http://www.twitch.tv/gogcom will have a release stream for Superhot in 3 hours. It's not officially announced on GOG yet, but they've been hinting about the stream enough to make me almost certain that this will be the game.
You can check from this link when the stream will be in your local time. It's the only release stream on Thursday.

They often have dev guests on release streams, so they could get one (or two) for this stream too.
Superhot is a single-player FPS where time only moves when you do. It looks like it could be good fun. It's being released today on Steam, GOG and maybe a couple of other places.

From their site:
"NO PREORDERS"
Fuck off.
 No Release Stream Today For Superhot

The release stream is postponed until tomorrow. Probably. It's not happening today at least.
Sorry for the false alarm.
 Wuh? Wah?

Permanent bullet time and no textures??

Sort of. Times doesn't move unless you do. It's interesting ...

I thought that hype was last year already? Wasn't it released?
 WTF Is Superhot

Total Biscuit video:

It was supposed to be released today. There's still some today left in Poland, so I dunno if it's delayed or not.

There was a Quake version released for April's Fools by the way.

It's out. In America at least. I haven't had a chance to try it yet tho...
 I Played The Demo

On their website.
Nice idea, don't really need to play the rest though.
 Hmmm
#9030 posted by ijed on 2016/02/26 13:30:38
Ok, watching the biscuit video makes it seem much more appealing...
 Ok Bought It

SuperHot is fun so far ... but it gets hard pretty quick. Nice when you finally get past a tough spot tho ...

Does it run as badly for you as for me?
I had to reduce everything so that combat wasn't dropping frames all over the place. It's still jerky as fuck in the replays though.
Even so, the story is great so far, and the puzzle combat (can't remember the proper word for it) is entertaining, much more than similar games like Frozen Synapse.
 Call Of Cthulhu

http://callofcthulhu-game.com/ just released their first 2 screenshots.
I mean, it looks nice. Not much else to say right now.

"RPG-Investigation game with psychological horror and stealth mechanics"
Interesting. Hopefully it's not boring which a lot of investigation and/or surival-horror games suffer from.

It just crossed over into "fuck this bullshit" territory for me. I just don't have the patience anymore, apparently...
 Just Tried Running SH

At home and it crashed: out of memory.
Unity :(
 Call Of Cthulhu

Not sure if this is the same ones who did the Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth game.
It was ok. Console game with a buggy PC port.
I remember it was impossible to escape the Shoggoth unless you lowered your screen resolution (to TV / console levels) so that it ran at 30 FPS and you could actually outrun the thing.

Almost no information but a promising premise....
 Superbiscuit.

Okay watching him play it, it actually looks pretty interesting - very tactical.
Also looks pretty frustrating tho...
 Sometimes

But the payoff when you get it just right is great.
It's a great concept, well executed on the design side but technically weak. Having said that I'm the only one having hardware issues.
I bought after biscuit said 'nueromanceresque' and was very happy when this turned out to be true.

Pain about the replays being so jerky, I guess one could turn mouse sensitivity right down to counter that
#9043 posted by Killes on 2016/02/28 14:46:52
Otherwise I like it.
The simple pure thing going on is cool, I could also see the concept used in a more complex game.
I know bullet time in FPS sucks but I think if it is applied in the vein of the player being a GITS/Syndicate cyborg agent with many abilities to tactically manage it would be cool, all with the same level of challenge/puzzle superhot gives.
