BadLand Games and Fictiorama Studios have today announced that they will be releasing a new point-and-click adventure real soon…and it promises to be rather unsettling.
Dead Synchronicity will arrive on both Xbox One and PS4 as a digital download from the 4th October 2016, priced at £24.99. Additionally, if you’re in the Playstation camp, then you should also be able to grab yourself a full boxed edition.
Edit: It has now been confirmed that the Xbox One version WILL NOT be arriving on 4th October. We’ll update once we know more.
Telling the story of Michael, a man with no past who must recover his identity and decode the two events that brought the world to the edge of collapse. The first is the so-called “Great Wave”, an inexplicable chain of natural disasters. The second is a pandemic that has turned humans into “the Dissolved”, infected beings with special cognitive powers whose sick bodies will eventually dissolve into blood. If Michael doesn’t hurry, he won’t be able to avoid the impending moment of “dead synchronicity”, when Time itself starts to dissolve.
Inspired by both Mad Max and 12 Monkeys, Dead Synchronicity features a dystopian script and pays homage to classic adventure games of yesteryear such as The Secret of Monkey Island, Broken Sword, and Day of the Tentacle. You’ll need to solve each puzzle to get closer to the truth and guide Michael to a future he may (or may not) be ready to face i.
Key features include:
- Revel in stunning 2D graphics that pay homage to German Expressionism.
- Solve puzzles to move the story forward and unravel a horrific sci-fi plot.
- Immerse yourself in a bloodstained world filled with dread.
- Enjoy a point-and-click interface reminiscent from ‘90s classics.
- Explore the world with old school “free-roaming” gameplay.
- Play with English or German voiceovers accompanied by an atmospheric score by indie rock band Kovalski.
We’ll be sure to remind you when the time comes to get involved.
