Focus Home Interactive announces Bound by Flame, an upcoming action/role-playing game that's currently in development at Spiders Studio, even as the developer wraps up work on the imminent Mars War Log. They say Bound By Flame is a larger game than Mars War Log, and it has been in development for a couple of months now, and they plan a on release for Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 by the end of the year. They offer a single screenshot from the game, and here's a bit:

We present Bound by Flame to you with the very first screenshot of the game. This action/role-playing game lets you play a mercenary possessed by a flame demon in an ambitious Dark Fantasy universe. As a victim of this demonic influence, players will have to choose between the powers offered by this evil or to reject the demonic influence, developing heroic talents instead. Dangers, and enemies becoming more terrifying and fearsome in battle, will be temptations to acquire more power by giving up part of the hero's soul to the demon. Progression of the demonic influence will be reflected by the transformation of the hero's body.
