InsideMacGames holds a preview of Geneforge, Spiderweb Software's upcoming RPG. If you like old style CRPG's, this could be for you. Here's a bit:
To play Geneforge is to enter a world of magic, adventure and intrigue. The retro-role playing game casts the player as a Shaper. Shaping is the most powerful and secretive school of magic in this electronic universe. Its members have figured out how to create life, and to mold it and program it according to their needs and whims.
The player is an apprentice newly accepted into the sect, but hasn't learned any Shaper secrets yet. On a boat ride to where he is to begin training, a mysterious ship capsizes the craft and strands him on an island.
The island contains an abandoned and forbidden Shaper settlement. It is populated by serviles, intelligent humanoid Shaper creations, who were left with the settlement and have had the past few centuries to develop their own beliefs. There are also people on the island who are trying to steal the Shaper secrets and learn them on their own.
The player and the party s/he develops has to interact with the serviles on the island, some of whom have come to worship the Shapers as gods, and others who hate them. Players decide which creatures to help and which to crush including whether to stop the outsiders from mastering Shaper secrets, or join them. |
