Fans of the original game Deadeus will love this … a jet-black cartridge of the game will be produced, but pre-orders will close next Monday. Of course this is for the Game Boy handheld only.
Taken from Engadget … Who doesn’t love a game with a bit of atmosphere? Deadeus (pronounced “deddyoos”) is an indie horror title for the original Game Boy — or emulators thereof — and it has it in spades. The game has been available for a while as a name-your-own-price download, but it’s about to get a physical release on a suitably jet-black cartridge, pre-orders for which close next Monday. If you’re a fan of the retro games, or the genre, you should definitely play it, and if you have the requisite hardware, it should fit right into any great collection.
Don’t be deceived by Deadeus’ Pokémon-like graphics and play style. This game has dark undertones and is all the more delightful for it. The contrast between the ‘90s era Nintendo trees and picket fences with the themes of cult, ritual and murder couldn’t be starker, yet it feels entirely appropriate. You wouldn’t know it by playing it, but most of the game was made by one person and is a great showcase for Chris Maltby’s GB Studio development tool.
