Backwoods Entertainment is a small indie game development team based in Germany. It is a team of three guys (Marcus, Matthias and Tristan) with a passion for story-based video games and the talent to turn that passion into reality. They’ve joined forces with Application Systems Heidelberg and will release their first major project on May 24th.

Unforeseen Incidents is a classic 2D point-and-click adventure that combines hand-painted artwork with an original soundtrack and professional voiceovers. Add in a cast of characters, a dark conspiracy, and a hero who is a “regular guy” and you have the makings of a game that I am looking forward to playing. The story opens when handyman Harper Pendrell stumbles upon a dying woman. This leads him to a deeper mystery involving a deadly disease and a conspiracy with global consequences. Armed only with his trusty “multi-tool,” Harper sets off on a dangerous journey to save humanity.

The question remains… Can he stay healthy long enough to triumph over evil? Or, will he be another casualty of the epidemic? We’ll have to wait until May 24th to find out!

Unforeseen Incidents is currently available to add to your Steam wish list. You can also pre-order (at a discount) by visiting the Backwoods Entertainment web site.

Cindy’s love affair with gaming began when she opened a mailbox in front of a white house and took the first step in a long series of adventures. ‘Back in the day,’ Cindy was a regular contributor to JA and an active member of the online gaming community. She has attended several E3s and has had the pleasure of spending time in person with both Ray and Randy. Her all- time favorite adventures include the Tex Murphy series, the Gabriel Knight series, and The Longest Journey. She also enjoys RPGs and her list of ‘best ever’ includes Fallout, Asheron’s Call, and Planescape Torment. Â Frustrated with the cost of rising PC system requirements, Cindy decided to switch to console and tablet gaming. Although you can teach some old dogs new tricks, she discovered that console controller dexterity is a skill set that she is lacking. Her results with tablet gaming were not much better. With the exception of a few gems such as The Room and Forever Lost, there is a limit to how much one can play Candy Crush and Hidden Object Adventures. Having proved that pure escapism is worth the investment, she has a new gaming laptop and is back to her search for the perfect adventure. Â After spending most of her life in Los Angeles and Atlanta, Cindy escaped the stress of urban life and moved to rural Arkansas. To show that she has become a true Arkansan, she has taken up deer hunting, wears pink camo, and put a chicken coop in her backyard. On a stressful day, she can be heard yelling ‘Woo Pig Sooie’ when all else fails.
