You could always try Polish audio with English subtitles. I always try to play in the original language when possible.

Is this game going to be episodic, or are we getting the full package here?
Full package I believe.

Dem textures

Sadly some other textures don't hold up as well to close scrutiny, rocks in particular

Yeah it's a bit hit and miss
Yeah, I assumed it was Unreal Engine's usual stuff at first but it seems like it's a bit more often than it should be.

Only on zone loading. I can tell if I run through the level and it happens at very specific times.
No normal type stuttering though.

Yep, especially if I sprint everywhere. I think it's just Unreal being Unreal
Yeah, and moving the camera isn't so smooth.
Oh my god this is good.
I have a question though about an hour in, possible bug:

When I got to the elevator next to the dam, I was looking down and fell super far but didn't die. I landed in the elevator carriage, and was able to press a button and ride it back up. Am I supposed to be able to do that? It seems very strange

While I am sure you can blaze through this game, I am going extremely slow and loving every minute. My PC is 2500K / 560ti and all the default settings are on High, and it looks and runs perfectly. I'm sure if I cranked some filters it would slow down, but I'm not gonna bother.
If people are gonna be posting spoiler gifs though, I'm done with this thread. Even that above gif would've ruined the opening minutes which I loved.

Also, there are times when you are missing an object, for instance, right at the beginning, the crank. If you let Paul use his powers you can turn your head until he obtains a vision of the crank in a faraway location to help you find it....however if you want to make it harder on yourself just back away and know there's a crank out there somewhere. I'm going to be doing this until I've at least explored areas once through.

Played about an hour and a half of it, the game is pretty good. Voice acting kills it at times though and ruins some sections that could be great.
Story is really intriguing though, getting H.P. Lovecraft vibes from it and it's doing a decent job pulling me along trying to find out what's going on.
Gameplay wise it's barebones but some of the puzzles are fun to do and they're not constant either so you don't get tired of them super fast.
Overall I'm enjoying it

I have a 780Ti and i7-4770k so I'm sort of brute forcing through a lot of stuff I'd say but I still get mad stuttering if I try to sprint through the game. If I walk everywhere it's less noticeable though. Same sort of Unreal loading stutter other games have had in the past.
Otherwise the game is a solid constant 60fps and that's everything on the highest and 8xMSAA. Vsync on too so I don't know how much over 60 I'd be getting without it

Put an hour in so far and I'm loving it. Sorry for shitting up the thread with my impatience earlier.
Kudos to The Astronauts for staying at work past midnight in Poland to make the sure the game made its release date in the U.S.
When I checked 30 mins ago, it had fallen to 13 on Top Sellers, but it's back up to 10.

They really nailed the indoor lighting. Shit looks like a picture (Sorry for spamming pics, I'll stop if people want)

WOW. 90 minutes in I have just seen one of the most insane things, I would've never expected from this game, which I imagine is easy to miss. I have made NO progress. I'll just say "Abtruse Tales".
If there's more of these, GOTY.

I'm intrigued, but I'm also super picky about my adventure games, so I'll wait for impressions before picking it up

Damn
I don't know, I'm finding the layout of everything way too open for it's own good. It feels like if I go in one direction I could be missing a ton of stuff across the other side of the map or in some little area without even knowing it.
Makes me wish they had some sort of map that's blank until you've discovered that area so you know where you've been or haven't been yet.
that fucking house with the blue portals for doors. Took me about an hour to figure that shit out to then go in the house across the street and realise the layout is the same. Was I supposed to check that house out first so I have the layout in my head?
