  Fantastic experience wouldn't call it a game as such its more an interactive novel played out in a first person view, well worth £1.74

  Is this any good then? I have to admit that it definitely looks like something I would be into, as you can probably tell from my avatar I'm really into 'different' sorts of games.

  It's a great experience, not on the same level of Journey but it's close.

  You see, now Journey was awesome, I'm just mentally debating whether to go for this deal though or wait for this game to hit a humble bundle (which is probably will at some point).

  Indie, unconventional, cheap, and no guns. I've a strong feeling that I'm going to regret buying this one, but all the same *buys*

  I normally get bored fairly easily, but this held my attention!
  Definitely worth it at this price.
  
  For those who've not played it; you explore an island in first person view.
  No guns, enemies, puzzles or anything, just walking around soaking up the story and atmosphere.

  Don't buy into the hype it's crap. But for £1 odd it's not bad. I just need to figure out where to go as the game is full of invisible walls and I can't get off the bloody shore and with no mini map as such it can be frsurating to ay the least.

  Not really, you have to do things in Myst which made it more of a game. With this you just walk around an island in a linear direction and the story unfolds as you do. There are no options to do anything though. It's like walking around Alcatraz with the audio headphones on. I spent the first five minutes trying to find my first puzzle until I realised it wasn't like Myst.

  It's a typical 'innovative' indie game. Don't bother developing game mechanics and tack on some crappy abstract story.
  
  That said probably worth a £1

  Voted hot.
  
  At £6.99 it was probably a bit overpriced (for what you get)
  
  I can't begrudge it too much though, as the cave sequence alone was fantastic, even in the ageing Source engine.
