Black Out

[Pater Alf]

Developer's description:

" "Black Out" is a TDS stealth/horror game that takes place about 200 years in our future...

Humanity has colonised the solar system and established bases on most of the major moons of the gas giants, as well as Mars and Earth´s Moon. This is due to the advances in A.I., nano-technology, and the politically stable system-wide government. This collection of colonies (and Earth itself) is known as The Commonwealth and since it´s beginnings 150 years ago it has brought peace and stability to the human race... Almost. There are still small pockets of dissent and revolution and so The Auditry, a small but powerful department within The Commonwealth government, has its Assessors to quietly and discreetly keep a lid on things.

You play the role of an Assessor about to undertake the toughest assignment of his career... an assignment where you will discover your past, discover the truth about The Auditry, and discover the future planned for the1 5 billion people that currently live in The Commonwealth...

FEATURES
* Customisable Charcter - Choose the name, hair colour and clothes for your player
* Interactive Environment - You can interact with many things in the environment, computers, lockers, boxes, pipe keys etc...
* Different Ways To Play - The game is designed to be played as a straight TDS or as a stealth game
* Profound Plot - Find out about your past, discover the truth about The Commonwealth, change the future of the entire human race...

WEAPONS
* Knife - Good against animals and for stealth kills
* Pistol - Small and only good when you have nothing else!
* Fletchettes - Will put any organic enemies to sleep for a short while
* Beamer - deactivates robots and other electronic enemies
* Shotgun - Good at close range
* Grenade Launcher - Powerful but difficult to aim
* Sniper Rifle - Gives an expanded view and is VERY powerful, but takes a long time to load
* Cryo Canon - This is only good against organic enemies which it freezes. This makes them vulnerable to other attacks" (taken from the official homepage)

It's a little hard to get into this game as you have to get used to the controls, but when you master them you get rewarded with a pretty good game. Very atmospheric!
