Inferus is an award-winning platformer/action-adventure game for Windows and the XBox 360, inspired by the modern Prince of Persia and Castlevania games. The game is set within The City, a small kingdom perched upon the slopes of an inactive volcano, and follows a day in the life of Aram, a former architect who now works as a thief for hire in order to purchase medicine for his ailing daughter. As the story begins, one of Aram’s jobs goes bad, and in an attempt to cover it up, his client – the Royal Alchemist – has him arrested and thrown into exile in The City’s ancient underground prison. As Aram attempts to escape and make his way back above ground, it becomes clear that the Alchemist has put a nefarious plan into motion that involves his daughter. The player must lead Aram out of the prison, through the city’s network of underground tunnels, and through the city above to rescue his daughter before it’s too late. To survive, Aram must harness all of his wits and agility to confront his foes and avoid the numerous traps that lie ahead of him, placed there by the Mad Architect who designed the city’s underground tunnels and passages. To aid him in his journey, he finds himself accompanied by a familiar presence from his past. Inferus won first and third place in Intel’s Level Up 2009 game competition. |
