Daedalic Entertainment announces
FIRE, a comedic adventure game set
during the stone age coming to Windows and OS X on January 6th with an iPad
release to follow. This is available for pre-purchase
on Steam for 10% off, and
the page includes screenshots and trailers to give a look at what to expect.
Here's word:
FIRE uses an intuitive game design to tell a story without
words! By following the adventures of Ungh the Neanderthal, players will have to
master the trickiest task of the Stone Age… finding fire.
As Ungh, it’s up to you to explore the colorful world of FIRE and to solve all
puzzles in the most creative ways possible. Always helpful are the quirky
creatures of this unique Stone Age setting: why not using a mammoth and its
trunk to shoot a coconut? Be it mammoths, bats or dinosaurs – FIRE’s colorful
Stone Age world is inhabited by all kinds of useful and entertaining wildlife.
A key part of the story, of course, is the slightly clumsy (yet highly comedic)
Neanderthal Ungh, who’s also our hero. Ungh starts out as you’d expect – a bit
dopey and very unlucky, and unfortunately, he’s let his village’s bonfire burn
out during his watch. Now he has to get a new flame, which sets him on a quest
to explore every corner of his prehistoric world. Be it a jungle, veldt or the
inside of a volcano – no place is safe from Ungh.
The urge to explore has no limits in FIRE -- a click on every object triggers a
reaction from Ungh or his surroundings – and with a bit of logic players can get
closer to the puzzle’s solution. For example, some locations can be visited at
day and night – a click on the sun or the moon is enough to change the time of
the day, which not only influences the lighting conditions, but also the
behavior of the creatures. Diurnal monsters will sleep at night, others will
wake up or show themselves only when it’s dark. Taking the time of day into
account is just one of the many keys to making the most of Ungh’s adventures!
FIRE will be available worldwide on January 6th, 2014 for PC and Mac for
9.99US$/ 9.99€/ 7.99£/ 399 RUR on all major online stores.
