Just beat it tonight. My save was clocked in at a little over 25 hours, which is probably about accurate since I left the game running a few times for like 20 minutes to a half hour, but it obviously doesn't account for all the times I died and did stuff over again, nor the last bit of the game after the last save, which is actually pretty extensive.
What a game. What a fucking game. Sy's little synopsis there sums it up pretty nicely, but obviously there's much more to be said. And I'll say it with a 5 page review tomorrow. Would post it tonight but I'm just too tired to polish it up before posting.
So yeah, in about 25 hours or so I got all 4 pets, all but 6 or 7 treasures (out of 32), and all three of Naija's lost memories (which unlock an extended ending). That's a really good chunk of game for the price, and everything that's there is awesome. Some great boss fights, beautiful visuals with only a few weak spots, fantastic music, pretty great story (if a little convoluted at points... you really can't go wrong here unless there's something hideously wrong with you.
Anyway, yes, in-depth review to follow. Just wish I had a real place to post it so somebody other than you guys could read it.
EDIT - The review is up!
It just isn't at Overwritten.net. Check my site out for several links on the main page and the menu. I wanted to do this up right, and posting it on a forum somewhere seemed a waste, so I did what I had to.
Anyway, I sincerely love this game and wanted to help contribute to its media presence, not to mention give it the detailed review I knew it deserved but probably wouldn't get from more than a couple publications, if any. So this is a long, detailed, hopefully professional and unbiased review of the game for anyone that's interested (screens included).
I want the Bit Blot guys to get more exposure and make more sales. In a world where this game is going to get pirated like mad, I want to let everyone that I can know about who made it and why they should buy a copy. I'll likely end up as militantly adamant and annoying about it as I was with
Psychonauts.
So go buy it. Or I'll cut you.
