Spiral Brings Episodic Action, Adventure and Intrigue to iOS
GUILDFORD, ENGLAND, March 5, 2012 –Developer Pixel Hero Games are excited to announce the launch of what will undoubtedly be a milestone in iOS episodic gaming. Using the power of Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 to combine high quality, console level production values with an intuitive and accessible interface, ‘Spiral’ will allow players to navigate and explore detailed 3D environments, taking part in spectacular action set pieces, as well as battling enemies using a unique, context sensitive combat system.
Cast into the last, multi-layered metropolis of a dying world, the player assumes the role of ‘Tempus’ – an investigator suffering from strange dreams. While trying to figure out the link between the deadly ‘Spiral’ disease afflicting the population and the increasing violence and instability occurring around him, Tempus becomes the center of an underground plot that threatens the entire world around him.
