What Is "Reset"? Watch This Trailer To Find Out (Video)

The teaser trailer for Reset plays like something out of a Jim Jarmarusch film. In a rainy, seemingly deserted scifi city, a bulky robot, with very deliberate pacing, seems to ponder its atmosphere. At times staring off into the blinking distance of a revolving set of electronic billboards; at others its peering in first-person at the lighted carcasses of what appear to be abandoned vehicles; pervasive is a preoccupation with moving large metal crates. All of it is rendered in impressively gloomy visuals.

While this may not give you an idea of what Reset is actually about - the video description says it's a scifi noir mystery with puzzle solving, while the game's indiegogo campaign explains the puzzle solving involves working together with your past self to solve co-op problems – it certainly is intriguing.

With a little under two days left until its campaign runs out, the game needs a little help getting to the finish line, with about €42,000 of its €65,000 goal met (or around $57400 out of $88,800). From the looks of it, the Finnish developer, Theory Interactive, is a very small team (Reset is their first game), so hopefully they have a backup in place in case the Indiegogo goal isn't met.
