I’ve been a fan of thatgamecompany since playing the free Flash version of Flow online and reading Jenova Chen’s thesis on how to implement the flow state into gaming.

It’s pretty awesome and he’s a very unique individual. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

I remember it looked really good for a PS3 game, I think the physics of the sand was a tech demo for the PS3’s dedicated physics chip or something like that.

I got this on Steam lately, don’t know anything about it, but I remember it was kind of a big deal.

Very worth the play - it’s a beautiful experience.

Yeah it’s a special game, and a masterclass in “show, don’t tell” exposition.
