Out on Sold out software for 4.99
The game itself is ok, being a third person doom clone, but as a work of art it's astounding. Chris Vrenners (NIN) ambiant score is impressive too.
Well worth the cash. I'm looking fiorward to his take on "Oz" now.

I dont think the Wizard of Oz guy was into Cannabis, and Lewis Carroll drugs influence is a myth

Thats excatly what I thought, fun demo, amazing graphics, but the level design was a little predictable (what happened to the moive that was going to be based on the game?)... I did however, recently pick it up from a bargin bin - just gotta get around to playing it!

I really enjoyed the demo myself, but never got the full version; I probably will now, however. £4.99 is very tempting if my stupid XP PC will actually let it run.
It's a very well made game: Built by American McGhee, a well known designer (With UT, Doom and Quake series' levels to his credit) with artwork by the master of freaky paintings, Mark Ryder.

I wasn't too impressed with the demo when I played it a few years ago, felt the game was just a typical platform yarn, which is a type of game I don't particularly enjoy much. However, the level design and overall look where amazing, especially the level where the room you're in just splits apart in a vortex like void.
For a fiver it may be worth checking out just to see what else lies to be discovered in the game.
