The pre-orders can be made directly from the game's website www.afterfall-universe.com. Once the company's target goal is achieved Afterfall: InSanity will be distributed among the p2p (peer 2 peer) networks such as Torrent. Additionally, 10% of the revenues will be donated to one of the largest charity organisations in the world. However, if the number of pre-orders does not reach the 10 million copy sales target, then the revenue collected will be donated to the charity in its entirety.
Besides the game itself, players will receive the soundtrack as an added bonus, and those who will register their order will immortalized as part of the game by having their names included as part of the credits.
Nicolas Games is throwing down the gauntlet to the whole industry. “As an independent distributor we can afford to try starting a revolution. Being absolute game fanatics ourselves, we want to prove that high-class games do not have to be associated with high price tags. Our goal is to attract players from all over the world and offer them a great deal; if we can get 10 million people to buy our game we will sell it for just 1 dollar. I strongly believe that this news will electrify the whole market and together we will set a new record,” Tomasz Majka, the CEO of Nicolas Games said.
Afterfall: InSanity is the first title created by Nicolas Games SA, based in Katowice, Poland and is a survival horror game set in the post-apocalyptic Afterfall universe – in a world exhausted by the Third World War. The story-line begins in 2035 when the protagonist, psychiatrist Albert Tokaj makes a desperate attempt to leave the shelter inhabited by the nuclear war survivors.
While I agree that it’s a bold move on these guys’ part, I really think that the 10 million pre-orders target sounds a little bit too optimistic. Still, it’s charity and it’s just one dollar, so I encourage you to throw that couple of coins on that end-table at them. Who knows – maybe they’ll hit the mark in a month and a half as they want to.
The worldwide launch of the digital-download version of Afterfall: InSanity will take place on November 25th, from that moment on players will be allowed to download the game before its actual premiere with the use of a special downloader created by the Tro Media Company from Wroclaw in Poland.
