so, I willa dmit it: I don't even know the game. why is this so "buzzed"? is it a very good game? and there is anything special about Nintendo "trying" to get the game? would it be a console exclusive?
sorry for my ignorance
It's many people's personal Game of The Year last year (it's mine that's for sure) and was on numerous GOTY lists in publications as well. It's a short (like 6 to 10 hours max? depending on if you go for the True Ending or even other endings or not), charming and fun indie rpg that plays with rpg conventions in ways that haven't really been seen in gaming. For some it does all the right things to be a unique and refreshing breath of air in gaming in general.
It also sold like the 12th most copies of any game last year on Steam (despite releasing so late into the year) but due to it's price isn't on the list for most money made. It still made the dev quite a bit of moolah however.
It's a game also, due to a few things it does, that would be difficult to port. But it'd be interesting to see how it could be done. So far it's just a PC game made in Game Maker. Very inexpensive and you can easily get it on Steam or Humblebundle for like 10 dollars.
If you want to see more of what it's all about and ways in which it is unique, I would suggest watching Tietuesday's
video's of him playing the demo. He shows off all of the depth that even just the demo contains over the course of a few videos. Plus toby, the dev, even stops by briefly. Tie does suggest playing the demo first before watching his video on the demo so, try it if you want.
