I've followed this game for about a year and it should be a great game... though I'm shocked it's struggling to meet it's goal. Spread the word, they only have 3 days. Back this bleepin game!

It's a first person horror game where you play as a 2 year old child...

Looks interesting.

They now have a playable Alpha version out. Funding was met last night with a $10,000 jump . I haven't had time to try the alpha yet, but the jump in funding leads me to believe it's good.

Without actually looking into it, I could see how playing as a 2 year old could be somewhat odd and probably frustrating. I see it going like this:

*Pressing W to go forward* "Oh crap, cant walk in a straight line *struggling to hold balance and keep self on straight course*

*BLAM* "Aww man I just clipped the corner on that table, where the hell did that come from?"

*Pressing buttons frantically with nothing happening, character on floor crying like their arm fell off*

*Watch mother character come and pick me up, keyboard controls not doing anything*

In all honesty that's how I would envision a first person game through the eyes f a 2 year old, but I will have to check the game out, it certainly sounds different

EDIT: So I took a look, and it does look interesting, will probably check out the alpha version just to see what its like as a game
