The Invincible

Parents need to know that The Invincible is an upcoming adventure game for Windows PCs. The title is based off a science fiction story from Stanislaw Lew, and focuses on the distant planet of Regis III. In this futuristic tale, humans have stumbled across this world, kicking off a fast paced race to discover what its resources are, if any civilizations exist on the surface, and if it'd be good for colonization. But robots and prior equipment sent to the planet has gone strangely missing or silent, raising questions about whether this world is truly safe. Players take on the role of Yasna, a young astrobiologist that's part of a small crew sent to Regis III, but who finds herself quickly separated from her crew once they get to its surface. What happens next is up to the player, because the decisions that are made, from the placement of sensors to which teammates you help, will have a significant impact of the direction of the story. These won't be easy ones either: do you immediately help your teammate that seems to be catatonic, or do you set up a sensor array to call down a shuttle so you can evacuate them for medical attention? Or perhaps the better decision is to find and restore the inner workings of a science droid, so it can carry your teammate along with you as you look for help and clues behind the whereabouts of your crew. Beyond some of the tense moments when dealing with injured teammates, players will have the chance to define and create landmarks on the planet, which will provide directional cues to other characters about where they are and what they might be seeing. But players should always be aware of a line from the original story, which is, "not everything everywhere is meant for us." This planet harbors its own secrets, and it clearly doesn't want all of them revealed, but whether you'll solve the mystery of Regis III, or will become a casualty of it is hard to tell. There are some mild moments of violence, but they're scattered throughout the title. There are some corpses that will be found as a result of tragedies that occur on the planet, but there's no blood or gore shown.
