I think this whole project was toxic and the game is dead. Nintendo parted with Silicon Knights for good reason.

Why so toxic? I know Silicon Knights had problems with one particular employee, but that can happen to *any* developer, any business

If this is anything like the original Eternal Darkness, it should be great.

And besides, the Polygon article confirms its alive in some way.

Essentially reports were that Silicon Knights lived off the reputation of Eternal Darkness and that Nintendo helped that project quite a bit. See also the MGS remake.  

They made Too Human with Microsoft, which I'm pretty sure bombed critically and sales wise.  Then they went to Activision and made X-Men: Destiny and that was a disaster of a title.

Point is I loved Eternal Darkness, but it is clear that Silicon Knights got desperate after two major bombs and tried to drum up support and the crowd funding effort failed while being plagued by bad press about reports within the studio and people who run it.  At this stage I'd rather someone else try to mimic the best elements of Etenral Darkness and Silicon Knights just go away.
