Am I the only one eagerly waiting for the international release of Tension?

I've never heard of this but it looks intriguing. I can't tell much about what type of game it is from these vids but it seems kind of like what you'd get if Team Ico recruited Beksinski, with a healthy dose of Okami influence. I love the nightmare surrealist atmos.

So what's the dealio with this game?

Should be sort of an abstract evocative adventure game based on shapes and colors. The previous work of Ice-Pick Lodge, Pathologic, is awesome in terms of mood and atmosphere.

Game looks way too... weird for me.

I remember someone posting about this a while ago. Completely forgot about it. This better not be censored for the US.

On their forum there's murmurs about digital distribution... so maybe *gasp* Steam release? We can but hope. I'd buy it for certain, tbh, I'm sold on these snippets.

 

[Kase]

never herd of it before

i think it looks like complete garbage to be honest

Pretty much...

Please don't compare this crap with the work of one of my favorite artists.

Have you guys got inside information from playing the Russian version or something? I honestly don't see what you find that's so bad about these vids. More power to these devs for creating something innovative, imo. You don't like the cheesy nudity, what...? I have no idea how this will play but I think the art direction looks great.

And he's one of my favourite artists too, I'll compare him with whatever I like.

this game has pron right?

Amen to that. You should really play Pathology. Despite the outdated graphics, the devs did put in the game a disturbing sense of disease and a really deep characterization of npcs, in a surreal frame that Tension is clearly enhancing. Good or bad I don't know. It's original, for sure.

i wont lie, i watched 3/4 of the first vid and made my assumption...

had you mentioned there was a naked chick in the second I might have held my tongue

 

[i am HOLLYWOOD]

eh....

we'll see.

execution seems a bit clumsy to me. but i suppose those sorts of judgements cant be made from seeing a video.
