Can it be a sci-fi action RPG?
I already have a multi-million dollar idea and it's easy to make. Two words: reverse pong
Obviously not everyone who purchases the game will rate it.

Depends. Are you Miyazaki? Are you in any way affiliated with From Software?
Dudebro: My Shit is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time The prequel

Two balls and a stick...? This could be huge!
Are you thinking of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture?
This came off a bit snarky, not sure if you meant it that way.
Anyway, games quickly amass a thousand or so likes on the network. This one didn't even hit a hundred in its first day. I was one of them!

I can be and I will be. We will become legends
You're thinking about Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. I confuse the two also.
Only if you're making a Deathrow'esque futuristic bloodsport game.
Came out last week.
Yeah you definitely read it the wrong way.
I agree. I sometimes look at the likes and ratings too to guess if a game did well. It's not entirely accurate of course.

Man, I went back and forth about getting this on PC a few times. Will definitely pick this up real soon now.
I really love small but polished games with high production values. They fit my schedule better than monster games with 100 hours of necessary playtime. I don't mind the content/price ratio at all. Hope that more devs make games like this.

Yeah I loved it on PC when I played it a few months ago. It's beautiful with nice mechanics and a great story.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is out in a couple weeks so I hope this success carries to that game as well. I'm always down with a gorgeous, atmospheric mystery.

Honestly shocked by this. Got no buzz at all when it was released on PS4. Will definitely pick this one up at some point down the road and yeah I got this confused with Rapture for a minute.

As a I get older I'm prefer compact (sub 15-20 hour) experiences more and more. I'm simply too busy to pour 80-100 hours into a single game anymore.
Port. Had to go from UE3 to UE4.
Throw in Edith Finch and you've got a trilogy of confusion.

I'm excited for both of those games as well. So many amazing looking mystery/exploration games coming out.
I love these sorts of titles.
Vanishing of Ethan Carter
What Remains of Edith Finch
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Really striking and sound almost literary. The Last of Us evokes a similar feeling as well.

Congratulations to them. Not sure how much marketing they did but making back their budget within a week is pretty impressive. I wonder what their budget was.
Great titles. Agreed. I want to go read the books they're based on.

I remember buying this game on steam then getting bored within 30 minutes (lots of walking...) only to read to the synopsis and then hate myself for spoiling it. I played through it just for the ending and enjoyed it. I've been warming up to games like this and Life is Strange where you kind of just watch the story unfold.
