In case you're not still aware of it, Sleep is Death, by Jason Rohrer (Passage), may be the next big thing. This two-player (and only two-player) storytelling game follows a very original formula. While one player plays the main character, the other one is in charge of -the rest- of the game. Everything! You may be thinking of something like the DM client for Neverwinter Nights or Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption, and I guess you'd be correct to a certain point. The possibilities, however, are a bit wider here. Plus, the more you play (and, especially, the more you play with different people) the more stuff you'll be able to do. Why? Because all the stuff created for one game is carried with you to the next one. A bit like Animal Crossing, when your character appears in someone else's console.The game is already available for pre-order for just $9. If you're interested, just check Sleep is Death's official webpage!

Only for the Asians, of course, as the game was shut down more than a year ago in Europe and America.

Hanbisoft, the developers running the game currently for the Asian market (as Hellgate: Resurrection) have just released the following teaser of the expansion that will see the light during 2010.



It's a bit sad to remember the rise and fall of this game, and how it didn't manage to keep any of the different market shares it was aiming too. Somehow I feel nostalgic (I played the game for a while) and can but wonder how's the game doing in the other side of the world. Apparently not that bad, if it's still getting love.
