Culpa Innata

Moby ID: 31106

The year is 2047. It is the golden age in mankind's evolution. For the first time in history, countries with significant resources have united under one World Union. In this utopian society, "survival of the fittest" takes its next inevitable step. Only the elite are deemed worthy to live under the World Union banner - the smartest, healthiest, and wealthiest. Forsaking the altruistic tendencies that have crippled individual development and economic progress in the past, the World Union has ushered in an unprecedented era of self-interest and fulfillment. Prosperity is a science, sex is entertainment, disease and capital crime are non-existent, and the future has never looked better.

But beneath a perfect world lies an unspeakable truth -- A truth that is ready to surface! A World Union citizen is murdered in Russia, one of the few remaining Rogue States. This murder oddly coincides with the accidental death of a prominent professor in Adrianopolis, an important border town between the World Union and Russia. Peace Officer Phoenix Wallis is assigned to lead the investigation of the murder. Still young and inexperienced, she will soon make discoveries beyond her wildest imagination, as skilled hackers and subversive characters begin taking an inexplicable interest in Phoenix. Her investigation reveals enigmatic clues that lead her deeper and deeper into a mystery that challenges not only her case, but her very beliefs in the worldview she has sworn to protect.

This story-driven, third-person game uses a 3D engine with dynamic cameras and other technologies developed by Momentum AS. Their remarkable patented facial animation technology is put to excellent use, as the game features over fifty personable characters that you’ll frequently engage in dialogue throughout your investigation. Using the classic mouse in a point and click interface, players have responded enthusiastically to the intuitive and responsive control. The game features a wide variety of organic obstacles ranging from logic puzzles to hi-tech gadget manipulation to dialogue and inventory challenges.

With its non-linear styled gameplay, optional activities and dialogue choices, branching paths, and even multiple endings, Culpa Innata offers plenty of replay value. The game is crisply paced with much to discover, yet still allows each player to explore at their leisure.

In the last decade, the interactive entertainment industry has been steadily growing. Computer & video games has been the fastest growing segment of this expanding industry. In 2002, Momentum established a game development group by combining its technological know-how with artistic and creative talents to meet the challenges of the interactive entertainment industry. In order to make a successful entry to the interactive entertainment industry, it was decided to start with an adventure game where it is possible to leverage Momentum's technologies in 3-D face modeling and animation. These technologies greatly increase the realism of the characters' look and feel, as well as the naturalism of their dialogues and interactions within the game environment. These features are more important, and realistic characters are better appreciated by a player in an adventure game rather than an arcade game. Funding has been secured to complete the game project and a publisher demo is now available. Culpa Innataâ„¢ is targeted for publication in the second quarter of 2007.
