Weapon of Mass Destruction is a story driven RPG where the player plays the renamable protagonist Ureil. Uriel is a soldier assigned to guard the scientists of Deep Station One where experimental weapons are developed. As you patrols the corridors nothing seems amiss. He catches a glimpse of an out of place shadow moving down an adjacent corridor and goes investigate. As he approaches the area where he saw the shadow the ground shakes violently and he is deafened by an enormous explosion. Uriel is thrown to the ground, dazed and confused. Uriel stuggles up to his feet and is greeted by the sound of nearby gunfire and rush toward the sound.
Key Features:
-Play an intense, action packed story where every decision you make can change an NPC's disposition toward you and can impact the course of the game.
-In a galaxy where science is the new religion, many new inventions are being made every day, this allows for unprecedented weapon customization from close combat weapons like vibro-swords and piston driven great hammers to laser rifles and shoulder mounted machine guns.
-The recent technological advances have also led to cybernetic enhancements: fight as a Uriel, human soldier of the Loricatus Brotherhood, or purchase upgrades to enhance your combat prowess, ability to wield heavier, more complex weapons and even increase the processing power of your brain. However, these upgrades come at a cost and will isolate you from your fellow soldiers and make it harder to associate with hose who do not have these upgrades. The more cybernetic enhancements you get, the more difficult communication with others becomes.
Do you have what it takes to pursue the enemy through a vast galaxy tracking down leads and chasing criminals in order to discover what is needed to complete your mission?

The Things Behind the Wall is a first person, non-combat game not unlike Myst (Ubisoft, 2005). You and your little brother have been playing a game of hide and seek in the enormous, restored 1800's mansion your family is on holiday at. After a few minutes and alternating seeker and hider you hear your brother squeal in excitement. You finish counting down to zero and yell "Ready or not! Here I come!", though no matter how you search, you can't find him anywhere. You realise that you've lost him. Rather than going to your parents and telling them that you lost your brother and risk getting scolded or having them panic, you decide to set off to the area you were last together: an extended corridor with extravagant red and white wallpaper and gaudy picture frames with old photos inside line the wall. You open the first door on your left and you are greeted by an open world of lush green, vibrant trees and warm sunlight. You see a human sized rabbit who smiles and beckons you over.
In The Things Behind the Doors it is your duty to explore the many lands behind the doors down this magical hallway to find your little brother. As you make contact with strange and wonderful animals, the decisions you make in conversations will lead to you making friendships with them. If they like you enough they will offer hints, advice and even come to your aid if you come perilously close to danger.
Enjoy a game with rich story, engaging dialogue, strange, but friendly animals, stunning scenery, open world landscapes and invigorating hints to close the distance between yourself and your lost brother.
