Actual details on Sadness?

The game that is ... then isn't ... then is again has been quite secretive for quite some time, which of course provoked our skepticism in the first place. On top of some recent artwork released by developer NIBRIS, we now have some interesting gameplay details.

• The game will total around twenty hours in length.

• There will be two playable characters: a thirty-year old woman of Polish-Hungarian descent, and her son.

• There are eighteen species of monsters; which ones you see will be determined by how you play the game.

• The game will feature no (i.e. real-time) loading.

• Voice acting will be a prominent feature.

• The graphics will contain copious amounts of fog, to match up with that artwork.

• Last night's Heroes episode was totally awesome.

Okay, so that last bulletpoint is just us geeking out. Whatever, we do that. Here's to Sadness (clinks wine glass)!
