The Fifth Day |
|
Sell Phrase:
|
"The Fifth Day was both an end and a beginning."
|
|
Plot:
|
A fleet captain crash lands with a few other fleet ships on a lush planet moments after a failed hyperspace jump. As the captain, you must recover your crew members and find your way to the only functional ship left. However, the way they must leave the planet causes a massive explosion destroying most life. |
|
The Catch:
|
This "lush planet" is the Earth during the Cretaceous period. The average player will not recognize the correlation despite being shown Pangea during the crash sequence. This causes the player to rethink the future... and the past, upon completion of the game. |

The Catch:
|
"Smart Bosses" and an open ended upgrade system. The player is given optional upgrades which will boost his prowess but decrease his hitpoints. Equipoise is key. Smart bosses learn from the player's decisions about these upgrades and will fight with the player's weakness in mind. This leads to a unique and highly replayable single player game. |

Fearnot A Story Short
|
|
Sell Phrase:
|
"Wherein fear may dwell, fearnot thine self lest ye be swallowed o'er this art.” |
|
Plot:
|
After meeting the Beauty, you are entreated to help save the Beast but the Story Teller has a daunting premonition. The players decline and choose to slay the beast but endeavor a partner: The Beggar. The Beauty appeals but is spurned: "Mad let us grant him, then; and now remains that we find out the cause of this effect, or rather say, the cause of this defect. For this effect defective comes by cause. Thus it remains, and the remainder thus. Perpend." The end is unclear. |
|
The Catch:

The Story Teller and Beggar must work together to solve problems and puzzles. The story teller tells of presentiments and the Beggar tries his best to avoid them. The Beggar, with the help of the Story Teller, is able to change forms into various insects and animals to be able to complete humanly impossible tasks. Puzzles are diverse and forward the plot but nobody knows what will happen to the Beast. Do you? |
