“So you could be fooled into thinking this is just another demo. Wrong, it’s not what it does but how it does it! An animated globe, pixel precise raytracings, perfectly animated pieces and a superb soundtrack. Even the credits are worth watching!”
— Andrew, Falcon’s NeST PDL
“‘Into the blue’ is one of the classic greets screens of our generation.”
