The Adventuress

Demo Releases…

by Amber on April 12th, 2006

I’ve talked here about two different adventure games that are coming out soon… Daemonica and Pathlogic. Well… it just so happens that BOTH games have just released a new demo! Isn’t that sweet?

This is what Adventure Gamers says about the Pathlogic demo:

The surreal adventure with elements of survival horror, simulation, and RPGs takes place in a town infected by a deadly plague. In the demo, you’ll assume the role of the “Haruspicus” (a kind of half surgeon/half sorcerer), one of the game’s three playable characters. Arriving in town to a rather unpleasant welcome, the Haruspicus soon finds himself confronted not only by the disease itself, but by a frightened and hostile community who doesn’t recognize the true enemy. The demo begins after being cleared of most of the town’s suspicions, but you’ll need to watch your character’s reputation level, along with his various physical conditions.

(isn’t quoting fun? I’m so boring)

And here’s the Daemonica demo review:

Daemonica closely resembles an RPG in its presentation, but is predominantly a 3D adventure with only a small amount of simple combat. Using a keyboard/mouse combination, Daemonica casts the player in the role of Nicholas Farepoynt, a “Beast Hunter” whose ability to speak with the dead brings him to a small town to investigate the murder of a young woman. There he’ll find the murder is only the beginning of a much darker supernatural mystery.

Hmm, notice how both games have an RPG presentation? Maybe adventure gaming is going to start looking more like RPGs and less like Point ‘n’ Clicks… which kinda sucks, but I guess I can’t complain too much, because… ADVENTURE GAMES ARE AWESOME, YO!

Looks like a bunch of awesome things are happening for adventure gamers. I know I’m excited.

So… without further ado-doo (heh… I said doodoo) I give you the Daemonica demo (400 mb download… youch) and the Pathlogic Demo (700 mb download… super youchy!).
