Seems like budget Tomb Raider

Exactly. Maybe it's enough for consoles, but not for PCs. Not with such graphic and animations.

if the stealth part is done correctly, this could be a good game ... the trailer looks promising ....

The gameplay seems rather weird (and has absolutely nothing to do with tomb raider). Try the demo or watch videos on Youtube - I'm not sure I'm going to like it.
I'd actually kind of want to like it, since Frozenbyte did a fantastic job with Trine 2 already.

It's a stealth based game, but with a time twist, first you control time forward as time passes only when you move (or you chose to with a key press), and second you can BACKspace through time (say you got killed, get back, do different).

FYI, the Steam Demo build is at v0.9.1 build 87 while their site has build 84, did not see any performance differences though.

/LE: Having another NPC to take care of and direct (although controlled by the computer mostly) does seem like a pain, for me at least.
