Linger in Shadows is quite mysterious. We know that it's going to be a rather experimental release on the PSN -- a daring piece of "interactive art," according to PSN producer Rusty Buchart. But, what the experience be like? We're still unsure, but the ESRB has just rated the title -- and has claimed it A-OK for Everyone.

Early trailers of Linger in Shadows give off a very strange, creepy vibe. Looks like whatever this becomes, it will stay safely in PG territory. Don't expect any excessive violence or gore in this one, folks.

When I first viewed the trailer for this game It was presented as a tech demo. It was probably the most abstract demo I have ever seen and know they are making it into a game. No one really knows what this game will play like and it has spawned some interesting rumors such as that Linger in Shadows is Team Ico's next game. Seeing that it is rated E for everyone is even more intruiging seeing the bleak nature of the trailer. What do you guys think it will play like and do you think that this is team icos next project?

No clue. Seems very unique & interesting.... Right now I picture it to be like an interactive screen saver with you controlling the flying robot, but I really hope there is more to it than that. Also it most definitely has a team ICO visual style so maybe they are misleading us to believe it is something else. I guess nobody knows who the developer is?

just seems really creepy to me honest

I hope it's not the next Team Ico project becuase I was looking forward to something a little more a long the lines of slaying a bunch of colossi and less along the lines of flying dogs and cats and wierd octupuses.

Whoa. I may have to borrow a friend's PS3 to check this out. It looks like the sort of game that's trying to be art, and that's right up my alley.

Also, lol @ the flying dog.

Maybe a PSN Shadow of the Colossus-style game? The word 'shadow', and a similar art style. Also, the main character in that game was 'Wander', which sounds like he could be related to a 'Linger'.
