About the Game

Surrounded by a strange forest, you come across a large, peculiar metal cylinder in the middle of a murky marsh. It has slimy, rusty ladder rungs along one side. You don't know why it looks slightly familiar, but somehow you are sure that you need to find a way to get across the marsh and investigate what's down below. As you discover old crusty machines, tunnel entrances, a radio shack, and a handful of strangers, you begin to piece together the history of the experiment that had long gone amok.

The Epsilon Outcome is a point-and-click adventure game with amnesia, disappearances, strange men in gray hazmat suits, and 8-bit graphics.

This project is the developer's culmination of years of art, music, writing and programming.

This game's for you if you're into:

  • Retro games, science fiction, or mysteries

  • Indie/grassroots stories, art and music

  • Solving puzzles on your own or with a friend. Works with Steam Remote Play Together!

Features:

  • Interact with characters and solve puzzles

  • LucasArts-style dialog, simplified Sierra-style interface

  • A world of 39 screens

  • Original 14-song soundtrack

  • Online hint guide if you're in a pickle
