Crazy marketing and release strategy for this one, making it just vague enough to inspire drama between those-who-believe and those-who-didn't; from what I can tell, it has generated A LOT of interest, and the Steam numbers are super high right now. We might see more of these slow-leak-surprise-drop releases going forward, based on the success of this.
