Can you last until dawn? In Petrified, a Source-powered multiplayer game, a band of humans is pitted against an array of statues possessed by evil Watchers—the protectors of the graveyard. A few are coming close when no mortal is looking, looking to steal souls and swell their own numbers. As a statue, you can enjoy the thrill of the hunt waiting for the right time to strike. As a human you’ll be running around a chilling landscape that never moves yet constantly changes, and when you have finally realized which statues are real and which are fake, it may be too late!
This was a Candid photo from our first internal playtest -- also the most stereotypical photo you would see in a game development program's brochure. It's even got "WPI" in the corner of the screen!
"The watcher had a distinct feeling of omnipotence, but it also seemed mostly balanced." ~One of the other playtesters, on our feedback form.
