Nice. Although i didnt get to finish any of the Trines, 1 and 2 were really cool (didnt play 3). I hope they have some sort of coop mode here as well. That was the best part of Trine, the teamwork experience.

So, a combination like gameplay of Prince of Persia Sands of Time and Assassins Creed?

Interesting.

I doubt there will be a co-op mode, unless they're making a whole set of maps designed for that, and still they need to figure out something for the "double player - double rewind" issue. Two players could solve the maps way more easily than one, so putting two players on a "regular" map seems pointless, it would take away the challenge.

Not really, it's more like a logical / puzzle game, not an action one like those two. Also the time manipulation is the main feature, not just an escape mechanism like in PoP.

There was a demo weekend for it (turtle had a thread about it, http://forums.mmorpg.com/discussion/comment/6871568/#Comment_6871568 ), based on that the game will launch at 14.5 bucks
It's a cool game, even if I'm not a stealthy fan. I think I'll grab a copy when it launches, the demo is still installed on my hdd and I've ran through it a couple more times after the weekend as well.

edit: here's a fun playthrough of the demo if you're interested in the gameplay, not the best (obviously) but hilarious to watch as she discovering options and cussing

(play starts at around 7min, before that just the lead-in infos about the game and the demo campaign. This is maybe the most "action" you can get from it, she kills almost the whole map...  )

UPDATE:
Just received an email from the publisher:

Thanks for posting! Shadwen won't have co-op, it is single player only. 

Cheers,

Bummer. I hope the game is good. Thanks for following up with them.

Told ya as I guessed above, two players could be great, but you need a whole new set of maps for that, based on two player's cooperative actions. But in turn, those would be unsolvable for a single player. Maybe it's a cool idea for a sequel?

I must say it's great how quickly they responded, a lot of bigger games / studios have much lazier communication with the fans  
Now that I watched that video I posted, with the streamer's goofing around, I got into the mood and played it through myself too. Still can't do it without killing any guards... but still fun. And at least there's still an urge to try again.

@blueturtle13 ; (and other demo players), Shadwen sneaked out from the dark, and for a week there's even a launch discount from the already lowered price due to the demo plays

Can't wait to test the full game, with all the mechanics which were left out of the demo...
