Ron Gilberts new adventure game The Cave announced
its just an observation based on what little we’ve seen O_O
Nobody said “this plays exactly like trine.” Just has some visual similarities.
Who knows how the switching works exactly, but all the articles i saw gave the impression it was trine-ish. Such as pcworld:Since the game requires you to go spelunking with a custom team of three characters (though not all at once; you can switch between them at will)
Very well could be that they stay on screen with AI though, not sure.
Makes sense, but I’m not basing it off of visuals, but more so the gameplay shown. 
I really can’t wait to see an official gameplay video, but based off of first opinions, it will be more like Limbo than the more action-based Trine.

Might be based on ‘Hollow Earth’ folk lore, by the sounds of it!
(There’s always that distinct possibility I’ve over-analysed the trailer a little too much. 
)
Right or wrong, weak or strong.
An interview with Ron from E3 is now up.

I liked Trine a lot, but this The Cave brings me bittersweet memorires of Vessel, which I thought was decidedly average. I hope (actually, I know) Gilbert can do better.
I’ll be previewing this for AG very soon, but to answer a couple of questions raised in this thread - one, yes you switch between the three characters while you’re playing (in fact it’s a necessity), and two, Ron considers Limbo a big influence for the game in general, but not for the gameplay itself (not for the types of puzzles you’ll encounter, I mean).
More details coming to the front page of AG soon. 
*Facepalm* the Cave/Ron was at E3. Why didn’t I connect the dots sooner when that little bell rung in my head when I saw ‘the Cave’ logo. Damn it. Oh well. Wish I was going all three days.

Hmm I was actually looking forward to Vessel after seeing the previews. Which part of it was a let down?

It was just a series of all-too-similar variations on the same idea. It seemed like they came up with a way of simulating fluid dynamics and decided to use it as the basis of a game. Some people might enjoy that but I found it boring.
