We want to thank you all for your support and patience. We know this delay may be disappointing to some, but we're confident it will ultimately provide a better play experience for all.

Thank you,

PC Gamer/GamesRadar has published a preview of Hinterland! Here's a snippit:

As excited as everyone is by Diablo III, you find yourself wondering: what else could an RPG be? Is collecting loot, side-questing, selling to shopkeepers (and repeat) the only way to do it? Hinterland is built off the same fantasy ingredients we're used to seeing in RPGs, and you can spot the inspiration - Diablo, Rogue-games, Dwarf Fortress, city-builders - but we've never seen the ideas mashed up like this. "In making it, we kind of had this 'why didn’t someone make this before?' feeling," says Jeff Fiske, co-designer.

We are now accepting new applications for the Tilted Mill Insider program!
