If you want to check out Subsurface Circular for yourself, visit the Steam store page. Though the game just came out a short while ago, it's already received positive reviews from the likes of Polygon and GamesRadar. The gameplay consists of selecting from a large array of dialogue options in conversations with various NPC robots. The game takes place entirely in a futuristic subway carriage, with the player investigating a string of missing robot cases. Subsurface Circular plays similarly to a text adventure title, but with a modern twist. So, would that work? If we just launched a short game, announcing it at the point it goes on sale? Let's find out in 5 minutes. In an interview with Eurogamer today, Bithel explained that he wanted to create a game that "respects the audience's time", since many gamers already have sizable backlogs of lengthy games that they'll probably never finish. Subsurface Circular's pre-release marketing strategy consisted entirely of a short series of tweets that Bithel sent out just 5 minutes before the game launched on Steam. However nobody could've anticipated today's surprise release of Subsurface Circular, a short sci-fi title that follows the life of a robot detective.īack in April, Bithel took to Twitter to ask his followers if they would be interested in a short, cheap game with a "unique feel/mechanic appeal," and the response was largely positive, though he didn't offer any other details on this mystery project at the time. If you've played Volume or Thomas Was Alone, you're probably already familiar with indie developer Mike Bithel and his fondness for quirky, narrative-driven games.
