Multilytheus is a difficult abstract first-person puzzle game about navigating and understanding space.

You can view a new trailer here and read more about the game in this article Indie Statik wrote about it.

  • This game is about navigating and understanding space—the kind all around you, not just what’s above the earth’s atmosphere, but it is about that kind of space, too, or more generally the things out there we know nothing about, which includes a lot of stuff down here on earth. It is about how little you know about even the things at the periphery of your own personal perspective. In Multilytheus, you might find the unfamiliar threatening, but it all depends on how you approach it.
  • Multilytheus might seem to be asking you to approach it only with the intention of winning mastery over it like you must with so many other videogames, but first impressions aren’t everything. If those who completed Multilytheus were to receive a door prize, which they might feel they deserved because the game is just that difficult, the game itself would be forgotten in the scramble. Playing quickly only to win a prize is often disappointing. I’m not going to tell you what to do, but taking Multilytheus slowly might bring about more understanding and empathy.
  • Actually, I wouldn’t recommend taking my word for anything. Multilytheus is composed of many things, but the last of these of any importance is my own perspective. It is primarily composed of many pieces from the culture in which it was produced.
  • Multilytheus is equally inspired by At a Distance, Metroid Prime, Corrypt, Half-Life, Doom, Super Mario 64, 2001: A Space Odyssey (which isn’t a game), and these paintings by Paul Klee (which are also not games).
  • Multilytheus is a maze to be explored, and it won’t be easy to hold everything in your head. It’s as important to establish connections in your brain as it is between the corridors of Multilytheus if you mean to escape—if you think escape is a good goal to seek.

Really? No comments on this? At all?
This definitely needs more attention. If I buy it on Desura, and it is eventually released on Steam Greenlight, will I get a key since I already bought the game?
