Pandora: First Contact game - PC, Mac and Linux all on the same disk for the first time


Now when players buy Pandora they are not just buying it for one platform (PC, Mac or Linux). Instead they get all formats in one package, a serial number that works for all and no intrusive DRM so they can install on their Mac and their PC. If they buy the boxed edition it will come with all formats as well.


This also marks an evolution in Slitherine’s distribution. In the future all multi-platform games (PC/Mac/Linux) will have a single download or disk containing all formats, allowing players to download and play the games on all operating systems they own.

Features:

  • Explore a new world harboring a variety of eco-regions, from the frozen ice lands of the north, to vast deserts and lush tropical forests in the south.
  • Survive encounters with the planet's dangerous wild life. Deadly swarms walk the lands and agile predators fly in the skies. There is even talk of a giant creature in the oceans.
  • Live in harmony with nature or use it to further your cause. The indigenous life will react to your actions and treat you accordingly.
