Kotaku published a very nice article on what could be an amazing game called A Hat In Time. If you're interested, you can support it on Steam Greenlight and back up their Kickstarter project (already more than fully funded but they aim for bonus chapters and full voice acting now).

As far as I'm concerned, they had me at Mustache Girl and the fact that the main character is a girl with a cape, a top hat and an umbrella. Where was this game when I was a girl?

According to several reports on Steam and info from one of the developers himself, Fez won't work with some Intel Integrated graphics cards: the game crashes or just won't load. Some users who could update their drivers said it worked eventually but others said it didn't help (not to mention those with cards too old for updates). If you're considering buying the game, check your specs. The game requirements are quite detailed but didn't really mention this in an obvious manner. If you have a dedicated chipset, do read some of the other reports as high resolutions may be problematic too. Personally, the game crashed for on initial loading but it worked fine when I restarted it. *crossing fingers*

To get more info and report issues see the official forum on Polytron.

Also Steam has version 1.02 while GOG has version 1.0. (this is not me saying you should buy it on steam!). It's also available through the Humble Store now. No idea which version it is :/

Edit: Up to version 1.03 on Steam now and see this post for more info on current issues and a possible patch for Intel Integrated graphics users.

Edit2: The game is up to version 1.06 now. See the release notes for what patches fix and don't fix.
