After a ten-year wait, one-person project Radio The Universe is almost here. Here's the trailer.

Radio the Universe is a dark, minimalist sojourn through a vast system aeons beyond salvation.

A blend of heavy action and atmospheric exploration.

Radio The Universe has been at the back of my mind since I barely missed its modest but successful Kickstarter at the very start of 2013. Since then, enigmatic developer sixe has drip-fed sporadic updates like Chinese water torture. Understandably, a number of people gave up hoping that it would ever come out, but once or twice a year something new would bubble up to the surface, and each subsequent preview we got made me respect sixe's commitment to their vision, as I could see how painstakingly this game was being crafted. The demo finally became available a few days ago during Steam's NextFest, and it's apparent how much the game has been honed beyond what we'd already seen. My own playthrough (in which I saw maybe 65-75% of the content?) lasted just over 90 minutes, and only when I was done did I realize I had been holding my breath the entire time.

I am waiting impatiently for the full release.
