I saw this at GDC 2018 (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYUwJ3dlBCsXfGOhxfthWCa1LivUM-G2M) and was quite interested in it. From the perspective a developer, I am impressed with the engine as well as the challenge that lays ahead of team to create a game out of the concept. I am not sure if they fully succeeded here. The controls were a bit unintuitive. There was a real need for a jump -- although this likely would have spoiled other parts of the gameplay, which is why I assume they did not instantiate such a mechanic. A difficult challenge. I will see how well they do. Wishing the best to the team. UPDATE: It turns out the two developers behind this indie studio, Second Order, are responsible for the Trails series (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYUwJ3dlBCsUJfrJCHM0cv00mWbP_aTYD), which I first heard of with Trails HD on Xbox 360.
