I tried the game and couldn't get past the performance. I don't have anything close to a high end rig, but I heard that one of the features of the game was that it ran well on a range of machines. It ran the same at a wide range of settings too, so I don't really know what to make of it. It's too bad because I really dig the art style. I'll give it a try every now and then and see if things run better.

Don't let my experience keep you from trying the game though, it might run smooth as silk on your machine.
