Song: Rev. Gary Davis - Death Don't Have No Mercy

"In Georgia folklore, the Altamaha-ha (or Altie) is a legendary creature, alleged to inhabit the myriad small streams and abandoned rice fields near the mouth of the Altamaha River (after which it is named) in southeastern Georgia. Sightings are particularly reported around Darien and elsewhere in McIntosh County."

I need more games with kind of energy. Like Hunt: Showdown, I really dig the old Louisiana mystic-horror feel and need more games of multiple different genres with this kind of vibe

[atticusrex]

It's about time someone delved into the deep and well established folklore of the south. Full of lots of really interesting and awesome monsters and legends.

[TorQueMoD]

Jesus, this is one of the most gorgeous animations I've ever seen. I really hope this is what the actual game looks like. That lead character is gorgeous too!

[RenegadeLK]

This looks incredible! Love the stop motion feel.

This trailer is even better now that we have gameplay out

[Oozywolf]

Looks to me that the fingers line up perfectly with the music. Awesome trailer. Hoping we get to explore some awesome Blues culture with some original Black characters. This gives me Supergiant vibes, and as they're my favorite developer, that's extremely high praise. Very very very cool.

I was just listening to the original "Death Don't Have No Mercy" by Blind Gary Davis, and this popped up, looks interesting, It's good to see the blues make a resurgence with such a reverence to the art that this "Shakin Bones" character seems to hold in his design, and direction.

Fingers crossed that the trailer style translates over to the in-game presentation. Very intrigued!

[neonlights]

THE THUMB PRINTS ON THE MODELS??? IM ABSOLUTELY ENTHRALLED. PLEASE MAKE THE GAME EVEN HALF AS BEAUTIFUL AS THIS

[Subjectively]

Trailers like this make me so excited, even without any context of what the game may be

[AmphibiousWarrior]

Holy smokes! This trailer had me absolutely captivated. I want a full movie.

[johantorres]

The semi-decomposing giant is giving me ideas he might be some River king of the Bayou... Which is most scary, intriguing and amazing

[haterhayder]

Finally something fresh and original, definitely looking forward to this one.

[Working_Man]

This is not just game. It looks like awesome artwork. I want one.

[spaghettifanno]

I'm rooting for this game, especially as it's the same studio that made We Happy Few... hope it's different this time and lives up to this gorgeous trailer!!

[tommaddi]

Love the Spiderverse style animation, not just the art itself but the way they animate with fewer frames to give it a stop-motion feel. Great stuff.
