Lone Survivor: Director's Cut makes well-timed jump to PC, Mac on Halloween
Superflat Games' spooky survival-horror adventure, Lone Survivor: Director's Cut, is set to grace the PC and Mac on October 31 – just in time for Halloween. In Lone Survivor, the world has been ravaged by disease and, playing as a nameless protagonist in a surgical mask, you must avoid monsters and scavenge for supplies. In a blog post, creator Jasper Byrne says the updated version of the game will be available as a free download to anyone who has already picked up the game. The blog post adds that save files from the original game will be compatible with Director's Cut, so you can start in one version of the game and continue in the other. In order to ease some of the financial strain as a result of developing this new version of the game for ten months, Superflat Games will determine a new price point for Director's Cut when it launches on Halloween. Lone Survivor: Director's Cut will be available through the official website, Good Old Gaming and other digital distribution channels.
'Lone Survivor Director's Cut' brings creepy survival to PS3, Vita today
Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut isn't just a port of the 2012 survival horror game for PC and Mac – it's a completely revamped experience with new locations, items, music, trophies and dialogue, and two brand new endings, among many other updates. It's out today as a Cross Buy, Cross Play title for PS3 and Vita, for $13. Lone Survivor is Jasper Byrne's psychological survival adventure game that allows players to choose the method of their madness: Shoot everything that goes bump in the dark or sneak around quietly to escape the ravaged city; stay healthy with food or pills; seek out other survivors or go it alone. The Director's Cut will launch on PC and Mac, via Steam and the game's store, as soon as Byrne completes the port. "It will be out as soon as I can physically do it," Byrne says. "It will take time as it's not a simple port, but it is my next priority and I will have more news about this soon."
Lone Survivor delayed to September
Point-and-click survival horror game Lone Survivor has been delayed to September, Curve Studios announced via Twitter. The game's designer, Jasper Byrne, recently noted that Curve Studios' port of the game to PS3 and Vita has led to "hundreds of tiny little changes and improvements." It was originally planned to arrive on Sony's consoles this summer. Since the game "has a lot of new hidden, dark corners" and "even looks and sounds pretty different," Byrne said the PS3 and Vita version will be known as Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut. Curve Studios said it would "rather release an amazing game later than a good game early."
Lone Survivor finds friends on PS3 and Vita this summer
Lone Survivor is making a break for PS3 and Vita this summer, featuring two new locations and sidequests, new NPC dialogue, more than 20 fresh items, and a new ending, all initially exclusive to Sony consoles. Lone Survivor will support Cross Buy, Cross Play and Trophies.From developer Jasper Byrne, Lone Survivor is a blend of psychological horror, point-and-click adventure and survival simulation, starring a man in a city brimming with disease and monstrous creatures. While those circumstances are terrifying enough, the protagonist questions how much of what he sees is even real, taking players on a deep mental journey as they battle the physical demons."I wanted to try and make a role-playing game with meaningful choices," Byrne writes on his Superflat Games blog. "It's an experiment in making every insignificant fact in the game having an invisible, or murkily visible effect on your outcome, however small."Byrne is looking into touch control for inventory management and movement, and any features that can make the PSN version "enhanced in every way, smoother, nicer to control." Lone Survivor launched on PC and Mac in March 2012 and Byrne announced the Sony versions in November.
Lone Survivor migrating to PS3 and Vita
Lone Survivor, the side-scrolling survival-horror game from developer Superflat Games, is coming to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, creator Jasper Byrne has revealed. After months of being stranded on the PC and Mac, Curve Studios will rebuild the entire code base from scratch to bring Lone Survivor to Sony's gaming platforms.Curve Studios is the London-based house responsible for Fluidity and Explodemon, the latter of which is a quaint retro-inspired game that shows the studio has chops when it comes to pumping out the pixels. No release date on the PlayStation versions has been revealed, but Byrne says he'll offer updates through his Twitter account as progress is made.
'Lone Survivor' begins its solitary existence on PC and Mac
From Soul Brother developer Superflat Games comes a much more somber side-scroller. Lone Survivor is about just that: a guy in a surgical mask who is the only known survivor of some unspecified disease. As he tries to escape from the desolate city, he must sneak past, fight, or otherwise deal with a series of threats that he's not even sure are real! If isolation-induced hysteria sounds like your idea of a good time, you can try Lone Survivor for free on Kongregate, and then buy it on both PC and Mac for $10.
Let Adult Swim's 'Soul Brother' possess your browser
Adult Swim continues to be a venue for brilliantly weird browser games from indie talent, following up games like Robot Unicorn Attack and Cream Wolf with Soul Brother, by Superflat Games (developer of the Silent Hill 2 demake Soundless Mountain II). The beautifully pixel-illustrated Soul Brother gives you control of a variety of creatures with different abilities, all controlled by killing your current host body and then inhabiting the new one as a ghost. Each body has a skill that can be used to pass certain obstacles in the Metroidvania-esque game, like flight or double-jumping. While you're at Adult Swim, we also encourage you to check out Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars by Auntie Pixelante, probably our favorite maze game about slavery.
