I cannot reveal the true nature of the system, rest assured, it's pretty great.

The main campaign is really short, it took me about 2 hours to beat I think. But now I'm going to sink my teeth in the challenges. Also if you explore the other options in the menu you can find some interesting stuff, ggroups.exe is a scrolling message board that goes on for about 20min before repeating, it can be quite funny and it gives some hints on the larger story.

Also, strange question, but what is the game's price in dollars? In Steam it's US$25, but the game's page here on GOG it's showing US$11,32 for me, it's weird.

Price is a matter of geography on GOG. Detailed full USD prices are found here.

Cool, I didn't know they ever had regional prices here in Brazil.

It was a pleasant surprise when I saw it for sale on OOG.

Will check it out later. I got a backlog that needs me.

I am glad this game is on gog.

This could be truly one of the best indie games of this year.

From what i can see, it's a first-person rogue-like. Every move matters, it's all about your decisions, by they rash or calculated.

I'd suggest you try a true rogue-like as well, you might be surprised you'd enjoy it after trying SuperHot.

For the storyline campaign... apparently there's plenty of challenges and other extras that will take you a lot longer.

At least it's not a $60 game with no re-playability... :P

Just saw a review here: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/02/25/superhot-review/

Anyway, wasn't the time-move-when-you-move concept used in BRAID? (and earlier by any turn-based game?)

Game sounds pretty great!

Heh, :scoffs at shooters:

Already played Max Payne 3.

Yeah, those unskippable cutscenes were great. Especially when replaying the game. :P
First time through was great though, really liked the airport scene.

Yes. One of many time related mechanics Braid had.

Interesting point on relation to turn based systems, but you'd need to consider specifically WE GO systems, because normal I GO U GO turns are much closer to traditional Max Payne bullet time than to SUPERHOT.

I didn't really see it myself. I mean it looks like a prototype will placeholder graphics, and if you say its only a couple of hours, £12 seems a bit much?

Don't think for a second that went over my head. Sneaky little devils...
