Phoenix Online Publishing announces they are now accepting preorders for Moebius: Empire Rising, the upcoming Windows and OS X paranormal thriller from Gabriel Knight creator Jane Jensen, which coincides with the release of a new demo for the game. Like U.S. income taxes, Moebius is due on April 15th, and those who order between now and then get a 20% discount. The download link on the Moebius page doesn't work, but the Windows demo can be downloaded here while the OS X demo is here. Here's a refresher on the game:

Set in Cairo, the Moebius demo introduces players to Malachi Rector, a prickly antiques dealer with a genius for history. After the U.S. government expresses an unusual interest in his talent for analyzing historical artifacts and people, Malachi unexpectedly finds his life in danger. Can he trust David Walker -- a former Special Forces operative he meets randomly in the desert -- to protect him? Or is David involved in the very plot that has masked assassins hunting Malachi around the globe?
