Wow, potentially epic adventure games in the making have, it seems, caught the Minecraft bug. Sort of.
Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller is indeed an adventure game in the making by Phoenix Online Studios and a potentially epic one at that. Currently, the creators are pledging $25,000 so that development can speed itself up and hurry a potential release so that we can all enjoy this potentially epic adventure game. Potentially.
It might sound like I'm taking the piss, but Cognition is a title I'm actually rather looking forward to, not least because their 'story consultant' is the one and only Jane Jenson, creator of the recent Grey Matter and the legendary (or ought that be 'super old but rather well liked'?) Gabriel Knight.
Those who pledge $1 or more will be specially thanked in the credits list. Those who pledge a whopping $10,000 or more will not only be thanked, they'll be spanked! Well, no, not really! Actually, they'll have the opportunity to have their say on the project (disclaimer permitting) and have an opportunity to appear as a character in the game!
Phoenix's pledge is valid up until 11th December this year. If adventure games are important to you, then reading the story behind Cognition might well be worth your time.
