Quoted from Ferros:Yeah, I too thought the price was raised close to $3k USD. However, that price is only if you are in Europe. It says on the website(first page) that the VAT European tax will be removed at checkout. So, the outside Europe price is $2500; still a hefty price tag + shipping.
I had a buddy play this a few times at TPF and he was never able to actually complete a game. It sounds like this is more in an Alpha state than Beta from what I can tell/see. I'm Interested perhaps down the road, if all the bugs are fixed and it looks like a good value. Oh, and nobody is reporting HW/Parts/Pieces issues.
What do you mean "not complete a game"? Did the game crash or he did not get to saving the princess? The author said it was a design goal to make the game more difficult/deeper to make sure you do not reach the end easily.
