As the headline immediately informed you with a great deal of clarity, Tyler Glaiel’s tricksy puzzler, Closure, is finally coming to PC after its PSN debut, with a Steam release set for September 7th. Originally a free Flash release, Closure’s weirdness is that each part of the monochromatic world only exists when there is a light shining on it. Just as popular digital download services cease to exist when you switch off your monitor, Closure’s platforms and switches have no solidity unless they are illuminated. Trailer and more details below.
Eurogamer discovered that the PC version can be played in “any resolution”, will have an unlockable dev commentary and comes bundled with the internal development tools. So, modding will be possible by anyone capable of getting to grips with those.
There you go then. Closure is coming to Steam.

On a scale of 1-10, where 7-9 are the only valid answers, how much did you enjoy making that title?

I wonder how tempting it must have been not to include the “(No, Not Like That)”.

My ceiling now has two holes in it as a result of my eyebrows arching to the point of reaching escape velocity. Shall I forward you the invoice Adam? :)
On topic, always pleased to see PSN and XBLA games make the jump to PC.

Wow, you guys really need more clicks apparently.

I’m pretty sure it’s just the RPS sense of humour, actually.

And it was nice of you to show up and help them out.
…oh wait, you said ‘clicks’. My mistake.

So THAT explains the sudden burst of happiness, glee and schadenfreude from the Anti-Steam Bandwagon. Quickly followed by a collective “ah bummer”.

two can play at that game!
Valve Closing: no More Steam

And then Gabe shows up and plays the ultimate trump card. Actually closes Steam.
23/08/2012 at 16:07 Urthman says:
Didn’t I already play this game on PC? Was there maybe a free Flash version first?
23/08/2012 at 16:21 Hodge says:
Yes!

I see you trollin’, I hatin’.
23/08/2012 at 16:43 Gregg B says:
Wow, that looks brilliant. I loved the Flash version waaay back so I’ve high hopes for this.

What? Steam is closing? NOOOOO ALL THE OF THE STEAM NAY SAYERS ARE RIGHT! *jumps out window…which is only 3 feet off the ground. Looks both ways, and then runs off into the woods never to be seen again.*

Haven’t seen such a fun title since http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/03/30/gabe-confirms-episode-3-cancelled/

Why does every new Gleam game look and play exactly alike? They really don’t seem to care for diversity and fresh ideas/art over there too much it seems.
23/08/2012 at 20:51 Saldek says:
What is this Gleam you speak of, Impaler?
23/08/2012 at 20:54 RobF says:
Your ability to shoehorn in an anti-Steam comment whilst never being able to type “Steam” is unceasingly amazing.
Also, amazingly ill considered in reference to the game we’re talking about here considering…
24/08/2012 at 02:08 Ahtaps says:
Is that a commentary on the games industry?
23/08/2012 at 18:52 kwyjibo says:
The flash game has better art than the actual game.
Sticking with the Flash.

Only forgivable for the pun :D
(But seriously, let’s not go down the kotaku path, eh?)
23/08/2012 at 21:50 RichieJohn says:
Can’t wait. It never came to UK PSN for some reason so I should be able to play it now.
Ace!

The game looks really nice. The music, in the trailer at least, seems totally inappropriate.
