The Late Call makes unique use of your system's microphone to aid your character's plight, and as you progress, morsels of the twisted story are revealed, increasing tension with dramatic surprises.
The result is an enjoyable play experience with a fresh take on the 3D stealth game genre, but with casual gameplay appeal. And with all ByDesign games, you don't need to quit your day job to enjoy playing...
The Late Call is being developed for Mac & Windows computers and should be available sometime in 2008.
We've recently updated the game's code base to v2 of the Unity engine, the engine of choice here at ByDesign Games. Though all the kinks haven't been worked out yet just yet, already the game is faster and even looks better as a result.
I'm pleased to communicate we've had a great response to last month's Beta Program; now closed. All applications have been received and are currently being processed. Beta emails will go out to all those who applied in the coming weeks.
.: A key part of the ByDesign Games "Beta" Program :.
If you didn't get in and would still like to participate in the Beta Program, drop me a line with your best reason and I'll see what we can do; the more imaginative the reason, the better! ;)
Last bit o' news for now, international players will be happy to know The Late Call will definitely ship in the 5 dominate western languages; English, French, Spanish, German & Italian! More info on this as we approach release.
Oui! Oui!
