I will admit right now that, even while I'm downloading Cargo: The Quest for Gravity on Steam, I have no idea what it's about. I found out about the game on RPS' recently published impressions piece, but I don't want to read it yet because this seems like the kind of game I want to be surprised by.
So far, I know it has small, midget-like people with weird, old-person faces. Frankly, that's enough to convince me that we're looking at something special. The game also comes from Ice-Pick Lodge, the crazy Russian guys responsible for Pathologic and The Void. Even if the game turns out to not be great, it's sure to be memorable.
It's $19.99, and I'll be back later with my Jimpressions. I am really looking forward to seeing what this is all about!

It has a system much like B-K: Nuts and Bolts, where you create custom vehicles to travel around the world. Tasks range from simple exploration and part collecting to kicking midgets in the bum and making them dance to stop them from committing suicide.
Buy it. If only for the fact that these developers are trying something different.
I just wept.
