A first person "fantasy adventure" game that requires a microphone. The gimmick: you cast spells by uttering phrases into your microphone. You can whisper them too if you're embarrassed, the voice recognition is quite good.
The graphic design is breathtaking. There are even puzzles, imagine that! I got stuck with a couple of them until I ran around for a bit.

Not only are there beautiful things and puzzles and spells, but there are also enemies. Dear god-- enemies? Yes! Enjoy frantically yelling offensive (spell) things at your microphone while your in-game self casts Glowing Hands™ over and over again. Did I say the voice recognition was good? There are a few exceptions. Mostly it comes down to knowing how to mouth the words. I've noticed that speaking the phrases quickly brings better results.

All in all I really enjoyed the game and I recommend it. Especially if you're frequently intoxicated.

Woah this actually looks pretty good! I know a few games have tried this sort of thing and failed miserably in the past, so it's great that it's actually been done well.

Unfortunately they seem to have taken the demo off their site, but it has enough positive reviews that I'll probably get it next!
