It was supposed to release in May, but pushed back to August due to technical issues.

Here's a trailer and 8 minute gameplay video:






From what I've gathered so far, it's basically The Outer Worlds lite. The dev said it'll take around 14-15 hours to finish the game (main + side quests), and it'll be priced at $14.99.

The shooting looks better than some AAA games.
Not a fan of the static enemies though. Maybe that changes with the difficulty

Isn't the Outer Worlds also supposed to be not really AAA size? I assume it's also 10-15 hours, well at least for the campaign.

Obviously, I have no idea what the final product will be, but from those videos this kinda looks like a game Jim Sterling would make a steam cleaner video about

Yeah, Outer Worlds is AA. But still, this is indie and not remotely comparable in terms of manpower and budget.

Outer Worlds is also much bigger and may last up to 40 hours according to Obsidian.

The Outer Worlds is AA and this is... a.

Looks mighty impressive for one dev, though.

If it's meant to be basically what Outer Wilds is, except the primary moment to moment gameplay is shooting.... personally not interested. We'll see when it comes out how much other unique concepts it brings to the table.

The Outer Worlds is supposed to be roughly the same length as KotOR II, according to Obsidian.

The shooting needs some work. It looks like it holds no weight, but the game past that looks amazing for a one man show.

Wow, I've completely forgotten about this game. Just look at the original release date, it's almost been a year already.

Good thing that they delayed it.

Completely slipped my mind. Still looking great, love the Destiny vibes that the skyboxes are giving me.

This looks...ridiculously amazing for a game made by a single person. Just what the heck. Feel like I have to give this a try at $14.99 out of curiosity if nothing else.

Nice, been following this since Spring.

Looks pretty ambitious, and you can never have too many FPS/RPGs.

Already had this wishlisted; glad to see it's not dead.
