Hey dear GOG-staffer, it would be great if you could edit the OP so everyone who doesn't scroll down can read this info. Besides, it would also be sweet to update the system requirements (as tremere110 said) because that will cause less confusion as well.

Looking at the graphics, all I could think was "where do I know this graphics style from?"

Then it came to me: Walter Moers. This looks like something, Walter Moers has illustrated.

The devs/publishers come from Germany...it makes sense.
I would bet, the designers of this game love Moers.

very cool! will pick this up later then, and thanks! :D

Oh wait, so then I have a question: can we cheat? It's a bummer if it is. :(

You probably can, but it's people's own fault if they want to ruin the intended experience.

I'm definitely picking this up.

I was thinking about the people who didn't want to ruin it (as I've picked it up). :/

Very interesting approach. But I do long and wait for stuff in RL so I don't need a game to make it double. xD
Wishing good time to players who pick this up and good sale numbers to devs who had an original idea. :)

^ This! I love Walter Moers books and the game indeed looks like drawn by him!

The game looks definitely intriguing. Not sure if I have enough time and patience to play it, but from the description, I suppose, if the game is properly designed, it may be – from the point of view of gameplay – just fascinating journey in interesting setting with that 400 days limit as some additional bonus. Will wait for some discount. Wishlisted.

Thank you, GoG and Studio Seufz, for bringing this version out as well as coming to the agreement so soon!

Good to know, and that the requirements were updated as well. But yes, I'll second Dray2k and say that this should be spelled out in the release article too, and also on the game page in the description, for those who learned of the requirement in the initial form. Shouldn't it be a contender for GOTY 2021 though, since nobody'll be able to actually finish it, without cheating, this year to actually be able to say how the whole thing is?

Not a huge fan of high-iq considerations myself because I like being dumb but let me tell you that even after less a minute of playing the game the entire point is that interacting with the game, questioning your actions (as in, progressing/moving about) and contemplating due to its slow pace. The ending itself (revealed during the beginning of the game, waking up king reveals one of the endings) serves as a hook to make players interested. Questioning (and figuring out) whether or not the ending may even matters is part of the fun and the overall experience with the game. Or at least in my point of view, you're playing as something undefinable (refered to as "shade" in game) after all.

If anything the ending will only serve as a state to seperate the two modes, playing the game and not playing the game (it is "always" running even after turning it off) with something else that can be clearly defined. Or in other words, the game began with something, so it must end on a similar note. In this way its not really a open-world game, at least compared to traditional paradigms.

The games theme, after reading the description and playing through the intro is "how to cope with nihilism". So all things considered, I do think that even if you experience the game without touching it almost the entire time you can still give a reasonable assessment even without considering the ending, nor caring about it at all.

And besides, the description of the game says something about multiple playthroughs so perhaps it takes 2400 days to see the entire game so you see all endings or something like that :P.
