So, this seems to have flown completely under the radar somehow, no idea why not a single minis game news outlet picked up the story, seems Paolo Parente and co. dont really know the value of marketing or something, but whatever, check it out:

Seems like an interesting concept for a game, not fully sure how much of this is really innovative, etc. but it at least sounds like it could be exciting and fun. The animations are a bit jerky but the graphic/art style is top notch
IMO, hopefully its something they can sort out with a bigger budget and more time/talent.
