<strong>[ Demo ]</strong>
<p>Here's a little gift from <strong><a href="http://maroder-game.ru/" target="_blank">Apeiron</a></strong> (Brigade E5, 7.62, Man of Prey). I'll let mondblut explain <strong>Capitulum</strong> since I know nothing:</p><blockquote><p>Apeiron made available a playable demo of our ambitious project that should have followed Reloaded (E7), but did not interest publishers. SPM meets an RPG in a Fallout/WH40k hybrid kind of a setting. </p><p>It is set in a neofeudal society on postapoc Earth, some 3 centuries after a catastrophe (a global war against extraterrestrial invaders which aliens won and then left), about 24 or 25 century. The plot revolved around an "order" of elite stormtroopers who were created for the alien war out of brainwashed and genetically and cybernetically enhanced criminals, but weren't awakened by their controlling computer in time, and overslept for 300 years until their bunker was broken in and the computer stolen by the junk smugglers. Player controls one of those "knights" (brainwashed into following medieval knightly ideals and given names like Roland, Galahad etc) as he explores the world and searches for the stolen computer.
The setting is very gothic, think WH40k or better yet, Fading Suns - barons, inquisition and all this dark medieval stuff, but with some high-tech equipment, both makeshift and remaining from previous civilization. Most of the action happens on the ruins of known locales in central/eastern Europe, such as Prague and St. Petersburg. Much of Europe is some cursed, warped place called Rift where no normal life dwells after an alien war, and eventually we get to discover why.
Gameplay was normal SPM, with some stuff that later got into Man of Prey (like static weapons or hostile animals). The flow was more RPGish, JRPGish even maybe, with more parts of the world opening up once you get a hold on some advanced means of transportation, but a plenty of freedom within each of the parts.
The demo contains one level, set upon the ruins of <a href="http://s44.radikal.ru/i105/0907/e1/368f08f7084c.jpg" target="_blank">this</a>. It involves our "knight" visiting a village of "shroomeaters", who harvest medically precious mushrooms in the tunnels which once were the Petersburg subway, and finds the villagers enslaved by a self-proclaimed "baron" and his gang of robbers, while the tunnel plantations are overrun with monstrous "darklings", Rift-warped zombie things.
