it is going to be much harder. :/OMG RELEASE THIS NOW
Walk through the desert with a kickass scarf and surf the sand.
Ah it's finally done. Still not sure if I'll grab it right away, the demo left me really cold as it's basically the world's most gorgeous barking simulator. No gameplay at all. But we'll see, maybe I'll get it just to have my mind fucked by the beauty.
There is a demo?!!
Very excited about this game. I have been on a media blackout for the most part (saw the first batch of screens and a trailer though). I loved Flower and this looks even better. Also looking forward to the soundtrack.
Please release this soon

Haven't been keeping up at all since I wasn't the biggest fan of their previous works, but...
That sounds promising. What exactly is your move set in the game? Is there a video that really shows how the meat of the game play is?
I don't know if you have read this interview, but as it is very new...

It wasn't in the beta.If the camera is still only controlled by sixaxis tilting, I'll be skipping this.
Control wise, your tool set is very limited. You can 'sing', which is more like shouting, or barking really, this is a way of communicating with either other players, or the various AIs in the game. It can also 'touch' various fabrics in the environment. The fabrics can be activated using either the singing, or by running along them, to make them saturate. Once done, a few things can happen, they can split off and connect to your character, or they can cause something in the environment to change in order to solve a puzzle. Collecting the pieces that connect on to you plays into the other core mechanic, jumping. The amont of jumps you can do is tied to the length of material you have.
It's hard to explain what is so good about the game really. Flower tried to tell a meaningful story without the use of language, or people, and while I think it was successful, the story it told was very limited. Journey looks to be attempting a much more complex story. The beta had a number of optional 'cutscenes' that appeared to tell the story of a lost civilization, destroyed by the sands which make up the desert you're in.
You can slide around and jump, that's it.
There was a beta up on PSN last year, it was majestic, it was awesome.
Search YouTube, there's videos of gameplay there.
It wasn't in the beta.

Yeah, you could tilt the controller or just use the right analog stick. There were no problems at all with the camera controls.
3 years is a long time when you finally finished something and look back, "What have I done in the past 3 years?" Hope it's worth it.
@stewartgilray Sony's working on it. Quite a few big releases are coming up.
@scxzor Once Sony figure out the right time, they will announce it. I assume pretty soon.
SOLD! The barking simulators I usually play are so ugly....it's basically the world's most gorgeous barking simulator.
Report: PS3-Exclusive Journey Coming Out in March
Thatgamecompany, the studio behind Flow and Flower, is one of the most revered indie developers in the entire gaming industry. And PlayStation 3 gamers know their unique forays into the gaming space all too well.
As the third title in their three game development deal with Sony, Journey, has been much-anticipated. We last saw the game back in December, and were told the game is coming out in the second quarter of 2012. But now, we have some new information that indicates the game is coming out sooner than that.
According to Issue #227 of Game Informer Magazine, Journey will be out before the second quarter. A preview of the game on page 18 of the issue in question ends with the following sentence: "No matter how you describe [Journey], it's a title that should absolutely be on your radar as we near its release in March."
We've reached out to Sony for official comment and/or confirmation, and will update when we hear back.
That soon? Welp. Time for me to get a triple.
The community manager over at TGC's site has been dropping hints and I think one of the forum-goers has cracked the release date (3/6/12 for PS+ members and 3/13/12 for everyone):

Get hype!!
PS+ members getting it early will cause lots of bitching, but I hope it's true.
Just 3 more weeks, holy shit.
PS+ justified yet again if true.
Mine's coming in the mail today from Amazon. When I heard Journey went gold, I knew I had to act fast
