Tarhiel: Seems similar to Ex machina.
Are these the same developers?
Lone_Scout: Nope, but the inspiration is obvious. I'd say that Exanima is better but the chances to see it out of early access are much higher with Spark in the Dark.
You must have replied before the correction was made from Ex machina to Examina, I think that hit my funny bone lol.
I don't own Examina, though I always wanted to, but hesitated due to the incredibly long EA period. If the developers communicated something on GOG from time to time, I may have at thought about buying it while still in the EA stage. I still keep it on my wishlist though.
I can thank Soul Saga (one of my most regrettable purchases, which I've yet to redeem and maybe never will /sigh I can't even bring myself to trade it haha, I'd feel bad for the other person. Prodigy Tactics is another, but at least I didn't purchase that one yet) for my cautiousness when it comes to EA games.
To me, this game seems more fleshed out and smoother in how it handles combat than Examina. Of course, I only have gameplay trailers from both to compare such things. People who have tried the games (or the demo in the case of this release), would be able to tell for sure.

Edit: I thing I forgot to add and another reason for hesitating on Examina. I was worried about trying to get used to too much realism when it came to it's physics. Since I'm no longer as nimble with my hands as I used to be in the past. So games like this may be easier to handle for me.
