Warning! NSFW!

Okay, now that I have your attention – I got home earlier tonight to an IM left for me by my buddy Edmund McMillen (Gish, Tri-achnid) about the new game he worked on with Florian Himsl (his partner on Tri-achnid). Let’s just say this is one of those games that is sure to cause its own share of controversy amongst the gaming community. I like games that push the barriers of what people find to be acceptable, so I’m all about this latest creation.

The game’s already popped up on TIGSource, of course – no mention yet on Kotaku or elsewhere. I’m curious to see how the reaction spreads over the coming days/weeks. The game itself, in my opinion, is not offensive – however people who find such material offending will be the ones to lead the outcry against it. I don’t know if that made sense to any of you, but I guess what I’m trying to say is I don’t see the game as being suggestive in any way – it’s just a rather uhm… interesting twist on the shooter genre.
