I just heard about this game:

Has anyone here played it? The trailer is kind of Myst-like.

I saw that the other day on Steam. Very little detail about it and yet its very intriguing.

I saw this on Steam also, and I could've sworn I saw a friend play it at one point.

If I remember right, it's a "game" made with the half life 2 engine, essentially. However, the reason I call it a "game" is because it wasn't necessarily something he played at all, it was just him walking through an environment with a monologue going on in the background.

Hence, if it's the game I'm thinking of, I don't recommend it unless you're really into weird avant-garde stuff...

Selinate: Yep, that's the one.


Read a little bit about it and thought "oh what the hell, it's just €8"... Not that I regret it, but I can't recommend it to anyone. Feels like you walk around for ages, yet you reach the end in no time. If you're a poet then maybe the monologue works for you, and maybe the "game" has some deeper meaning, but it was utterly lost on me.

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
