God, I've been waiting to make this post for way too long.

La~Mulana is finally coming out. On the 13th of this very month.

The game is a sidescroller, kind of like Castlevania or Metroid, but brutally hard. Along the lines of I Wanna be the Guy. Some say it's worse.

It takes place in an ancient ruin, and you play as an Indiana Jones style archaeologist.

La~Mulana was released as freeware in 2005. Later, it was announced that an updated version would be coming to WiiWare. While it did eventually come to Japan, due to Nicalis' incompetence, it had to be canceled for an overseas release earlier this year.

However, the developers have ported it to the PC, and it's going to be released via a site called Playism on July 13, 2012. That's in seven days.

If you click the banner in my sig, it will take you to the official site. The blog there will be updated every day until release.

This is one of the greatest games ever made. I highly recomend everyone try it. Even if you don't buy it, the free version is available on "Aeon Genesis". However, it would be a huge help to Nigoro, the dev, if you bought it. They've been working long and hard on this, and it'd be a shame if it failed.
