Restless is on hold, but Viperante is alive and kicking! Here's the press release: Skipton, North Yorkshire, UK (28th November 2007) - UK based games developer Viperante is proud to announce production of their brand new adventure game: "Corrosion: Cold winter Waiting" for PC, and the launch of the game's official website.
About "Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting" Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting is a dark, shocking, uncompromising, and fear charged horror adventure game, that casts the player in the role of Sheriff Alex Truman as he attempts to break the monotony of life by piecing together the history and origins of a disturbed and unidentified car crash victim.
Set entirely underneath an idyllic country farmhouse, in the deserted and claustrophobic confines of a mysterious and secret underground complex, players will explore a place nobody knew existed, and uncover a twisted past that gets more and more terrifying with every corner turned, every door opened, and every note read.
What happened beneath Cold Winter Farm? What does it have to do with the stranger, who survived a terrible crash, only to sit and mutter the farm's name? And if the place is supposed to be deserted, what do you keep seeing out of the corner of your eye?
Backed by atmospheric pre-rendered 3D scenes, and a chilling yet beautiful score, Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting weaves a tangled and brutal tale of love, revenge, jealousy, and bitter rivalry to create a horror experience that will bring new meaning to the concepts of hope and trust, and leave you questioning whether what you know, is really what you know!
Key Features: - A vast and detailed storyline - Engaging and realistic characters - Puzzles integrated logically into the story - A large and exciting location with many secrets - 1st person style interface and control system - 1024 x 768 screen resolution - Detailed and atmospheric pre-rendered 3D backgrounds - An original and emotive score
Production on Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting has been underway for more than six months, and the projected release date is August 2008.

Looks a bit sparse but interesting. I did want to peek into the Joe's pizza box to see what kind it was.  I like the storyline....sounds good. Ana

I think I will pass on this one, too many dark/ghosty/horror games being produced these days. Its hard for me to believe people need all this stuff in their lives. How about more humor and/or just some good old adventure stuff without the darkness. Kay
Its one of those doors that needs a thingy thing.

In my humble opinion I agree with Rice burner there's just too many "horror" games being released.
I'll probably pass on this one too.

Surely there can never be too many horror games. I don't think there are nearly enough.  Dan.

Hopefully we won't have to wait for winter to immerse ourselves in the new Viperante game, Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting. Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting is a dark, shocking, uncompromising, and fear charged horror adventure game, that casts the player in the role of Sheriff Alex Truman as he attempts to break the monotony of life by piecing together the history and origins of a disturbed and unidentified car crash victim.
Set entirely underneath an idyllic country farmhouse, in the deserted and claustrophobic confines of a mysterious and secret underground complex, players will explore a place nobody knew existed, and uncover a twisted past that gets more and more terrifying with every corner turned, every door opened, and every note read.
What happened beneath Cold Winter Farm? What does it have to do with the stranger, who survived a terrible crash, only to sit and mutter the farm's name? And if the place is supposed to be deserted, what do you keep seeing out of the corner of your eye?
Backed by atmospheric pre-rendered 3D scenes, and a chilling yet beautiful score, Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting weaves a tangled and brutal tale of love, revenge, jealousy, and bitter rivalry to create a horror experience that will bring new meaning to the concepts of hope and trust, and leave you questioning whether what you know, is really what you know! Clicik here for screenshots. The Storyline Deacon Oaks is a small and quiet town, where nothing bad ever happens. Sheriff Alex Truman has a peaceful life dealing with lost dogs, trivial disputes, and a few drunks here and there. He should be the happiest lawman in the world. But there's just one small part of him that longs for some excitement, for something that would break the monotony he doesn't even realise is eating him alive.
One cold November night it seems his unspoken wishes may have been granted when he's involved in a car accident with a man who appears suddenly in the middle of the road. Alex is fine, but the man ends up in hospital with a broken leg, and several cracked ribs. Nobody knows who this guy is or where he has come from, and to make matters worse, he won't speak. Finally the town has its first real mystery, and Alex is overjoyed. But that joy is to be short lived.
With no way of finding out the man's identity, he's moved to the local state mental health facility, and life in Deacon Oaks goes back to normal, until two months later when Alex gets a call informing him that the "road guy" has at last spoken. Three words were all he would say - "Cold Winter Farm, Cold Winter Farm, Cold Winter Farm", over and over again.
Alex has no idea what it means, but he does know that Cold Winter Farm is on the edge of town, and that's good enough. The mystery is back, and Alex wants to get to the bottom of it right away. Problem is, the biggest storm in fifty years is heading towards town - he'll never make it out to the farm and back before the storm hits. But Alex doesn't care - something deep inside is driving him - he has to know who the "road guy" is, and he has to know now. Abandoning all rational thought and ignoring the warnings of his deputy, he grabs the keys to the 4x4 and heads out.
Ten minutes after he arrives at the farm, the storm is so out of control, that it uproots a tree, which falls onto the house, crushing the roof, and trapping him in the basement. That's not all though. The fallen tree has opened up a hidden doorway, which leads to a secret corridor. At the end of the corridor is an elevator, and the only place it can go is down. With no chance of being rescued until the next day, and with the overpowering need to find answers drowning out the fear he feels, Alex decides to take the elevator down.
But what will be waiting for him at the bottom? Will it explain the origins and identity of the "road guy"? Will it explain why the "road guy" was walking in the middle of the road, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the freezing winter? Will it explain why he wouldn't speak for two months? And if it does, will the answers be simple, or will they be ultimately more disturbing and terrifying than anyone could imagine?
The game is expected to release at the end of summer/ early fall 2009. For more info, please visit Tri Synergy. (Thanks Greyfuss for the headsup) Ana

Oh good, I remember being interested when it was first announced but then it kind of disappeared from my radar because of the lack of information. Kind of assumed it had been cancelled.
I'll be back, one day, when I feel like it.

Well, this game seems to be finally arriving, and it looks very interesting, I must say!
Right you are, Dan! I like the "mystery" aspect really, more than the 'horror' aspect of darker games like this one. This game does certainly seem to have that element of "mystery" that will draw you in to find out more and more.
That was the main reason why I liked "Overclocked" so much. Although not really a "horror" game, the tension of "wanting to know" drew you on right to the end of the game.

Hi greatsmitty -- first person means that you are viewing the environments as though YOU are the character. Examples of first person games are the original Myst and Riven, Darkfall The Journal and Aura.
Third person games are games in which you are viewing and controlling a character. Examples would be the Monkey Island games, the Kings Quest games, Ankh, Syberia.
There are a few games that let you switch between first and third person perspectives, like Uru and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Remastered.
