Two links i've seen today that are worth spreading around:

Quote:That this was made by a five-man team who built their own engine is bewildering. At around ten hours long, that it’s £13 (and discounted currently to pre-order for tomorrow’s release on Steam, GamersGate, and presumably elsewhere) is amazing value. If you pre-ordered it, you can start pre-loading now via Frictional’s site. I cannot recommend it enough. So long as you don’t mind being utterly bloody terrified.

Quote:The game’s been rather a financial struggle for the small independent developer, whose previous game – the three-part Penumbra series – was something of an overlooked gem. “We have had to cut salaries almost in half – and they were low to start with,” said Grip. And the troubles aren’t over just because the game’s finished: “Our future as a company depends on this game not flopping, so plenty of butterflies in the stomach.”
