Wadjet Eye Games, publisher of retro-styled adventure games including Gemini Rue and Resonance, is now taking preorders for their next release, Primordia, at http://www.primordiagame.com. The first commercial project from indie developer Wormwood Studios, the cyberpunk-themed Primordia will release as a PC download on December 5, 2012.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world strewn with cast-off machines, Primordia tells the story of Horatio Nullbuilt, a stoic robot who values his solitude and independence. Horatio spends his days studying the Book of Man, sparring with his droid companion Crispin, and tinkering with the airship they call home — a peaceful existence that becomes threatened when a rogue robot steals the energy source that the pair needs to survive. When Horatio and Crispin’s search for energy brings them to the dazzling city of Metropol, the simple quest to recover their stolen power core leads to unexpected discoveries about Horatio’s origins and a new understanding of the legendary humans who walked the earth before him.
Wadjet Eye is offering two preorder deals in anticipation of the game’s December 5 release:
- Digital Download: For $8.99 (10% off the game’s usual $9.99 price), customers can reserve a DRM-free copy of Primordia to download on December 5. The digital preorder includes a free MP3 soundtrack.
- Limited Edition DVD: For $19.99, customers can purchase a DVD version of Primordia that includes the MP3 soundtrack, concept art, a behind-the-scenes video with voice recording footage, and other digital goodies. Free worldwide shipping is included, along with DRM-free download access to Primordia on December 5. This limited edition DVD will only be sold during the preorder period and is expected to ship in time for the holidays.
