Grimrock

Grimrock II is great news! Looking forward to it. Gameplay is going to be the main concern for good reason, but I'd like to add that I loved how elegantly minimalistic the narrative of LoG was. I hope for something similar (aesthetically, not strictly in terms of content) in G-II.

This is the second "congrats" thread I'm joining, but I really couldn't agree more with most of what's already been said here. The game really is a pleasure to look at and play: extremely well-crafted puzzles (some easy, some difficult), good monster variety and placement, logical but stil...
