Today Atlus USA has announced that they are teaming up with Big Finish Games to bring gamers Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure. If the name rings a bell it is because this is actually the sixth installment in a long running PC adventure series that hasn’t been around since 1998. It also might ring a bell since it was originally began as a Kickstarter project.

While this is a surprise announcement, though Atlus has been making a few of those lately, Bill Alexander, vice president of production and business development at Atlus had this to say about the game:

“The Tex Murphy franchise is definitely much beloved around the ATLUS office; a lot of us were playing Tex games before we started our careers in the games industry. Atlus has a great penchant for stepping in to help developers bring their incredible games to market, and we are eager to breathe new life into this classic franchise. We hope that it will bring back fond memories for Tex Murphy fans as well as introduce a new generation of gamers to his one-of-a-kind humor.”

The game is a return to the full-motion video genre and will follow the story of Tex Murphy, a down on his luck “gumshoe” who is working on in a post-WWIII apocalyptic world. The game is currently set to be released on the PC and Mac sometime in early 2014 and Atlus has released a few screenshots for the title which can be found below.

Shelter Out Now on Steam

Shelter-Artwork-01

Swedish developer Might and Delight are proud to announce the release of their innovative title, Shelter, (check out our review for it here) on Steam as well as a new trailer to accompany it. The game is set to have a retail price of $9.99, although if gamers act before September 4 they can get the title with a bonus 10% discount off the standard charge.

For the uninitiated Shelter puts gamers into the role of a mother badger with the seemingly simple task of keeping your brood of five cubs alive as you traverse varied woodland areas. The game is broken up into separate levels each with their own theme and obstacles to set them apart from the previous one. The game has you forage for food in the forests, but to keep it interesting the game does not have enough food for the entire pack to remain fed so the game throws in a hunting feature that requires a certain element of stealth to accomplish. There are also dangers in the form of other woodland creatures, most notably a giant bird that you must avoid by hiding and quick movements lest you turn into a hot meal yourself. To accompany the gameplay and setting the developers have included a striking soundtrack to set the mood based on the on-screen action.

The game is available on PC as a stand alone title or also as a bundle for $15 with the developers’ last release Pid.
