Discover a new radical approach to storytelling as “First Person Talker” is awarded Official Selection at the LGF

London, United Kingdom – March 11th, 2022 – Indie studio godolphin games are thrilled to announce that their voice-controlled puzzle adventure game, Unknown Number, has been chosen as part of London Games Festival’s Official Selection. Combining cutting edge voice recognition technology with an explosive thriller narrative, Unknown Number is scheduled to launch in Q2 2022 on Steam.

An innovative voice-controlled adventure told entirely through interactive phone calls, Unknown Number has been picked for the London Games Festival Official Selection, and will be showcased as part of the 10-day in person and online event, from Friday 1st April to Sunday 10th April. The game is part of this year’s ‘Narrative Excellence’ category, where Unknown Number and other titles tell gripping stories in innovative and experimental ways.

“We’re thrilled that Unknown Number has been selected for ‘Narrative Excellence’ at the London Games Festival”, said Thomas Keane, Creative Director of godolphin games. “Voice control puts players at the heart of the action like never before. After all, who needs a fancy avatar when you can speak to characters directly?”

“In Unknown Number, you’ll receive phone calls from a full cast of colourful personalities – from eco-warriors to oil barons. But it’s your words, and your voice, that really take centre stage. Heck, at the end of this, you’ll probably deserve an award for ‘Best Vocal Performance’. We’ll have a word with the LGF to see if they can make it happen.”

The first game in an all-new genre that the developers are calling a “First Person Talker”, Unknown Number combines elements from puzzle adventure, interactive story and augmented reality games to create a high-octane gameplay experience. Make your voice heard as you talk, sing, whisper and shout your way through the captivating narrative, and interact with a plethora of morally complex characters.

In this genre-defying thriller, use your voice to…

• SOLVE complex puzzles to unlock treasure vaults
• NAVIGATE a maze-like oil rig under serious time pressure
• IMPERSONATE high-profile oil execs on conference calls
• TRICK henchman into abandoning their guard posts
• JOIN an underground eco-movement run by kids
• MAKE crucial moral decisions that impact the story
• TELL knock-knock jokes… and maybe even SAVE the world

Harness the power of ice and give your enemies the cold shoulder.

Hangzhou, March 11th 2022 | 24 Entertainment is excited to announce that Justina Gu is available from tomorrow in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. Justina, the stone-cold assassin, is the latest new hero to be added to the widely-acclaimed battle royale. To celebrate the new release, 24 Entertainment has prepared a skill preview video, which shows off Justina Gu’s moves and abilities.

Like the contrast of crimson and winter, not every tale is told in black and white. From friends to mortal enemies, after Viper Ning murdered Justina’s mother — their history spans many years. Two warriors entwined, one seeking revenge, the other, freedom. Yin and Yang, the battlefield will determine their fates. Whose side are you on? 

With the power of freeze, Justina Gu has a wide range of attacks, from protecting herself in an ice block, to freezing enemies with her touch. Justina Gu can call upon ice cold energies to temporarily protect herself within an ice-core aura, and while in this mode, she will be able to recover a set amount of armour and is invincible to any attack for up to 5 seconds. After 1.5 seconds, Justina can break out of her ice statue state by dodging in any direction. The only time her ‘Ice Core’ ability can’t be enabled is when the player is taking physical damage.

Calling upon the ice energy she wields deep within her soul, she is able to enter what is known as ‘Arctic Wrath’ status, in which nearby enemies will be knocked back. While enemies are briefly stunned, Justina’s skill set engages ‘Shadow Swipe’ for up to 20 seconds, increasing her attack by 5%. 

‘Shadow Swipe’ allows Justina to charge forward at an increased speed to freeze any enemies in her path and deal a small amount of damage. Each time a hit is landed on an enemy, the damage caused will increase by 5% (to a maximum of 15%) which will then reset the remaining time. ‘Shadow Swipe’ can be used up to 4 times and regains 1 usage count when hitting 2 enemies at once.

For all of Justina’s additional moves, please see here: New Hero: Justina Gu Skill Preview | NARAKA: BLADEPOINT – YouTube

  Exchange health for power in fast-paced glass cannon gameplay

  Twin stick shooting, dashing and wall sliding are just the beginning – find power-ups and items on each run

The first content drop of the season is Horde Mode, followed by more content in the upcoming months. The Frontrunner Season is free for all owners of the game. Following its launch on December 9, 2021 on Meta Quest 2, PlayStation®VR and PC VR, After the Fall continues to be a supported title with more content in the pipeline.

Vertigo Games released a new trailer to highlight the Frontrunner Season kick off and the launch of Horde Mode. Watch the trailer here:

The Frontrunner Season has begun

After the Fall’s Frontrunner Season has officially started today with the launch of two Horde Mode maps; the Junction and the Highway, and the new revolver. Following this are the ‘Boulevard’ Harvest Map, the ‘Free-for all’ PvP mode, the ‘Stockpile’ PvP Map, the new ‘Skimmer’ enemy and the player outfits in March. For April, Vertigo Games plans to add more equipment to After the Fall, such as consumables, devices and special skins.

In Horde Mode, up to four Harvest Runners will deploy to a contained area where Snowbreed come running down from all sides, all the while they will have to survive for as long as they can. Vertigo Games introduces this game mode as an endless Horde Mode. Alongside this update is the Horde-Mode unlockable revolver.

The update for March brings the new Harvest Map ‘Boulevard’, which is added on top of the five existing Harvest Runs and becomes playable in all existing difficulty modes. To spice up the Harvest runs, the new special Snowbreed The Skimmer will drive players to hunt him instead of being hunted on. Also coming in March is the ‘Free for all’ PvP mode and in the new Stockpile PvP map. As a part of this PvP update, there will be Harvest rewards for the top players in each match. Introducing the player skin system, Harvest Runners will be able to select their preferred look as well.

For April, the player arsenal will expand with new weapons, items and weapon skins, so players can choose their loadout to face the Snowbreed with. These items include two additional weapons, new consumables and combat devices among others.

With intense 4-player co-op and crossplay (PC VR, PlayStation VR and Quest 2)  at its core, After the Fall offers action-packed co-op gameplay, built from the ground up for VR.  Starting out in a shared space with up to 32 other players across all platforms, players venture out into the remains of post-apocalyptic LA in squads of four, wielding weapons with real-life movements. To stay ahead of their enemies, players scavenge the undead-infested VR world, with new discoveries lurking around every corner. When they’re ready, the competitive Tundradome PvP arena and endless hordes in Horde mode awaits them.

Developed by Vertigo Studios (Arizona Sunshine) and published by Vertigo Games, After the Fall – Launch Edition is now available on Quest 2, PlayStation and Steam, with a Deluxe Edition on PlayStation VR and Steam.
