Indie UDK-built "Portal-style" FPS for PC.
Developer: RAW Games (UK)
Release Date: 2011

Trailer:

Quote:
Set in the near future in an Antarctic base, the game has the player (who naturally has no memory of who he is and what his purpose is) control some kind of tech-based glove device as he tries to solve the mysteries of, well, what in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here. The gameplay in the trailer resembles Portal and the look of the game reminds us a bit of System Shock 2.

Quote:

The Spire was built from a love of good FPS's, conspiracy theories and a passion to ask "what if?" For us, understanding the limitations and benefits of a small team were of great importance, so every element, from story to gameplay are designed taking these points into account. As far as the gameplay is concerned the idea of playing around with gravity, magnetism and a few other cool elements seemed really cool to us and so we created something that we think is achievable but with all of these factors in mind. So all in all, we are trying to take certain elements of storytelling from TV series such as Lost or 24 and mix them with games like Portal or Bioshock (all be it trimmed down) to create something fun and fresh.


Quote:
The game is a genuine combination of three elements; puzzle, action and adventure. We really like what Zelda did with its dungeons, what Portal does with innovative puzzles and we also think Magneto's powers rule. So this game attempts to combine all of these elements to makes the player think but to also add elements of action to keep the 30sec fun factor.


Quote:

Any plans for a demo to be released for the game?

Yes, but not for a while yet. Sometime in the future we plan to release the prologue to the game and give this away for free, this could be considered a demo but will hopefully shock a few people with the setting and content.

"a phenomenon."

Yeah, I've seen this game some time ago on ModDB I think. It looks pretty good and I can't wait to play it, truth be told.

It does look VERY promising, and the trailer shows a lot of professionalism too. Smile
