We were shown the protagonist, a Mistborn named Fiddle, who used his abilities to pull himself toward bits of metal on tall buildings, effectively scaling them. Fiddle also lifted and tossed around some metal objects, demonstrating some of the proposed puzzle potential in the game. Objects that could be pushed or pulled in some way were connected to the protagonist with a thin blue line it all looked very much like the magic is described in the books.
Perhaps the most interesting nugget of information that was dropped during the presentation was that Brandon Sanderson himself will be writing all of the dialog for the game. In fact, his agreement to the project was apparently contingent on this. For fans of the series this is fantastic news, but those unfamiliar with Sanderson's work can expect a greater quality of dialogue than typically found in games.
Details on the plot itself were sparse in the presentation, but Little Orbit did reveal that the game itself will take place 700 years before the first book in the Mistborn series.
