It's a puzzle game where you must summon objects in order to help the main character obtain pieces of "starite." You can type in tens of thousands of objects (no adjectives, no profanity, no copyrighted words) to help you meet the goal. Like in one of the simple levels early in the game the piece of starite is in a tree, you can type in ladder and the character will climb up and grab it, or type in lumberjack and one will appear and then go cut the tree down, or you could type in jetpack and fly up to grab it, etc.

Here's one guy's thoughts after playing the game at E3...

The dinosaur zombie robot story was awesome. That game wasn't even on my map until all the E3 reviews from IGN.

SI
