admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:44:43 +0000

An experiment at a secret research facility has gone catastrophically wrong. Daniel Lamb and Leo Kasper are the only surviving objects. The Pickman Project will stop at nothing to hunt them down and stop the truth from getting out. Demented screams echo around the dank asylum that has caged you for the last six years. You open your eyes. A white-coated body slumps to the floor through your shaking hands. A bloody syringe slips from your arm. Waves of confusion and paranoia crash over you. You have no idea who you are or how you got there. The door to your cell is open. One choice. One chance. They took your life. Time to take it back.

Climbing and crawling have been included to increase exploration and exploitation of new hiding places.
