Today publisher Atlus has announced they will be partnering with Big Finish to publish Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure. The long running series of PC adventure games has captured the heart of adventure gamers since it debuted on a variety of home computers in 1989. With the series lying dormant since the 1998 Tex Murphy: Overseer, this is a welcome return for a beloved icon of PC adventure gaming.
Amidst the many games released in 2014, it’s more than likely many of us have had to hold off or have even completely missed out on some of the hidden gems. From horror games to narrative experiences, here are seven indie games that definitely shouldn’t be missed.
"To call it a quality drop is a painful understatement. Drops like this normally require a cliff and a suicide note. An area devoted to a group of Tesla fanatics especially is one of the worst things ever inflicted on the series; The Pandora Directive’s Roswell complex without the tension, but with the tedium stretched out long enough to girdle the world four times." - PCGamer
Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure is the first Tex Murphy title since 1998 and is presented in full 3D. This adventure game provides the nostalgic feel of the 90′s with full-motion video gameplay and cutscenes. After a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2012, publisher Atlus helps Tex Murphy return to the video game scene on PC and Mac. The game is set at $19.99 through Steam and will be presented in 2K resolution.
Good to see that Atlus's publishing wing is still...publishing. Looks like they must have been bought by a parent company (either that, or Index is making a comeback), so that they can stay free to publish instead of being locked by 1st and 3rd party publishers. Stay free and breezy Atlus.
