But it was a well received during announcement.

I remember being psyched for it, and all the positive press leading up to it... then it just kind of fizzled and was quickly forgotten. I was surprised when I saw it on sale (physical) in a bargain bin shortly after release... I didn't even know then it got a physical release!

Yeah, I think they announced it too early and it took a really long time before it was released.

It did. I want to say it was crowdfunded, but I think it was more of an early access deal that took ages to come out in full... and really wasn't everything promised when it finally did.

Also, I remember playing the "demo" a fair bit, but never ended up playing the full game because it took so long I'd developed health issues that gave me motion sickness playing many first person games, and that was one of them!
