Just Adventure is honored to present these exclusive, never-before-seen screenshots from WM (working title), the newest adventure release in progress from Pietro Montelatici and his crew from the Italian-based Trecision. Pietro previously produced Dead of Night, Ark of Time and Nightlong, a game many in North America are just now playing. If you think these shots are impressive, then keep in mind that lightmaps and shadows have not yet been applied to the environment.
WM is a real-time-rendered 3D adventure/action game that will support both the mouse and the keyboard. It will employ both a third- and first-person point of view that will allow your characters to climb, push and swim, not to mention object interaction that will allow for advanced inventory manipulation.
That’s correct, I said characters. You will be able to control two main and independent protagonists, Dr. Darrell Boone or Victoria Conroy, both with their own unique abilities and emotions. Each can follow a different path as he or she explores the digital reconstruction of an Austrian castle. Inaccessible and long-forgotten areas of the castle must be thoroughly investigated, and numerous supporting nonplayer characters will be following their own agendas inside the castle walls as they help or hinder your quest.
Dr. Boone is a scientist specializing in paranormal activity, and Victoria Conroy is a young, ambitious lawyer whose job it is to oversee Dr. Boone’s research–the Ley Lines. The Ley Lines are a new and incredibly powerful energy source leading to the unknown roads of the dead. Dr. Boone has grown suspicious of his mysterious client’s interest in the Ley Lines, and his apprehension will soon lead to the ultimate quest for power and truth.
A paranormal plot, 3D indoor and outdoor locations with motion capture and real-time shadows and the inclusion of full-motion video make WM a game to keep an eye on. Based on Trecision’s track record, WM is in good hands. This is a game that will be a must-have for any true adventure gamer.
