They Breathe is disturbing in all the right ways. For starters, it's got the fear of running out of breath, one gamers have had since the days of Sonic the Hedgehog or before. And then there's the creatures.
They look to me like horrifying jellyfish; the developers call them "strange aquatic mooses." Whatever these things actually are, the way they squeeze the life out of frogs is not a particularly pleasant sight. A twist is being promised, with potentially "the coolest thing" about They Breathe being a story spoiler.
Since this is an Xbox Live Indie game, it's going to get overlooked. Be the minority.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

the beginning of the video reminded me of Ecco The Dolphin, but this game is nowhere near ecco in creepiness
I don't know, maybe its because I couldn't listen to the video where I am right now, but I have my doubts that narration could have help the reasoning behind Olympic class swimming cows and having to push other frogs from side to side.
and the music, remind me of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
And evertime i see this video, i keep waiting to AM tell something about hate or hate related things.
And about music comparison:

As said on my DA-account (http://teamlando.deviantart.com/#/d4ic9ga) I guess it was somewhat intended :P I'm the artist for the piece so I would know hehe.
@ Space Moose & Ricardo Ferreira
What can I say, don't judge a book by it's cover :)
@Magnalon
Glad to hear it! Hope you dig the game!
@Dancing mad & The Red Comet
Eccho was actually kiiind of an inspiration we had while drawing this, atleast for the water-feel and effects. The frog can actually perform a dolphin jump if he swims and boosts above the surface in the beginning, developer's secret! :D
@Henriquegds
I'll be sure to tell Joel that, he's our composer :)
@LuizPSC He's got a reason for being sad ;) and nice theory hehe.
