The third installment in the Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness has released for PC. You can snag the retro-inspired RPG from Zeboyd Games, continuing the misadventures of Gabe, Tycho, and friends as they kill Gods and push the city of New Arcadia towards an apocalyptic destiny, on Steam for $4.99. Orders placed by Monday, June 2nd, will also receive giftable copies of Zeboyd's previous two titles, Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World. 

I've played the opening hours of the game, clearing the tutorial area and reaching the point where the class-based mechanics start opening up to the player. I dig the pairing of Robert Boyd's design approach with the writing style of Jerry Holkins and, thus far, it feels like a proper extension of the series despite being dramatically different from the two prior titles from Hothead Games.

The game hasn't cropped up on Xbox Live Indie Games yet, having experienced a short delay while a rather unlikely bug gets ironed out. Not being able to set a firm release date for your game is all a part of the XBLIG experience, though, so I'm sure we'll see it there toot sweet. Or you could just pick up this version and skip the wait.

Bought it, love it. Zeboyd are some awesome fucking people for helping to keep this series going.

I only played a bit of the first one, and thought it was meh. I love PA, but something about that game bugged me. I might pick this up on sale.

@Professor Wright

...it costs 5 dollars. Exactly how much of a sale would you like them to have on this? Plus you're getting two other games - at least one of which I hear is quite good - for free if you get it now. Also this game is set to be quite a bit different from the first two in the series.
Again, 5 dollars. Skip the venti latte, buy one less pack of MTG cards, hop the turnstile, whatever.

@Professor: What nightsama said. Plus, look up at the screenshot. Now, very different from the first two right? Check it out, you might be surprised. Especially if love old school tb RPGs.

Oh it's an Indie Game, not an Arcade game? Fuck it then... Steam it is!

Also @Professor: This game is not by the same developer. This is by ZEBOYD. Which having played Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World makes this an instant purchase for me! Sounds like you have not played those either, so to score all three games for $5 is an amazing deal!

Couldn't get into the previous installments, not being too fond of their combat, but I love this one. It's overflowing with clever writing and the combat system is addicting and fun.

I don't want to be a dick, but it has been 13 hours since this was posted...can we get the correct date? The internet does not sleep ;)
