<br>Earth 476. A.H.E.F. (After Human Empire Foundation): the Future?
<br>
<br>Etrom is an epic adventure that will take you into a dark future where warring societies are divided not just by walls, but also by laws, secrets, religions and the terrifying Void Lands. In a world with fantastic technologies, people will find their future in ancient civilizations governed by mysterious hidden energies.
<br>
<br>Etrom leads you across realms and cities, through democracies and “nazi” dictatorships. It is a journey through space-time portals, amongst the Thrones of the Abyss, and beyond the gates of the City of Light. With a huge number of locations, and settings it plunges you into a world of rituals, fraught with secret-service plots and held together by dark spells.
<br>
<br>Etrom is an endless journey with AND against demons, secret divinities, dragons, mechs, hovertanks, different races and intelligent entities from across space and time…From a brooding world of megacities you will set out across many dimensions and realities to face men and gods projected into the absolute infinity.</em></blockquote> |

It will also be available on TotalGaming.Net soon - they have a friendly system with no DRM to worry about.
@ToddMcF2002 - how far did you do with the demo? I played a press demo a while back but this one is different. I keep getting wiped out by the mech on the first level as I head for the sewer entrance...it's probably not that hard but not being able to save before you've had the chance to play with and understand the system is plain stupid. It amazes me how often developers put players off side with basic stuff.

indeed.
Very strange atmosphere.
I totally love this song from the game: "EtromHouse.ogg" (resides in: "ETROM_DEMO\sounds\Music")
its so... eternal
when i hear it i always have to think about this quote from bladerunner about the tannhauser gate.
they somehow fit together. it creates a feeling of the vast space which is out there right now in this moment, was there and will always be there.
<shudder> Where was i?
Also: is this song or at least the theme of the song copied from somewhere? it sounds familiar... |

Excellent - three immediate choices, very nice. And I agree with the assessment of the demo. As tedious as it is, the idea of the demo including the tutorial, such as NWN, helps players get more value from the experience, rather than just randomly dying without the ability to save until you learn how to succeed.
