Cool game but it's too hard....
I'm looking forward to the hardcore difficulty and profound plot, did you release open source for this game?
Pretty cool! The movement is a little clunky though. And the faces only have 2 face movements, but aside from that, Its great!
"Black Out" is a TDS stealth/horror game that takes place about 200 years in our future...
Humanity has colonised the solar system and established bases on most of the major moons of the gas giants, as well as Mars and Earth´s Moon. This is due to the advances in A.I., nano-technology, and the politically stable system-wide government. This collection of colonies (and Earth itself) is known as The Commonwealth and since it´s beginnings 150 years ago it has brought peace and stability to the human race... Almost. There are still small pockets of dissent and revolution and so The Auditry, a small but powerful department within The Commonwealth government, has its Assessors to quietly and discreetly keep a lid on things.
You play the role of an Assessor about to undertake the toughest assignment of his career... an assignment where you will discover your past, discover the truth about The Auditry, and discover the future planned for the1 5 billion people that currently live in The Commonwealth...

WEAPONS
Knife - Good against animals and for stealth kills
Pistol - Small and only good when you have nothing else!
Flechettes - Will put any organic enemies to sleep for a short while
Beamer - deactivates robots and other electronic enemies
Shotgun - Good at close range
Grenade Launcher - Powerful but difficult to aim
Sniper Rifle - Gives an expanded view and is VERY powerful, but takes a long time to load
Cryo Canon - This is only good against organic enemies which it freezes. This makes them vulnerable to other attacks
SPECIAL ITEMS
Cloaking Device - Allows you to pass un-seen infront of human enemies and camaras (animals and robots no!)
Spider Mine - This is a robotic mine that lies in wait for the enemy and then follows them until exploding on contact
Holo Projector - Creates a holographic image of yourself that will confuse the enemy and draw their fire allowing your escape

Take your time! There are many subtle traps and different ways to do things in the game.

Don´t forget your knife! It will save you ammunition for more powerful enemies. In many situations there are alternative ways to do something.
