11 Bit Studios offers the game at a 50% discount to those who are willing to buy based just on the Secret Game teaser video.

Gamers may feel that game companies as them to take a leap of faith all the time when it comes to buying their games.  But, very few companies are ballsy-enough to ask you to buy their game without any idea of what the game actually is.  You’d have to feel pretty good about your game to do that… Right?

Well, it seems that 11 Bit Studios — an indie studio out of  Warsaw, Poland you may recognize based on their Anomaly titles — feels that way about their upcoming game.

The company released a Secret Game teaser video on YouTube this morning which shows very little about the game.

Post-apocalyptic?

Watching the Secret Game teaser trailer, the only thing I really pull from it is that the human race has apparently messed up and we’re left in a post-apocalyptic world.  Two men in has-mat suits roam about a desolate environment

The video also declares this unknown game to be “The most refined, the most stunning, the most challenging game experience from 11 Bit Studios.”

Announcement on Feb 28

That’s right, 11 Bit Studios will be waiting another two weeks to actually tell us what this game is.  But, they are hoping that some of us will be brave enough to throw $7.50 at them.  And, they plan on rewarding us for said bravery.  In addition to getting the game at a discount, 11 Bit Studios will also be giving the brave purchasers access to the multiplayer beta of the game which is expected to begin in late March.

The studio has also promised an extra “gaming gift”.  However, they’re being just as secretive about what that gift is as they are about what this game is.

For anyone unwilling to take the plunge and buy a game they don’t know what is, 11 Bit Studios requests that you wait for the announcement but warns that at that point the 50% discount deal will be over.

I have to admit, I’m pretty intrigued. And, I’m almost willing to throw money at them based on their boldness alone.

That said, the team obviously wants to let players get to know more about them, so they also released the first in a series of video developer blogs along with the teaser.  You can watch the first one titled, “How to make an indie game?” below.

No.. They don’t tell you any more about the actual game in it. Sorry…

    I just did the leap of faith.
    There was no eagle screaming, but since I liked their Warzone series I hope for the best.

    Why not guys give it ago, this is exactly what is wrong with the gaming scene today…

    People allowing the developers of a game to cash in before they even make a good product, most recent example? Look at Aliens CM, they knew the game was garbage so they went out of their way to mislead and just plain lie there way into as many pre-orders as possible knowing that the fallout was going to be as bad as it is.

    People need to stop this nonsense, people need to stop pre-ordering games AT ALL! All your doing is encouraging shoddy game development and what 11 bit are doing is a total joke, guess what? Your pre-rendered trailer is not going to be enough for me or any other sane person to part with their money…

    I wish i could just have the attitude live and let live but the people that fall for this kind of marketing nonsense encourage it for the rest of us to put up with for the foreseeable future, its about time we start sending a clear message to developers and that includes indy devs;

    You make a good product, you get our money, until that time, you get nothing, earn your customers money, don’t lie and cheat your way to it.

      I understand and respect your opinion, but there’s a difference in giving a small and more independent company a small amount or a big and almost not independent company almost the full stack of 60,- €.

      In this case of 11 Bit Studios, I like their Warzone series and I don’t have the feeling they are trying to cache in to limit a later fallout. The teaser did almost nothing for me, excpet the post apocalyptic atmosphere, which I also like.
      Yeah, I did a small risk with my € 5,80. But I still will never ever pre order a big title for 55,- €, just to save 10% or get a useless skin for some weapons.
