A word like "unveiled" gives an air of drama that probably should not be used to describe the release of screenshots. If I go back and change the headline now, I'll have to spend another twenty minutes trying to find a way to reference the light and shadow elements in Lost in Shadow without completely sacrificing my dignity.
Since nobody wants that, how about we instead take some of that time and admire these lovely screenshots for Lost in Shadow which Hudson has released.
Mild curiosity is all I can really muster right now. It's visually interesting but I'm not sure that I really want to play it. I think LIMBO really soured me on oppressive visual designs. Has anybody played an import of Lost in Shadow? Any thoughts?

People who aren't any good at puzzles/thinking out of the box probably think it's impossible.
I'd say: Give it a try. It's really good.
How long have you been playing? How's the difficulty?
Wow, that's a strong endorsement. I've been looking forward to the game since it was announced, but the full-retail price point has deterred me a bit. Hopefully it comes out bargain-priced...
It's a shame that this game is destined to bomb. A) niche third-party title from a small time developer with a pretty bad track record B) little marketing effort C) comes out after the holiday season d) its on Wii.
I think we're looking at another potential hidden gem in the Wii's game library.
I bet retailers are going to drop the price fast probably down to $29 or $19 in no time.
2D home console games are dead on arrival at retail unless it starts with the name, Super Mario.
I've been playing for 8 hours or so. The puzzles are clever, but far from brutal (*cough* Limbo *cough*), yet there's also some combat. However, I'm playing on "Normal" difficulty and it hasn't given me much of a hard time so far.
That being said, this also looks like something i'll pick up when it comes out.
Just out of curiosity what was it about Limbo that you disliked?
I've only played the demo so far and found it quite enjoyable and was considering getting the game. Though admittedly I would probably wait for it to hit the 800ms points mark. I'm spoiled by the steam sales :)
It's one of those games which, while I totally understand why other people enjoy it, I can't get behind.
