A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

There's no way it's really been 10 years, right? This game just came out. ;_;
See, you know what I'm talking about!
Oh goodness that takes me back, I remember enjoying that one a long time ago. Super unique mechanics and puzzles but you're right, on the shorter side.
Will absolutely second your recommendation.
I think I played it on Vita. Remember loving it when I played it. As you said, the game wasn't too difficult, nor too easy.
I just looked it up at psnprofiles to see if I Platinumed it, and turns out I only cleared 2 out of 10 chapters. (Also there is no Platinum trophy) Guess it's time to give it another go.
Edit: Just looked up the trophy details. They are tied to hidden collectables not chapters, so I did finish the game 😀
Yeah I managed to finish the whole game with 0 trophies.
I remember being obsessed with this one when it first came out! It might be time for a replay on my Steam Deck!
That was my first game played on steam !
My first was Half Life 2! I remember thinking it was ridiculous having to install some dumb external launcher...
I remember getting this game in a bundle with Thomas was Alone. I loved both of them so much.
Sounds interesting, but apparently it's unplayable on modern systems.
Just checked the steam discussions and it seems a bug was introduced somewhere in between that makes the game crash when a transmission message is opened in game due to a bug with the interaction between game and steam.
A workaround is to just play through the game with Steam shut down completely, which works fine. The downside is that after collecting any Message from Home, that save file will be unplayable if you run the game from Steam - the game will always hang at startup. But, it will update your achievements first!
After some more review scrolling I came across 'compatibility beta enabled', which also seems to fix some issues. Still, I don't think I'm spending €14 on this.
It used to be my favorite game before I played Outer Wilds. That was a while back, aah the nostalgia.. The Swapper's graphics are also quite unique and aged pretty well I think.
Ratchet and clank had a similar mechanic. Think it was a Crack in Time or something like that.
it was super into this game as a teenager and it still comes back to it after getting a philosophy degree. Really, really bizarre experience.
I remember playing it on a PS4 - not sure if it was part of the PS+ or one I bought on a sale. My son was a teenager at the time, and he liked mostly sports games, and that's what the PS4 was for - FIFA and NBA2K. But from time to time I would sample some games to my liking, this one was one of those I actually completed.
Loved the aesthetics and the mechanics of the game play, the story ending was probably its weakest point, but the game itself was great.
Thanks for sharing, might need to boot that old PS4 again.
