New release: Dark Scavenger

Psydra Games writes in to tell us about Dark Scavenger, an unusual hybrid of point-and-click adventure game and RPG.

The game’s premise is a bit odd:

Filling the role of a powerful space traveler, you find yourself stranded on a mysterious planet in the company of three eccentric, yet resourceful aliens. As you desperately seek a way to repair your ship, a massive conflict unfolds around you involving warring factions and a sinister force that threatens to destroy them all.

Will you adopt the problems of this world as your own or will you just save yourself?

Dark Scavenger has a trailer, but it shows very little of the exploration and dialog aspects of the game, and even less of the game’s agreeably goofy tone. This video is probably better for purposes of introducing you:

Psydra Games sells Dark Scavenger for both Mac and Windows at a $4.99 price point; grab it direct from the developer here. (You can also find the game on Indievania and Gamersgate.) There is also a free demo to try out if you’re not convinced–grab that here.
