Swords and Sworcery

Someone just informed me about SWORDS AND SWORCERY

I only took a small look, but everything is so amazing, from the music to the visuals, and the gameplay mechanics.
They describe the game as 'The archetypical videogame adventure", so it has to be good, right?

S:S&S EP is a 21st century interpretation of the archetypical old school videogame adventure, designed exclusively for Apple's iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch.

It's a mix of laid-back exploration, careful investigation & mysterious musical problem-solving occasionally punctuated by hard-hitting combat encounters. S:S&S EP is an unusual genre-bending effort with an emphasis on sound, music & audiovisual style that has been positioned as 'a brave experiment in Input Output Cinema'.

S:S&S EP has been recently described as "... an unlikely mix of Zelda and art house cinema. The game is equal parts Robert E. Howard, Shigeru Miyamoto, Tim Schaefer, with some David Lynch thrown in for good measure — but there is more to S&S than these inspirations." (link)

Here are some small clips (literally small):

I'm really psyched now

 

[psiclone]

can't view the videos. just says to download a plugin but the plugin doesn't exist..

 

[Toams]

uhh, i can view them fine, it's the same videos as on their website, so you might want to check if you can see them there?
it's vimeo embedded

 

[psiclone]

weird yeah they work on the site but not here. you using firefox?

 

[Toams]

chrome, maybe the embed bbcode doesn't work for you?

 

[psiclone]

well, not to derail this too far, but let's see what other FF users have to say first..

game actually looks cool, though. that bear guy reminds me of the yeti from that ski game on windows 3.1

i just noticed i mistyped and read the title, it's swords and sworcery, not sorcery.
amazing

 

[moxie]

strange, i can't view it here either (but i can on their site)

this looks really neat, i love the visuals

 

[Toams]

I love what the videos show of the gameplay, although i can't discern between actual gameplay and cutscenes, i hope they blend in well. I also love all the locations I see, damn. iPad version is out in a couple of days, so I'll get it then.

also the music
