iso, TB, postapoc: these three make a good game, according to some. Well, it looks good.

Wasn't the demo extremely bad and buggy?

there was a demo? about bugginess, in the beginning this game looked a lot unproffesional to me, almost fan-stuff style, so maybe that's the reason for bugs. or something. I'm definitely interested in this game, be it merely for the fact that characters look so much better than all the dumb-looking squint-eyed jerks from The Fall.
Of course also for the RPG genre and PA/cyberpunk setting.

Hm, wasn't that the alpha dealio that was leaked by a magazine due to a misunderstanding?

Dreamcatcher, I've only seen them publish Painkiller, but that's it.

Which was fun, but totally not the same genre.
