It's only on XBL at the moment, but it might get a port I suppose. Just tried the trial, might have to buy the full game. Seems a bit overpriced, but it seems to be a very good game. It's one of those games that doesn't teach you anything either. There aren't any prompts for "Press X to do this" or "Watch out for these", it just starts up and you have to learn everything as you play.

Love this game. It's a great platformer, and as an added bonus it's also really creepy.

This game also has a bit of an Unfair Platformer thing going as well. Like there was one part with a big button on the floor, below a big rock. Obviously, stepping on the button would release the rock, so of course you try to jump over it. But no! The ground around the button releases the rock, so you die. Next go, jump on the button and then over the other side, safe. Just after, and identical trap. You jump on the button, only this it is the button that releases the rock.
It's very much about trial and error puzzle solving.

I got really creeped out by the trailer. Looks really interesting.

I heard it was amazing, despite being a bit expensive as you said. I'd buy it if it came to PC or PS3.

Same here.
Is this as creepy and atmospheric as it looks?

It's a pretty short game too. About 4 or 5 hours first time through. There's an achievement for playing though it in one sitting and dying less than 5 times.

Given the option, I used a bear trap. Fun game.

Played it on Vita seems exactly the same as I remember.
I do think the asking price is too much, its also so muc less frustrating when you got the haze of familiarity to guide you through, did half the dark area i'll try and finish that later.

It's shorter than I remember, although I guess that's because I wasn't dying as much.

Yeah, even the dark cave was easy enough.
Was fun though. apparently there's additional secret eggs that aren't marked by trophies, one of them you can only get if you get through the game with no deaths, shame there is no apparent record of how many you've collected.
