SEGA have just announced, via a partnership with Double Fine Productions, a new game from Ron Gilbert called The Cave. “An adventure game so odd and compelling that it can only be described as odd and compelling,” says the press release, “The Cave will be coming to consoles and PCs for digital download worldwide in early 2013.”
“If you enjoy rappelling, spelunking and dark rocky caverns then be prepared to be disappointed! And then intrigued. And then AMAZED. And then disappointed again, but only for a minute. Then relieved, amused, bewildered, excited, and satisfied. In that order.”
Read more about the game here, it certainly sounds kooky and original. “The concept of The Cave has been bouncing around in my head for many, many years,” said Ron Gilbert. “I’m thrilled to be working with amazingly talented folks at Double Fine.”

Great idea to have a debut trailer on the official homepage and mark it as private on Youtube…

Yeah, I was wondering that too. I’ve found this one though, which I think is the same one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqqM-kuAKTo

Anything Double Fine is day one for me! Love the character and charm of their games, along with the humour, of course.
Gilbert has released pictures of the characters for the game on his blog btw.

That looks pretty cool, although I’m worried that the 3d-but-2d paradigm might be wearing a little thin these days.
