On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness trailer; Lovecraft is the new Heinlein

Recommended Videos

Gabe and Tycho, the boys behind Penny Arcade, PAX and the annual charitygasm that is Child’s Play, decided one day that they wanted to make a game. Unlike you, however, they apparently had the clout (and the total disdain for brevity) to make that happen. With the above trailer for On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness (cribbed from the disc attached to the latest issue of PC Gamer), the end result is C’thulhu meets Celda by way of Guybrush Threepwood.

Personally, I plan on picking this title up on launch day, if only to support the creative efforts of a group designing games the way they want to play them, as opposed to the traditional focus-group-tested, mother-approved approach. Oh, and also because Gabe has expressly assured me that the box will ward off draculas.

My room is chock-full of draculas! Swarms of them!
