More Interactive Fiction games coming to our favorite System 7 Macs soon :-)

Publisher poly.play plans to release two new adventures all in a very nice box with goodies for 68k Macs (as well as for Amiga, C64 etc.)

The two games are written by Marco Innocenti, who is a well-known author in the IF worlds.

A1RLØCK
Quote from: website
A1RLØCK takes the path of in media res narrative to propose a game halfway between horror and science fiction, where the player discovers the story one step at a time, solving puzzles and exporing a laboratory station ravaged by destruction.

In a desperate attempt not to lose hope and find a way out of this hell, Chloe, the little girl protagonist of A1RLØCK, will first have to save her own skin and in the meantime give answers to a mystery that deepens at every turn.

Where is the station where Chloe is held captive? What caused the disaster that made the structure unsafe? Who are the people calling her from the intercom and what are their intentions? And finally, what is the terrible secret that is hidden down here, over two thousand meters below sea level?

Order it here (35€) (modern browser needed)


THE RUIN OF ØCEANUS PR1ME
Quote from: website
THE RUIN OF ØCEANUS PR1ME kicks off after the events narrated in A1RLØCK (also published by poly.play) and offers us a new point of view on the story, as well as a whole new adventure.

On a mission for a mysterious organization and a member of a mercenary special recovery team, Colonel JT Thomas descends to the depths of an alien sea … only to find nothing.

Suspended in the infinite black at two thousand meters of depth he will have to find his way inside the disaster of Oceanus Prime, the nefarious underwater station scene of the events of A1RLØCK and the adventures of the special little girl Chloe. His mission: find the unidentified specimen 73Jon and bring it back to base, whatever the cost.

In a desolate landscape he will have to make his way through obscene laboratories and monstrous creatures, all while trying not to lose his humanity and indulge in nightmares deeper than himself.

Tried to order from their site, but their webscripts won't compute under Firefox. Not good programming to be so selective.

Update: Had to switch to Chrome to complete the purchase. That shopping cart is way too selective in the browsers it runs on. Not everyone has Chrome or even wants to have it.

I think I was able to order through Firefox ... maybe some script / ad blocker got in the way?

Anyway, what did you order, if I may ask? :)

Both of 'em of course. I think the darn site "objected" to my Javascript version, because it just wouldn't acknowledge my choice in the "Federal State" drop down listbox.

I truly dislike websites that are so full of tricks, they stumble over themselves.
