Preview of the game here

This was actually announced a month ago, but kind of got lost in the rush. This preview seems to reveal a game that has real potential. What piqued my interest is the visual design of the thing, with a Steampunk world being rendered by Viktor Antonov, the visual design lead for Half-Life 2. It looks like it could be a really interesting playground to mess around in, even if the aesthetic might veer a little close to BioShock Infinite.

 

The actual mechanics of the game sound a bit like a bizarre mix of Thief and BioShock, with the game empathising stealth and pragmatism over sheer brute strength. Some of the examples of gameplay sound really fun;

For example, strapping a mine to a rat, possessing the rat and walking it into a crowd of enemies, then possessing something else and getting out of there before the mine explodes.

Another one they rather like is pausing time just after an enemy has fired his gun, possessing him and walking him in front of his own bullet, then getting out of there and letting him suicide himself.

Oh, this one is so on the list.

 

From the Makers of Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (ignoring Bio Shock 2) you bet your ass I'm looking forward to this.
