The Missing - Out On A Limb (Jimpressions)
The Missing: J.J. Macfield And The Island Of Memories is Swery65's latest with his outfit White Owls. A puzzle-platformer in the same vein as Limbo or Oddworld, The Missing introduces a clever spin on the genre.
One of the most notorious aspects of said genre is brutal death. The Missing makes that a core puzzle component.

I like the look of this, especially that giant boxcutter lady walking on her hands. Any game that throws weird monsters at me gets instant brownie points.
I've tried giving Swery a couple of chances- I kind of resent that Deadly Premonition has baffled my every attempt to play it on a quasi-modern system, and D4 felt decidedly unfinished (much as I appreciated the weird vibe). I do like Limbo and Inside, though. Maybe when there's a Steam sale or somethin'.
D4 is literally unfinished. Lost the rights. Another nail in the coffin for episodic games.
Cool recommendation.
What a trippy gameplay mechanic. Looks really cool. Thanks for the lack of spoilers too Jim. :) How long is this game? Is it a couple hours like Limbo?
