Team Meat, the developer that brought the world the frustratingly hard platformer Super Meat Boy, released a trailer for an upcoming game that provides more questions than answers.
What's the true cost of frustrating games like Super Meat Boy?
The trailer, titled "A Voyeur for September," consists only of a series of grainy footage with solemn piano music and what sounds like radio communication in the background. The camera appears to be spying into the house of an unknown woman, which follows with the "voyeur" element of the title, and the video description offers no help other than calling it "a live action stealth game from Team Meat."
Here's where it gets interesting. YouTube commenters were quick to point out that the title "A Voyeur for September" is an anagram for "Super Meat Boy Forever." So is Team Meat's new game actually about stealthily peeking in unsuspecting peoples' windows, or is this trailer a red herring that conceals a bona fide sequel to everyone's favorite slaughterhouse simulator? Is this just the name for Super Meat Boy's long-awaited port to iOS? That would certainly be the tamest end result for this ordeal.

Thankfully, we shouldn't have to wait too long for an answer. Edmund McMillen, one of the men behind Team Meat, posted on his blog that Team Meat's next game is set to debut at PAX Prime at the end of the month. Incidentally, he also revealed that Team Meat's previously announced project Mew-Genics – what McMillen has called a "Cat Lady Sim" – is officially on hold until this next game/sequel/port/uncomfortable peeping simulator comes out.
