Lace Mamba Global to publish indie 3D action adventure game Lifeless Planet
Brighton/San Francisco, March 06th, in the year of our
Lord 2012 – During the Cold War, billions of Dollars
and Rubles were pumped into numerous space missions, achieving
extraordinary science milestones, and climaxing in the success
of multiple moon missions. But was that really as far as mankind
could reach? What if someone secretly and successfully sent a
manned mission to a distant world? What if the Soviet Union
achieved much more than we have been lead to believe?
Lifeless Planet is a new 3D PC action adventure, independently
developed by David Board and Alaska-based Stage 2 Studios and to
be published world-wide by Lace Mamba Global in Q4 2012. The
game puts players in the moon-boots of a volunteer astronaut on
a one-way mission to a life-bearing planet far outside our solar
system. But after a rough landing, the promise of a new Earth
soon fades with the discovery that the planet he was to explore
is now barren and inhospitable.
Alone in this wasteland, his fellow astronauts missing and his
oxygen tank leaking, the astronaut's situation turns desperate.
He begins to explore the planet for his missing crew
members...only to discover a deeper mystery: an abandoned
Soviet-era laboratory. Was his mission a hoax? Is this really an
extra-solar planet or has he been shuttled to a lonely region of
Siberia as part of a deceptive propaganda stunt?
Soon his quest for answers becomes a fight for survival as he
learns this land is not as lifeless as it first appeared... when
a mysterious young woman saves him from a strange and deadly
phenomenon. Is she a hallucination? Is she really an ally? And
is this all just a grand lie, or did he uncover a Cold War
secret...twenty light-years from Earth?
Lifeless Planet began as a pure indie development, funded by an
overwhelmingly successful Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign.
Lace Mamba Global signed the publishing rights for this exciting
project, to support realizing a global digital and retail
release in Q4 2012.
More details on Lifeless Planet will be announced soon.
