Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One is now available to gamers via Stardock's next generation digital distribution platform, Impulse. Along with this first installment, Impulse will offer the entire On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness game series from Hothead for download.
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is an RPG-Adventure game set in the deranged 1920s universe of New Arcadia, delivered to gamers via accessible episodic releases. Players join Gabe and Tycho, the crime-solving team of the Startling Developments Detective Agency, to combat savage enemies and solve mysteries hidden deep in the sinister heart of New Arcadia. Episode One introduces players to this new world created by Penny Arcade's Mike "Gabe" Krahulik and Jerry "Tycho" Holkins and brought to life by the Hothead team.
Impulse is a cohesive, integrated virtual platform for consumers and developers that is designed to simplify buying, supporting and developing PC games and applications. "We love Penny Arcade and are excited to have Hothead's game on Impulse," said Brad Wardell, CEO and president of Stardock. "We're thrilled to see On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness make the leap to our digital distribution platform. We look forward to delivering their further titles."
"Hothead shares Stardock's vision and passion of making great games and closing the distance between the developers that create these experiences and the gamers that love them," said Vlad Ceraldi, president of Hothead Games. "More digital distribution choices for gamers and developers ensure an environment that will foster more innovation, creativity and risk with game design and story - a combination the games industry sorely needs."
