Summer won't last.
Richard and Alice, a sophisticated and mature indie adventure game that excels in captivating storytelling while constructing a depressive vision of cataclysmic winter and its effect on the society, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $2.39 for the next 24 hours!
Richard is a soldier reluctant to talk of his past. Alice is a young mother arrested for murder. Locked up in neighboring prison cells they begin to share their stories. Some questions are asked, some answers are given, some truths remain hidden, but a bond is starting to form between the two tortured souls. In time, they might start trusting each other enough to reveal what actually happened to them before they ended up locked away. Outside, the snow keeps falling and the foundations of human civilization begin to crack under its pressure.
Richard and Alice is a game that focuses solely on storytelling, using simplistic graphics and design that are subordinated to that goal only. Excellent writing draws you into the depressive world filled with frozen hearts, and measured pacing allows you to enjoy the little details. This title is a mature and deep story full of emotion, that will leave you with the feeling of experiencing something profound. If you appreciate well executed narrative in your adventure games, be sure to pick up this one!
Fall into the cold, unwelcoming embrace of the near future. Experience the sad and deeply moving story of Richard and Alice, for only $2.39 on GOG.com. The offer lasts until Thursday, June 14, at 9:59AM GMT.
