Gameplay type: MMORTS, science fiction, fantasy

Platform: PC

Overview:

In 52 days an impending doom will occur and the game servers will cease to function.

52 is a massively multiplayer real time strategy game where players can choose between two powerful races, the technology based race called the Tectrona and their magical rivals called the Arcinsor. Both races allow players to create a wide range of buildings and units.

To be released on the 9th of November 2015, on New Year's Eve the powerful apocalyptic force will defeat all players on the servers and force the games servers to shut down, effectively ending 52 as a game....unless the players unite forces to stop it.

Objective:

It is the players choice to work together and build up their forces in 52 days before the impending doom comes about. Players of cities can choose to attack other cities should they not wish to unite or agree that a particular city will sabotage their efforts.Only by uniting with other players around the world and building a force to counter the impending doom, will there be a chance. What happens after that is undetermined.

How the MMORTS works?

When players sign up they are put into the world. Essentially it is first in served for whoever begins constructing a base. Subsequent players who join can choose to join either civilization or then the city they wish to be a part of. As players log off they can nominate other players to be acting rulers of the city while the ruler is logged off. Once cities reach a certain population, the player who founded the city is voted to stay on as ruler or replaced by the other members of the city.

Players inside the city can build off certain areas and establish their own districts. The ruler assigns specific tasks to the other players such as collecting resources and building troops. Players can choose to allocate the resources they collect to building up their own district or contributing to the cities wealth.

Players can train their own units within the city and other member of the city are their allies. Cities can ally with each other upon a voting system with all members or choose to make them their enemy. Allied cities can trade resources to strengthen their alliance as well as their resource stores for the coming battle.

Setting:

52 is set in a science fiction fantasy world of Deltorus where a war between the two civilizations has waged for centuries. During a climactic battle a darker force descended on the world and obliterated both armies effortlessly. After the defeat, the dark force delivered a message to the survivors stating that they have 52 days before their entire force descends upon the world to wipe out its inhabitancies.

Tectrona civilization:

The technological race possesses a vast range of buildings, vehicles and advanced weaponry which can be created. They adhere to the idea that technology will advance their civilization and consider magic to be an inferior inaccurate and irresponsible form of culture.

Units include robotic soldiers, cyborgs, mechs, battle cruisers, hovercraft, spacecraft and many more. Their units specialize on fast attack and precision to defeat their enemies.

Arcinsor civilization:

The magical civilization possesses a powerful assortment of arcane magic they use to bend the laws of nature to unleash upon their enemies. Occupying the southern part of the world, their culture is based around harnessing magic of the land and believe that all manner of technology and man-made machines are blasphemy.

Units include, mages, sorcerers, beasts, flying creatures, storms and much more. Their units specialize in powerful magic attacks as well as using the forces of nature to aid their already magical armies.

The impending doom:

Both an in game and meta-game enemy. In game it will unleash a powerful force onto the world of Deltorus and crush all players of both civilizations, ending all life's existence on the world. As a meta-game element, the developers have created a force that they believe is virtually impossible to beat. Prior to the games release, 52's creators have released details to those wishing to purchase the game that they will have 52 days before this force attacks and should they wish for the game to continue, they must defeat the force.

You are an abomination made up of multiple corpses and you are also running in a marathon…..makes perfect sense.

Course include: Sawmills, fireworks factories, motorways, construction sites, firing ranges and many more. Each course contains a wide range of dangerous and lethal obstacles which can crush and sever limbs.

Features:

Game play type: third person, free roam, fighting

Platform: PC

Overview:

You are a third person character and free roam around a city where crime occurs and you can choose to help victims of crime or leave them to their fate. Should you choose to help people in a crime you spend what is called the empathy quota. Empathy quotas restrict how many people you can help and with an entire city to explore you can only help those that you must. You must also risk injury or even death when intervening. You are able to fight off people however as a general member of the public your fighting skills are restricted to kicking and punching.

Objective:

There is no overall objective but the goal of the player is to explore the psychological phenomenon of the Bystander effect. Subjective accomplishments include feeling good about helping others as well as experiencing indifference when not helping out others. What crimes you choose to intervene is completely up to you and the amount of empathy you have available will influence your decisions.

The Bystander effect:

The bystander effect is a psychological phenomenon where people will not help a victim if there are other people present. There are many theories for this phenomenon such as diffusion of responsibility, ambiguity of the situation and whether other people will also intervene.
