Hollow Knight's trailer took me by surprise, not only do the graphics and animations look really sweet, but the gameplay actually looks rather good. I think this is one I'm really going to have to keep an eye on.

The developers say it will release in 2016 for Linux and other platforms. It looks like it will have both a DRM free release, as well as a Steam version.

About the game
Brave the Depths of a Forgotten Kingdom

Beneath the fading town of Dirtmouth sleeps an ancient, forgotten kingdom. Many are drawn beneath the surface, searching for riches, or glory, or answers to old secrets.

As the enigmatic Hollow Knight, you’ll traverse the depths, unravel its mysteries and conquer its evils.

Use Your Skills and Reflexes to Survive

Hollow Knight is a challenging 2D action-adventure. You’ll explore twisting caverns, battle tainted creatures and escape intricate traps, all to solve an ancient long-hidden mystery.

Explore vast, Inter-connected Worlds
Encounter a bizarre collection of friends and foes
Evolve with powerful new skills and abilities

Quoting: GuestLast time I checked the permit to play (any) game on Steam is a valid acount, so in principle you are not allowed to play it without verifying (by logging in / starting from the Steam client) that you do.

Hm. This doesn't sound good. In the Steam User Agreement they state:

QuoteTo make use of the Content and Services, you must have a Steam Account and you may be required to be running the Steam client and maintaining a connection to the Internet.

So it sound like you are allowed to start certain Content without running the client or having internet connection. But it seems that you must have an account. Well - what are they actually saying? Just an account? Or a valid/active one?

Wow. It's sad to see the comment section on such a beautiful game devolve into a completely irrelevant debate about DRM and Steam.

I agree, and we do have a forum thread for that discussion.

Thanks for the head up. I didn't mean to interrupt the discussion about this game.

Anyway, this game will likely end up on my wishlist. I really dig the art style. Especially the "film grain". I wonder how it turns out in real time. The grain is not really visible in the videos as it is in the screenshots.
