I've searched the forums for any mention of this and can't find any! If I've done the embarrassing duplicate thread thing, please delete.
But this game announced a couple of weeks ago excites me greatly, another sci-fi indie adventure game. Has a Beneath a Steel Sky feel to it from the screenshots.
Taken from the forum I found via Kotaku:
-
A Science Fiction Saga
(name subject to change)
The Story
What if a regular guy suddenly finds himself millenia in the future, in a world--or universe--that he doesn't understand, and which surely doesn't understand him?
This is the situation that Anderson Kane finds himself in when an incident at work turns his life upside down, inside out--as well as a few multidimensional variations--as he is forced to quickly adapt to a way of living the rest of mankind has evolved into for thousands of years.
Walk, stumble, fall, teleport, hyperspace, and wormhole your way in Anderson's white sneakers through various solar systems, interstellar spaceships, colonies, and alien outposts; uncovering an unsettling truth about the human race that will put you, and newfound friends/enemies, in a not entirely welcome spotlight.
Sometimes you just want to know what your place in the universe is.
Some features and "features"
- A story that will (hopefully) make your moral compass spin a bit.
- Characters that bring the universe to life.
- Dialog- and event-based puzzles.
- Interaction interface reminiscent of Full Throttle's (and more recently Gemini Rue's).
- Uncomplicated action sequences to break up the pacing of the game.
- A buttload of different areas to explore.
- More ways to die than is the norm in today's point and click adventure games.
- A change of outfits regularly so you never get tired of looking at Anderson.
- Not really recommended to a younger audience.
Updates?
