There's another opportunity to get a free copy of
CONSORTIUM: The
Master Edition through GOG.com as developer Interdimensional Games is
giving the game way to inspire support for their
CONSORTIUM: The Tower Kickstarter to fund a sequel. The game is free for
the next 48 hours, and those who already own the game there can receive a code
to give it to a friend as a gift. Here's the plan:
Did you feel that? The
iDGi-1 satellite has just opened another rift in time and space. And during this
fortunate disturbance, GOG.com and Interdimensional Games Inc. joined forces and
managed to secure a 48-hour time-pocket within which we can distribute as many
FREE CONSORTIUM: The Master Edition copies as we like all over Earth! But this
disturbance was triggered by another, equally interesting event: CONSORTIUM: The
Tower, the sequel to the choice-driven sci-fi simulation, is on Kickstarter and
you can help it become a reality with your support! So grab your free GOG copy
before February 13, 1:59 PM GMT and then go for a tour through CONSORTIUM: The
Tower. Or go at it the other way around. As within the games, the choice is
entirely up to you.
The original CONSORTIUM was an innovative exercise in player agency through a
procedurally-unfolding story. The experiment was a success and now
Interdimensional Games Inc. hope to take it to the next level with CONSORTIUM:
The Tower. This time, global peacekeeper Bishop Six finds himself in London,
2042, where a massive skyscraper has been taken over by terrorists while a
snowstorm rages outside. Your job is to infiltrate the building, neutralize the
perpetrators, and rescue the hostages in any way you see fit. Direct action,
stealth, negotiation, sabotage - they are all viable options as the story will
constantly change and adapt to your playstyle. The developers describe the
experience as a blend between the original Deus-Ex and Die Hard. We'll hold them
hostage to that promise!
