After the success of Afterfall: InSanity on Steam Greenlight,
Nicolas Games and IntoXicate Studios are proud to announce a new
chapter in the history of the Afterfall world. This time we will
travel into more 'distant future' –
63 years after Day Zero. And we will do it three times.
What is the Pearl of the Wasteland?
A search of ones own identity, legendary City of Wonders and
roots of civilization in the world destroyed by war. Every
character in game imagines Pearl as something different; for some
it is a lost treasury filled with unimaginable wealth, for others
last bastion of humanity where life thrives just like it did before
the Day Zero. There is more than a few visions of the Pearl of the
Wasteland in the game what evokes in a player a sense of something
fugitive, elusive, almost mythical. Pearl of the Wasteland is
humanity in times when civilization is but a distant memory. On the
barren wastelands where survival is the only thing that matters,
the last treasure that almost no one can afford is to remain
human.
Three episodes, three heroes, three paths...
Every soul perceives Pearl as something different –we want
to present the same story as told by three different heroes with
different motivations, experience and desires. Players be able to
control three different characters whose paths might cross at
certain points. Although they will share a similar goal, the road,
just like the Pearlitself, is unique for Reaper, Hope Iriv and
Rottgar Iriv.
Every episodewill take around 1,5-2 hours to finish.
