Dead Cyborg Brings Excitement, At First

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for
this link. ]

“The early screenshots looked great and the story line was
intriguing. I guess Dead Cyborg could be described as a first
person adventure puzzle game “about the meaning of life… and
death… in a rusty post-apocalyptic metal and concrete world.” I
love first person games: shooters, adventures, horror, puzzle…
The game itself is available as a tarball of binaries or, it is
said, one can run it in their browser. I didn’t have much luck with
that.

“Installation is easy, just unpack it. There is a readme with
some important information, so read that. Interestingly, 32- and
64-bit versions are included in the one tarball as well as
additional startup scripts for those using Pulseaudio and choices
between fullscreen or windowed. I had to install Blender (it’s
developed in Blender) and soft link a libjpeg file (a hack most
developers cringe at), but then it started and ran well.”
