Have the original NIB on my shelf but I'll wait for this. Would much rather play it on Xbox than Switch with the faster load times. Really glad to see it come over but damn I've gotta stop double dipping on these

Fine by me. I've got plenty of stuff to play before October.

Me too hah! I played and really liked the Switch version (minus the tech limitations of course), but I'll snag this all over again on Steam.

Really enjoyed playing the game on Switch last year, but yeah, you can tell this game was intended for more powerful hardware. The lighting in Kanai Ward and the Mystery Labyrinth's is so crispy now. I do want to replay this someday so I might double dip on PC when it's on deep discount.

Here's the launch trailer. Really hopes my copy arrives asap since I have a few days off and want to dive into this one before starting Metaphor.
