The Luminous Underground
Strange things are going down in the Underground! Build your team, descend beneath the city streets, and face down horrors with magic in one hand and science in the other. Can you prove to everyone that you’re the best daemon hunter in town? Play Phoebe Barton’s The Luminous Underground, a 660,000-word interactive fiction game and finalist for the 2020 Nebula Award for Best Game Writing, and find out!
It’s been a long time coming, but my game The Luminous Underground is now available through Choice of Games! Step into the boots of a seasoned daemon dissipator as you stumble into a secret war beneath the city streets, discover mysteries left forgotten, and find out how your choices shape the world around you. It’s available from the following storefronts:
Do you have what it takes to fight furious daemons, shoddy gear, and City Hall? Will you help fix the city, or watch as it crumbles?
Just Cause Mobile
Square Enix has scrapped Just Cause Mobile before handing it an official debut.
Chris Kerr, “Square Enix cancels Just Cause Mobile before launch,” GameDeveloper.com
The free-to-play project had been available to download as part of a regional early access rollout, but has now been cancelled.
I’ve been looking forward to announcing my work on Just Cause Mobile for two years now, but some things don’t work out – at least I got paid. My involvement was writing side-quest scripts for twenty-five missions as well as character mini-bios, all of which I will now never see as finished products.
I guess that’s business.
