Wow! A 2 minute trailer that displays 100 % actual gameplay! And it looks really nice too.

The only thing about this game that annoys me (found this out from a review online): the game has NO save slots or auto-saves when quitting, nor does it have checkpoints. Despite the game's supposedly short playtime, many of us gamers are not kids who can stay at their computer for long stretches of time. Apparently, if one has to quit out of this game, one has to start over from the beginning when starting the game up again. TO me, that makes a game more like...work. Who wants to repeat everything just to get back to where you left off the last time? I wish DEVs would ALL program in save slots, or manual saves, or at the least: checkpoints. NO matter how inexpensive this game is (and it IS pretty cheap on Steam), or how brief it supposedly is, lack of saves just turns me off. My opinion. Game looks intriguing to me, too bad!

That is good information to know, robedits. And I agree with what you have said.

I also noticed that when starting up the game. I suspect that that's why they added "This game can be completed in one sitting" in the beginning. My guess is that it has to do with limitations in the framework used for the game (I've just taken part of the creation of a framework for my games, and learnt that creating a save game function is not the easiest of tasks). It also lacks vsync, which means that the graphics will not sync horizontally when you move the point of view, and doesn't have a setting for all relevant resolutions. It doesn't have support for a gamepad either, which games like this almost always have. I will fix this by using the clever little program xPadder though.

I agree, however, that the game looks interesting.

Well, I"m glad the DEVs are so positive that everyone can complete this game "in one sitting." :-)
I agree that within a game's programming/framework (etc), it must not be THAT simple to build-in save slots, or why else would SO many games nowadays only have checkpoints or just ONE save slot when exiting? I always thought it was because so many games are console-ports now (I'm not a console person, at ALL; just my PC, no controller either---KB/M only: REALLY old-school)...but I wouldn't know the answer.
However, there ARE plenty of almost-unlimited save slots...that, or MANY checkpoint slots in quite a few games nowadays (from the major game companies, and even indie DEVs). So really, how difficult IS it for a DEV to just include a COUPLE of save slots in their game(s)?
