Black Forest Games announces an October 23rd release date for the Windows edition of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, the platformer they recently Kickstarted under the title Project Giana (the console editions are expected next year). Here's word:

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is a challenging fast-paced platformer with a twist. Players can warp Giana’s dream into a nightmarish world of wonder, changing her abilities and interactions. Players must use their skills, speed, brains, and powers to defeat the dangers that populate her twisted dreams!
