Powered by the Unreal 3 Engine, TopWare Interactive's latest game is coming in Q3 2010 and is titled
Scivelation. Your guess is as good as mine in trying to pronounce it.
Take a look at these bullet points: white-knuckled game play, post-apocalyptic, influenced by the works of Orwell, Milton, and Dante. How awesome does that sound? If that doesn't do it for you, here is the story as told by the official press release:
Human civilization as we know it has ended at the hands of religious zealots desperate to bring about the Apocalypse. What remains of society has been homogenized into a single culture, to be governed by the Regime - a theocratic, worldwide government intent to rob mankind of its most meaningful symbols. A scattered front of old believers, named heretics by the Regime, have resorted to violent mobilization in order to carve out a niche where they might survive unmolested, and in the midst of this turmoil are Dr. Elisha Amano, a disgruntled Regime scientist who helped develop a paradigm-shifting, post-human supervirus; and Mikhail Ivanov, a cyborg and former member of the Russian special forces who was divested of his humanity fighting in the End Times.
I am already getting hyped for it as this type of story is right up my alley. 2010 is going to be a fabulous year for gamers.
