For the last few months I've been working on a very special project, and now I'm finally ready to launch a demo of Outscore, a cyberpunk point-and-click adventure!
Outscore is as much an homage to the old adventures of Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, et al. as it is a poignant critique of the new and inventive ways technology is coercing privacy and personal freedom. Despite the bleak setting and somber themes, I'm particularly proud of how the game manages to emulate the light-hearted tone of the most popular graphic adventures of the 90's, with its sarcastic dialogues and somewhat comedic puzzles.
The demo showcases the branching narrative structure that will be central to the game, by giving you two distinct options to complete it; if you think the game is pushing you to make unethical choices consider looking for alternative solutions. You'll interact with a small but well-realized cast of characters, solve complex puzzles, and immerse yourself in a disturbingly-realistic dystopian world.
Outscore was made using the same engine as modern hits such as Unavowed, Technobabylon, and Lamplight City, to name a few. This community's support is essential for it to be completed, so if you think a retro adventure with modern sci-fi themes is something you might enjoy, please show some love by checking out the site and downloading the demo!
