I agree as well #25 … I love all those titles, (Beyond looks great) and I’d like to add add a few more to list: Braid, Limbo, Catherine, Shadow of the Colossus, L.A. Noire, and I’m sure there are others, but thats all I can think of at the moment. I wholeheartedly agree,

Keep making games for adults!

P.S. I’ve never played the MGS series though. I suppose I’ll have to go nab that collection soon. :)

Couldn’t agree more with #24… it’s why Ico, Flow, Flower, Journey, Heavy Rain, Portal, Beyond: Two Souls, and even my favorite game series Metal Gear Solid, get so much attention, on top of being great… they stand out for a reason…… Yes MGS has guns, but it’s more about the story + nature of people + societies / cultures, etc… it gives you something to THINK about, something to REALLY care about. I too am bored of all the same shooters and games that have no substance or point of view in the end.. Which is why I will buy Datura despite the not so perfect reviews, same reason I bought Papo + Yo.

Keep making games like these please!!! ( FOR ADULTS!!! )

Yep, favorite game so far this year! I would have gladly spent dozens upon dozens of hours in Datura’s world exploring, examining, and solving things had the game-length allowed me. I haven’t felt this sense of awe and wonderment since I played Cryo’s “Beyond Atlantis” series.
I love games that break out of the norm and give me something unique, new, and different to play. Games that have deeper meanings and delve into morality, spiritual concepts, human emotion, psychology and anything that gets my mind up and thinking about myself, the world we live in, and the others in it. There are lots of fun games out there, but very few actually concentrate on these diverse subjects. There is only so much shooting and slashing I can take. All other mediums of entertainment consistently ponder these subjects, and I think if video games are to be taken seriously we need a lot more of these types of games made. That being said, I am happy to see a steady increase of these types of games being made for the downloadable market.
Thank you, Plastic Studios, for the excellent game and now this beautiful soundtrack. And, FREE, at that! I can’t wait to see what you guys bring out next. I’ll be listening and waiting impatiently for it! :D

I loved Datura and it’s unique look. The main reason I haven’t gotten further is that it’s a little too creepy to play before bed time!

Thanks for releasing the soundtrack for free! Are there WAV files for download so I can listen to them lossless? I really wished the soundtrack for Linger in Shadows had been higher quality than the MP3s. (At least the Shatter soundtrack was 320kb/sec AAC.)

I’m really looking forward to your next “experience”. I hope you’re considering a PS3/Vita crossover game!

This game sure was cool, but the controls were my only complaint just like @18.

Well this is good news considering they really messed up the dualshock controls. Is that going to be patched? the game is kinda hard to play with PS Move and the dualshock 3 doesn’t even work well with it! Grrrr!!

I bought Datura when it debuted. It was really odd. Beautifully rendered, but odd. It was obviously about dying, maybe the “your life flashing” images. It was something so different & creative that I’m not sorry I bought it. That part @ the end–no spoilers–where you get that picture? Really creepy, disturbing & something so different from everything I play.

I had to use the dual shock because the Move was just not making it for me.
