News Story
First Insecticide episode available for download
Friday, 04 Jul 2008 10:08
Players take control of the pun-friendly Chrys Liszt in Insecticide
Gamecock announced today the release of the first part of Crackpot Entertainment’s Insecticide for the PC.
The game, for those of you unaware of its existence, is a noir thriller set in an insect-controlled world that features both action and adventure levels.
"Seeing Insecticide’s stylized noir visuals and quirky, oddball humor on the PC really bring the gameplay to life," said Rick Stults, console chief for Gamecock.
"The first episode is big enough to really keep gamers glued to the story, having fun, and really getting absorbed into the bug world."
The press release blurb describes the game thusly:
"In a city overtaken by a sudden crime wave, rookie detective Chrys Liszt is on a crusade to rid the city of lowlifes.
"However, she immediately discovers that to reach her goal she will have to face the city of Troi’s most powerful criminal entities.
"Using only high tech pollen-based weapons, innate bug abilities, and hand-to-hand combat skills, Chrys must clean up Troi as well as learn more about her own past, which remains shrouded in mystery."
Insecticide: Part One is available to download now for around a tenner.
