His initial post was from 3 years ago, it looks like a lot of time went into initial development.
It's Episodic and progress seems slow, but it looks promising.
Hopefully, it's not the next Kentucky Route Zero.
It does seem to have a fixed camera, which would be a shame :(
This was the only gameplay footage that I saw. It's from Jan 2017, so a lot could have changed and been polished.
