Platform:

Your name is Rook. You’re rudely awakened when the orbital prison facility in which you reside crashes on the ruins of an abandoned Earth.

After recruiting a group of other survivors including a hacker called Jin, you must struggle to stay alive, faced with prisoners who aren’t so friendly not to mention bizarre parasitic extra-dimensional creatures that haunt the planet.

At its core, Wanderer is a cinematic platformer. However, it’s enhanced with mechanics and ideas from other genres: old-school JRPGs, Bioware-style Western RPGs, classic point-and-click adventures and Telltale-style narrative experiences. This will make for a unique, story-driven adventure RPG with a distinctive visual aesthetic that merges lo-res pixel art characters with a hand-painted world.

Wanderer is being developed by just two people — Cris Ripamonti (Concept, Art, Design, Writing) and Serge Lages (Programming, Design) — collectively known as Red Cloak. The game is slated to be released in September 2016 for PC/Windows, Mac and Linux.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
