Got a response from Stcware support, they are waiting for the Australian classification board to give it a rating before it can be released.

there is no story it is words written on walls with 3 cut scenes . don’t buy it for that price its a walking Sim with no story and the puzzles are made for 5 year olds because so far my 8 year old cousin has passed all them in his first try . go buy a game worth the price like shovel knight or even that bull game that released or ori but in Canada this game is $23 after tax and its a joke if you think for $29 right now you can buy both wolfenstien games on Xbox live so for$6 more you can get 2 great games with a real story and real game play. go buy lifless planet now there is a game that is worth even more than there asking with great story and puzzles and amazing collectables that ad a lot to the story not just pointless pictures

While I enjoyed Lifeless Planet for what it is, if you think that it has more of a story than NERO or has more to do you haven’t actually played through one of them (with the “three cutscenes” comment I would imagine it is NERO because there are at least six in the very first level if it is played through without bypassing puzzles). I can’t remember Lifeless Planet having a single “puzzle” (except for the inadvertent backtracking because so many things look similar) and there is a cool story in LP, but the ends don’t quite met the way that they should, and some of it becomes nonsense even for sci-fi standards. In NERO you can miss quite a few of the story puzzles if you are not paying attention, and they are a bit more complex than the progression puzzles and open up a far deeper tale. And if you have played through NERO and completed the story puzzles, then you would know why the story is written along the path.

But if we are going to name off games that someone might consider a better value that are not comparable by any standard, why stop with Wolfenstein of Shovel Knight? Instead of Shovel Knight why not pick up Unity? It is fixed and has more to do with a multiplayer. Destiny is on sale and it might take you longer to complete. Both have better graphics and music (I understand why Shovel KNight is the way it is.) But since there are AAA games that I can rattle off that are more mainstream and cheaper, then Wolfenstein and Shovel Knight must be a “joke” as well?

The “joke” is that you think you can assign the designation of a “real story” or a “real game” to anything. Are there games that are imaginary? Just figments of all of our imaginations when we look at the Xbox One marketplace? The punchline to that “joke” is when individuals think the things they enjoy are the only things that could possibly worth someone else’s money, and if they don’t care for it then it must be a waste for everyone and “not real.”

I take that back, Lifeless Planet did have three puzzles that I can recall where you slid the blocks in a simple pattern to start a portal, and the lava and steam geysers (and the last two are pushing what I would call a “puzzle”).
