I’m going to guess that decision was based on the failures of the recent 2.5D PoP games, which were well reviewed but barely advertised (and oft compared to indie games)

Sands of Time remake is CANCELLED? It was the best PoP game!

Warrior Within and The Two Thrones contiued the Sands of Time story and were both pretty good too.

Warrior Within totally fucked up the vibe though, and the combat was rubbish. It’s a puzzle game, the fighting was just a little break, but they tried to make it too big a part.
Two Thrones was 50% SoT and 50% WW, when it should have been 99% SoT and 1% WW. The voice in your head thing from TT was pretty good, until you have to fight it.

Given the original announcement footage, it might be for the best...

It did kind of give that alpha stage vibe, but if it was like a few bucks, it probably buy it. It was a remake after all, with slightly better graphics.
