Here's our upcoming title for all of you WME aficionados...
Turmoil Games is excited to announce Alpha Polaris, an upcoming point &
click horror adventure game for Windows PC.
In the midst of the snowfields of Greenland lies Alpha Polaris, an
American oil research station. High above, the ion storm of the century is
gathering, bringing about a strange intermixing of reality and night
terrors. It is up to Rune Knudsen, a Norwegian biologist, to take on a
desperate struggle against fear and death, and to face the primordial
force lurking beyond the veiled sky.
“The heart of the game is its restrained horror setting. It allows us to
explore a wide range of human themes in a realistic way: paranoia,
isolation, friendship, love and so on. To us, that is the core of a good
horror adventure.”
Main features:
* Mature, character-driven storyline
* Streamlined point & click interface
* Puzzles are an integral part of the story
* 3D characters in beautiful, pre-rendered scenes
* 1280 x 800 widescreen resolution
* Expressive, hand-drawn dialogue portraits
* Atmospheric soundscape including original soundtrack
