Oh Man! I heard about this game. I followed it around when TLOU was teased and people were looking at Santa Monica as the developers cuz they were making a game.

Its an adventure game where your actions change the way the game looks drastically. Its a pretty awesome game, the forest scene was so eerie. Datura is the name of a flower which has hallucinogenic properties.

So the entire game could very well be a hallucination. Another awesome game for the Move.

Its supposed to be a very artistic game, kinda like Journey. Its gonna be short, like the size of a movie.

The game is based upon our choices. Like the choice where the guy scrubs the ice and sees a Trophy and a Person. Its your choice to save which one. Your choice will change the forest.

The Trophy whores will ofcourse save the Trophy. xD

With all due respect, Journey blew me away the first time I saw it. This didn't, it looks kinda clumsy to play. Journey is butter smooth. The controls are smoother than the drool that flows with your dropped jaw when you play Journey for the first time in HD.

Hehe.... well this is a different kind of artistic. Its supposed to represent freedom, and freedom can be a bit clumsy. Not saying that this is better than Journey or anything, just saying that both of these games try to be more than just a game you play for fun. They try to have some deeper meaning, something that should be tried more often in the Gaming Industry.

One thing both Journey and Datura do have in common is Sony Santa Monica's involvement.

I think the clumsiness comes from the fact that this is a motion controlled game. As in, such games are usually as clumsy as the person controlling them.

Its certainly something different, and I applaud devs for making something so different. TGC and Santa Monica are actually trying something different rather than just churning out mainstream games.

Well, if you're exploring something new, you'll always be clumsy
