There’s no multiplayer mode, it’s a singleplayer game only.

Does anyone know how complex multiplayer mode will allow? Can it be played over network or are we stuck at the console? US 19.95 is quite reasonable, for a Linux game. If Loki would’ve been affordable, then it would’ve sold more titles rather than sit on depreciated stock of 2-year-old content.

Shweet! My own character can be generated? I’m going to model him after my favorite non-fiction actor, Uncle Ruckus from BOONDOCKS. lol

You make your own character; mine is sort of an approximation of my appearance for instance.

From the screen shots provided the player character looks like Gordon Freeman.

Yea … I played through the demo on my macbook as well on my Gentoo box. It played much better on my Gentoo box due to my quad core Geforce 8600 setup.

Anyways, the story seems good so far. The gameplay is also fun … except having to repeatedly hit the keyboard for gabes special.

Demoed, liked, and bought. Kind of reminds me of Psychonauts by Double Fine.

Also, there’s a direct download link for the demo at the playgreenhouse site, that doesn’t have the 5 minute wait of the atomicgamer link.

Your purchase link is wrong.

That is, unless you’re actually directing people to by greenhouse and gardening related supplies, which would be a bit of a departure from the norm.
