Penny Arcade

Hothead Games releases the Penny Arcade branded title! From the minds behind the Penny Arcade online comic comes a cross RPG-adventure platform game which includes Linux support from day one. This pulp-horror themed game, entitled On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One (gotta love the name), uses electronic distribution, with anticipation of future episodes. Ron Gilbert, of Monkey Island and Manic Mansion fame, put his efforts into this title, too.

Key Features:

• >> Create-a-Player System lets you design and develop your own character, seeing it come to life in 3D and in the comic-style 2D cut scenes

• >> Dynamic turn-based combat system, over-the-top animations, and team-up moves during enemy battles
  
• >> Classic adventure game play combines with RPG elements to unravel the game's mysteries and puzzles
  
• >> Authentic Penny Arcade story and dialogue written exclusively by Jerry Holkins
  
• >> Includes Gabe, Tycho, Annarchy, the Fruit F*cker and many other favorite Penny Arcade characters, plus new characters designed by Mike Krahulik
