Zeno Clash at the Independent Games Festival news

Zeno Clash

ACE Team | Released 2009

In the land of Zenozoik, the city of Halstedom is ruled by a powerful clan, one which Ghat has betrayed by committing a terrible sin. Now, Ghat's brothers and sisters are pursuing him and his companion Deadra through strange and twisted lands, beyond the boundaries of the sane to the ends of the world. What was Ghat's crime and why did he commit it? The bare-knuckled brawl to reach the truth has just begun. A fascinating world of grotesque beauty--Equal parts breathtakingly beautiful and utterly disturbing, prepare to be swallowed up in a surreal fantasy world powered by the Source engine. Explore lush environments and confront bizarre animal-humanoid foes on your mission of discovery and redemption. Visceral first person fighting--Combat is up close, personal, and entirely satisfying. Start with a series of punches, kicks, and grabs, follow up with a knee to the enemy's face, and hit him with a finishing move to send him flying yards away. Learn new moves to mix it up.

I remember seeing the first media for this game a little while back. It does indeed look great!

This game is fantastic, but yet... it scares me. That Fathermother thing... oh dear god, scaries thing I've seen in a while. D:

Also, this game feels NOTHING like other source games, it really shows that despite the age of the source engine, it can still, if used right, produce the same amazing graphical results that many other new engines do.
