I figured that a few people here would be interested to know that Ice-Pick Lodge's next game, Cargo, is supposed to be released later this year.

Surprisingly it sounds like the polar opposite of dark and moody.

Items with weight become the most valuable on the planet. But there is hope! “FUN”, the magical extract of concentrated happiness, returns weight to items.

What the fuck? :)
...but then again, that was my reaction when I read about The Void, too.
Thanks for the info, anyway.

These comments show how little imagination you have..

On topic:
This could be refreshing. As expected it looks to be original with a good measure of abstract concepts thrown in. Could turn out to be an abstract Psychonauts.

Koki does make the occasional joke.
Anyway, these guys are nuts. I think I get their philosophy a little bit. Where most games involve spaces that gameplay happens in, Ice pick are trying make space, gameplay and narrative all fundamentally intertwined. And this in a psychedelic game that sounds like Viva Pinata meet Giants.
Crazy.

Even if that were applicable here, I still stand by my comment..
