Falling Dark 2: Relapse - A dark adventure game with RPG elements

[FransisKransis]

Greetings. It's that time of the year again for me to share what I've been up to in AGS, so here goes. As an indirect sequel to my last release, Falling Dark, this game again features heavy RPG elements and combat that have been nicely blended into the usual 'Point and Click' puzzle solving. Also, if it wasn't obvious from the title, this game is not rated by the ESRB, but if it were, it would be a hard M due to a plethora of adult themes.

The box-blurb thing is thus:

"The year is 2000. The tech-driven corporate culture of America is working on never-before seen levels of production and influence. But while the cores of the city burn brighter than ever, threads continue to loosen at the seams.

Busy streets strain under the weight of a strong gubernatorial race, steeped in controversy. Displaced underground communities turn to violent fetishes, soaked in blood. And of all things, the trail of a serial killer hangs in the night air. The coverage of which never seems to leave the mouth of the 24 hour news cycle.

In the midst of all this, is Taylor. An ex-con, an occasional detective, a modern gunfighter, and a parent.

But Taylor is an analog soul, in an increasingly digital world..."


Falling Dark 2: Relapse is a point and click adventure game with RPG elements, featuring:

• Branching narrative paths based on choices and skills.
• A smooth blend of 'Point and Click' puzzle solving and combat.
• Dozens of hidden side-quests and encounters.
• And a rich original soundtrack, fusing metal and jazz.


So, if that sounds interesting to you, please do check it out.

Awesome, I'm very interested to hear your thoughts. I tried to polish up a lot of the mechanics from the first game.

I enjoy the game so far. I think I found a minor bug:

Spoiler

At the hotel, after I kill Christian and turn on ventilation, if I look at the breaker panel then Christian comes back with his axe.
