I'm sure atleast once or twice, each one of us has dreamt such a fantasy with very distinct characters. However to pull that into real life, whatever the form or shape, is not easy for most. Having said that, one small Dev company from Chile, ACE Team, is close to awe us with a surreal game.

Zeno Clash is a story driven game that uniquely blends the first person genre with the fighting game genre. Players will play the role of Ghat, the son of an impressive hermaphrodite creature called Father-Mother, whose children form the most powerful clan in the city of Halstedom. Ghat must escape from his family and start an incredible journey with his female companion Deadra, who will aid him in the dangerous lands of Zenozoik.

Father-Mother, in all it's surreal form



Around the Network

having trouble embedding the gametrailers clip



finally got it to work goddammit, i hate embedding



I'm a bit confused about the background for the game but it appears to be an FPS game built on the source engine. As much as I love the source engine I haven't seen anything that jumps out at me as exciting, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt for now and keep an eye on it.

Thanks for posting it~



To Each Man, Responsibility

it's not an FPS. Most combat will be melee, and Zeno Clash will be more of an action game heavily story-centric.

Anyway, the one thing that jumps out high from the teaser is the game's awesome art style. Very oddworld-ish

 @Parokki
heh you're right, it's "Of all my children" (which makes more sense).

HOLY FUCK

I came into this thread with very little expectations (boring name etc), but the style of the trailer just blew me away. It reminded me of Kronos, and the other really fucked up parts of Greek mythology. After all the cleaned up Hollywood-level mythology games lately, it really hit a spot in my heart. I had no idea how much I had missed bestiality, incest, and child eating!

It was quite a disappointment when the game turned out to be yet another FPS, but hopefully it won't be too generic.

 

(edit: btw, I think hir second line is "Of all my children" rather than "Hello my children") 



New screens of the highly surprising Zeno Clash:

 

Looks great.



Added that it's being released at only $20 price, a new melee combat trailer, and these new pics:

 



this thread is much more complete, and awe inducing than the other one.
