I wonder what happened to the studio behind Thumper.
This game seems like it should be their next title but as the article said it's coming just from the composer...
I really appreciated what THUMPER was trying to do, and I think it was successful at it. I have felt emotionally battered by games before. I have stepped away from a gaming session feeling drained, like I had just run a marathon. But THUMPER is the only game that has ever made me feel physically battered. Assaulted. Strangely aware of my own physicality because the game in front of me is so wildly physically affecting. Playing it is a bit like purposefully standing too close to large speakers. It's like you're experiencing it in two ways. Like you're experiencing it the "normal way" and also getting these shockwaves that you experience with your body.
This new game looks very fluid. Possibly also very physical.
Looks creative as fuck, but not sure that it'll actually be fun. Thumper was also creative as fuck but looking at steam I have a grand total of 38 minutes, so take that as a single datapoint.
