On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness

Shoonay · 12 November 2008, 09:50

Here's a cool game, with a great 2D in 3D (

) humorous cartoony style, somewhat a combination of a point 'n' click adventure (linear story, dialogue, inventory) and... RPG's (fighting, levelup and upgrade system).
Currently there are 2 episodes in the series, full of fun, wacky items, strange collectibles, mysteries, mini-games and humor.

The 1st episode came out in May and the 2nd one in October of 2008.

On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is an RPG-Adventure game set in the comic-book-meets-pulp-horror-meets-H.P. Lovecraft deranged 1920s universe of New Arcadia, delivering mature and compelling entertainment to gamers via accessible episodic delivery.

Players join Gabe and Tycho, the crime-solving team of the Startling Developments Detective Agency, to combat savage enemies and solve mysteries hidden deep in the sinister heart of New Arcadia. The ominous 1920s landscape features distinct artwork and characters designed exclusively by Krahulik and brought to life by the Hothead team.

PS: Be aware though, the game didn't get 18+ rating just for fun, there is a lot of swearing, violence, some blood and... robots fucking oranges...

(don't ask... just try it!

Hey! It's Penny Arcade, should be good. *rubs hands*

Very nice that they made another (among few) triple platform release.

Yeah, it's a really good game especially for an adventure & jrpg's fan like humble old moi.
It has this hilarious action with the juicer-machine "doing" the orange - you guys just *have to* see that!
