Boryokudan Rue is the almost unpronounceable name of a single man (Joshua Nuernberger), nominated for the IGF 2010. Promising between 4 and 8 hours of gameplay we'll get one kick-ass old-school point-and-click adventure with action sequences (remember the Indiana Jones series by LucasArts?), including the always "kick" action. What else may we ask?
The game is going to be finally released as a commercial title (the author admits he's been beating the bush for some time already) but there's no official date scheduled yet.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=da1488c7-9df1-417c-a85c-a907e23895f4)
Well, a decent story would probably be nice, and it seems we're going to get it for sure. The game features two different plots that will merge at some points; quoting the official info:
First, you play as Azriel Odin, a regretful cop en route to planet Barracus to meet and extract a mysterious defector trying to escape from the notorious crime gruop, the Boryokudan. Second, you play as Delta-Six, an amnesiac patient in a sterilized facility, who must survive and escape in order to find out why he is there.
The first teaser has been released so you all can appreciate the marvelous hand-drawn artwork and graphic effects pushing the Adventure Game Engine to the limit. The techno-noir OST that will accompany us throughout the game has been composed by Nathan Allen Pinard.
