20120515adventurer

The Farm 51 debuted its latest game at an event earlier this week, a first person shooter called The Adventurer. The game is set before World War II and stars one Victor “Vic” Chandler, on the hunt for various mythical artefacts. Gameplay seems to be a mixture of linear exploration with lots of secrets, puzzle solving, and gun battles. Although it’s in pre-alpha, The Farm 51 showed off a couple of levels and expects the game to be ready for PC and Xbox 360 release this year, with PlayStation 3 to follow – providing a publisher can be found. GryOnline has the details, in Polish at this stage. The Farm 51 is best known for controversial horror title NecroVision.

Thanks, HedGamer.
