Welcome to LifeNET social network. Cthulhu wants to be your friend.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse, an intriguing action puzzler mixing physics-based challenges with an involving Sci-Fi story and some Cthulhu mythos for good measure, is available 15% off for pre-orders on GOG.com. That's only $16.99 until Thursday, June 20, at 9:59AM GMT, when the game is expected to arrive.

It all began with Mr. Gruckezber and his tremendously popular LifeNET social network. The total addiction of millions turned into a huge commercial success and laid the foundation of the international giant--the Gruckezber corporation. The network gained importance over the years, becoming the world's default communication system and networking platform. Gruckezber's ambitions didn't stop at that. Around the year 2050 the Gruckezber Magtech deep space research and exploration program was unveiled. You've been selected to test the revolutionary Magtech Glove device but what began as scientific research soon transforms into a perilous journey, as you're suddenly transported to a parallel dimension. A dimension where ancient madness lurks beyond time.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse takes you on a fantastic adventure filled with brilliant physics-based puzzles, mysteries, risk, and breathtaking views. The magnetic mechanics behind the Magtech Glove are quite simple to understand, but not that easy to master. This allows for some very original and challenging level design, that goes perfectly with the game's twisted story. Splicing together ideas that seemingly don't have much in common, this game creates an amazing experience you won't soon forget. If you like your action/puzzles with a pinch of crazy and a whole lot of awesome, make sure not to miss this amazing upcoming title, that will put both your brains and your reflexes to a test!

Reserve your LifeNET account right now and prepare to jump right in the twisted futuristic world of Magrunner: Dark Pulse, for only $16.99 on GOG.com. The pre-order discount offer is available until approximately Thursday, June 20, at 9:59AM GMT.
Seems to become a fantastic game; will give it a try!

Wishbone: That looks so much like Portal.

JMich: With a touch of Half-Life as well. Check the trailer.
I did, and I didn't think "Half-Life" at any point, although I think I know what you mean. You're thinking about Xen, aren't you? Personally, the three games that I got associations to were Portal, Tron 2.0 and Hard Reset.

Yep, Xen and also the "Oh god, alien monsters have overrun the science facility" thingy. But then again, it has become way too common in the last 2 decades, hasn't it?
This game looks awesome :D



*looks at system requirements*


Nevermind...

Ah yes, I didn't even think about that. You're right, it does seem like Portal and Half-Life were the two major inspirations. Well, if you're going to make a game inspired by two other games, you could do a lot worse than those two ;-)

I just hope it turns out to be an original game of it's own, rather than one simply trying to copy things from other games.

How thoughtful of you...
Well, if GOG.com can't get Portal, this is probably the next best thing.

Not gonna pre-order, but I think I'll keep an eye on this. Hopefully it turns out good.
:o Interest piqued. Weeeshlisted.

You guys crack me up :-D
It would be nice to know about the system requirements of this game before i place an order.
The pictures are looking good, but than most do after a nice photo shop or running with an engine that won't be the final version.
So as always, wait and see is better than buy and resent.

triock: Blade Runner Confirmed! :p
Absolutely! Lately all the cyberpunk games and now this big hint. It's gog masterplan for this year to bring us safely on the road before they release this masterpiece.


Btw, game includes Cthulhu, take part in space, seems to copy Portal by gameplay, seems to copy Blade Runner by name, seems to homage Terminators SkyNet (LifeNet) - where the heck are the zombies and pirates? ;-)
meh, I'd rather see the ACTUAL Call of Cthulhu adventure games of the 90's on GOG; Prisoner of Ice and Shadow of the Comet

Looks like an interesting game. And with Cthulhu in the mix, everybody wins! Or loses! Or dies! Or goes insane! Whatever the case, it'll be quite a ride.
Yay for newer games on GOG.com! Now get us State of Decay.
