Dead Cyborg launches, pay what you want for it photo

Endre Barath has released the first episode of his indie project, Dead Cyborg. It's a first-person exploration game that's also a text adventure. With surprisingly good graphics and intriguing gameplay, it's worth looking into. 

Dead Cyborg follows the increasingly popular pay-what-you-want business model. You can download it for free, but if you'd like to give Endre some money in exchange for the game, feel free to do so. It's been out for a while, and I wouldn't have even heard of it were it not for Rock, Paper, Shotgun, so check it out and see if it deserves your support. 

It's funny how PC gaming is considered to be all about bigger upgrades and more graphics. When I think of computer gaming, I think of games like this -- projects you'd just never get on a console.

Download Dead Cyborg for free right here.

+1 Jim.

It's funny how some PC gamers bitch and moan about how consoles are ruining PC gaming even though the creativity in PC gaming is nearly bottomless.

That's the mentality of the graphics card for you.

It's just like Game Dev Story teaches you - no matter how expensive gaming console development gets, there's always the good ol' reliable cheap PC!

I like this business model, it seems to really let the better game makers really shine the most.

The nice thing is, DC was created using free software as well: www.blender.org
Trust me, Blender is more addictive than gaming!

Thanks for featuring this Jim. Nice to give the little guy some attention. Not that I'm saying Endi is small, you understand.
