Artificial planet, real trouble.
Anachronox, a colorful Sci-Fi role-playing game with turn-based combat system resembling Japanese RPG titles, a cast of memorable characters, and an amazing mysterious story, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $2.39 for the next 24 hours.
Sly Boots, probably the most unlucky private investigator in the history of the universe. Always the first to get the beating, always the last to get the girl. Someone with a trace of self-preservation instinct would have considered a career change. A hot-dog-and-zurhmax-beer booth in some relatively peaceful corner of northern Anachronox would be a much safer (and probably more profitable) business than a detective agency in the middle of the crime-ridden slum. So yes, some people might call Sylvester "Sly Boots" Bucelli a fool. The universe, however, needs that exact type of fools. Someday, when fools are in short supply, there will be no one to stand up to odds and save the whole of existence from destruction. Someday, but not today.
Anachronox combines jRPG mechanics, cinematic storytelling, and incredibly compelling Sci-Fi setting in one fun and memorable game. The story brings back the memories of space-opera classics, splices them with neo-noir detective novels, and adds a hefty dash of cyberpunk. Anachronox, the artificial planet of unknown origin that serves as the game's setting, is so full of mysteries that it could easily keep a legion of investigators busy for a century. All you get, though, is one beat-down sleuth and his small squad of misfits, dragged into a chain of events that are way over their head. Prepare for one of the most amazing stories ever told in computer RPGs!
Are you ready for a radical Sci-Fi adventure in the strangest corner of the universe? Get Anachronox for only $2.39 on GOG.com. The promo lasts until Tuesday, March 19, at 10:59AM GMT.
