It looks and sounds kinda cool, but I'm curious what the price will be. If it's $4.99 I'd pick it up for sure, but if it's $9.99.....I'm not so sure.....

[stockstar1138]

ill try it.

[Sweetstache]

this just looks so brilliant, I'm really digging on these experimental games that show up on the psn - flow, flower, and to some extent even rub a dub. I can't wait to try out this Linger in Shadows

[Shin-Ra]

I think they'll struggle to sell it for more than $5, personally.

[Morphine]

that is a lot of work for just $5, 10 should be fine

[Idealsupra]

agree

[Elandyll]

At 100% trophees you get a real nice surprise, I'm curious why nobody had mentionned this

I found that to be awesome, although I guess you had to be there in the good ol Amiga demo times to be as psyched by it as I was
Maybe it's just me

[Show spoiler]It's an old school demo, with starfield, balls, etc, with demo scene groups text waving in. It says also that there will be a new demo (I guess) that they are working on, "Into the Pink" if memory serves

If anyone has downloaded "Linger In Shadows" from
the playstation store..what are your thoughts? I found
it simply amazing..Thanks everyone!!

[AikonEnt]

I really liked it. I hope they create more stuff like this. I always loved demo stuff on my Amiga so am glad it's now moving onto PS3 If more are made it'll be interesting to see what technical brilliance people come up with.

[fsavoie]

For the price I can't complain, but I didn't like it. Not so good graphics, incoherent story... not for me

[Avarice]

loved it, never played this tech on amiga (not old enough) but what really I liked about it was that it moved like it had a purpose. I was only disappointed in that fact I could not save that cute dog (I love dogs ). I cannot wait for there next project.

[Groo The Perverted]

can't figure out what to do at all. I managed to screw around and get the Sigil trophy without even knowing what I was doing.

I don't understand this at all.
