Neo-Noir Adventure Game 'Gemini Rue' Launching in February
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 11, 2011 4:00pm PST
The three great tastes of neo-noir, sci-fi and adventure games will come together on February 24 with the launch of indie developer Joshua Nuernberger's Gemini Rue, publisher Wadjet Eye Games confirmed today.
Set in a dystopian future, Gemini Rue alternates between two characters--an ex-assassin seeking a defector and a hospital inmate who's been brain-wiped. The game seemed well worth keeping an eye on when I got to play a bit last year, plus it was a finalist in the 2010 Independent Games Festival Student Showcase, then named 'Boryokudan Rue.'
The downloadable edition of Gemini Rue can be pre-ordered for $14.99. A $24.99 CD edition with the MP3 soundtrack and "professional packaging" is also on offer; it won't ship until March but will give access to the downloadable edition when that launches.
Comments
The only criticism I have in the trailer is the character animations seem a little stiff, given the range of possibilities for 2D art.
