"Exploratory narrative, golf and steampunk are not words you would ever think to associate with one another, yet Vertiginous Golf wants to merge all of those strange terms into one very strange game. The world is a dreary landscape of never-ending rain and, thankfully, there is an escape in the rich virtual landscape of the Vertiginousphere, where you and your friends can relax in a kingdom on the clouds, floating on an endless blue sky, and take part in a relaxing game of miniature golf, complete with robotic hummingbirds, wicked traps and trails, the ability to rewind bad shots, and a tiny rocket that sits atop your ball so you can adjust your shot." - David Rhinehart of Geekenstein
Vertiginous Golf, by Kinelco & Lone Elk Creative, is available for free on Steam until 5pm tomorrow. In addition, Gold Packs are half-price for the game, until November 2nd.
Sounds very strange but would be rude not to add it to the backlog for the price of a breath of air!
Actually sounds pretty fun, will grab a copy on Steam now. Thanks for drawing it to my attention :)
What a weird idea for a game... sounds like good fun though. Will definitely takr a closer look
Bizzare sounding concept but does sound rather interesting besides who can say no to a free game!!
It's so nice to play a golf game that's more fantasy than simulation, because simulation golf games are getting a little stale. And the mini-golf alone sold it.

Build your vocabulary and your putting skills with Vertiginous Golf. This sports game might be one of the most awkwardly titled releases of all time, but its bizarre blend of steampunk and mini-golf adds up to an experience that is almost as appealing as it is peculiar. The developers have created something truly unique here, mashing together the world's greatest first-date sport with steampunk Victoriana so that you can putt to your heart's content on courses in the clouds. And it all works, with the bizarre background and the elaborate design of the courses turning a familiar and predictable sport into something new and intriguing.
