Lightstep Chronicles is a arrative adventure based on Dark Horse comic series!Check out the release trailer here.Eipix Entertainment is releasing Lightstep Chronicles - an atmospheric narrative adventure that features AI with multiple personality disorder - for the PC today, August 1st 12:00 pm PDT. The mix of a narrative adventure and environmental puzzles will throw players into a strange world already established by Lightstep Chronicles comic series published by Dark Horse comics.
A routine mission fails and Cpt. Cain Phoenix's squad gets abducted by a mysterious spaceship. Their survival relies on his ability to communicate with broken AI with multiple personality disorder. In this text-based adventure, the player will have to choose his answers carefully, as even minor choices might have major consequences. Some will even take the player to certain death.
One of the writers Mladen Levnaic had to say this about the project: "Exploring a broken mind is like looking at your reflection in a shattered mirror. Even though the reflection looks distorted and sinister, you can still recognize your features. Similarly, this game will take you on an intronautic journey. As you learn more about your situation, you will see deeper into the baleful nature of your host. As you learn about yourself, you will begin to understand which branches of human behavior these AIs were meant to emulate, and what this says about their creators. You will stare into an abyss, and I promise, you will feel the abyss staring back." Happy Gaming!
Don't feed the Trolls

Yes, thanks. I gather this is the Eipix that makes casuals. I wonder if this has action elements. If it doesn't, I may try it. Indeed, it is the Eipix that makes casuals. More information about the game from a previous post of Ana's: Lightstep Chronicles is a dark sci-fi text-based adventure where you can explore an ancient spaceship of alien technology and imperial livery, puzzle out its secrets, and communicate with a shady AI host. The game's mechanics are decidedly text-based, set in a highly visual setting. The game consists of text-based dialogue between the player and the ship's AI, point 'n' click puzzles, and animated cutscenes. It follows a linear story about space and transcendence that splits off into several endings, depending on the choices the player makes throughout the game. Lightstep Chronicles is part of an overarching Lightstep Universe, developed by Eipix Entertainment. The whole project consists of the Lightstep Chronicles video game, the Lightstep comic book published by Dark Horse Comics, and The Uncommoner's Gene novel by Ivan Brankovic. Each of them presents a standalone story about a universe where time dilation is used to challenge class oppression. Eipix Entertainment has a long history of making narrative games, including the critically-acclaimed text-based adventure for mobile devices, Lifeline: Whiteout. Lightstep Chronicles is their most ambitious project so far, retaining the narrative quality the company is known for and presenting it in a highly-visual environment.

Interesting, big change from casual.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody Gibran
