With some truly amazing artwork, the classic-styled point & click adventure game Unforeseen Incidents [Official Site] releases May 24th with same-day Linux support.
What would you do if you stumbled into a conspiracy that could wipe out the entire human race? Unforeseen Incidents will have you uncover the secrets behind an epidemic that's spreading across the country.
Unforeseen Incidents is a classical style interactive mystery set in a beautifully hand-painted world. When small-town handyman Harper Pendrell meets a dying woman in the street, he unwittingly stumbles into a diabolical conspiracy – a mystery only he can solve. An unknown disease is spreading across the country, and between them a scientist, a reporter and a reclusive artist hold the key to stopping it. A perilous journey awaits, and every step brings Harper closer to a cabal of dangerous fanatics. Before he knows it, he finds himself in a fight for the future of humankind armed only with his trusty multi-tool.
The developer told us they were inspired by shows like X-Files and Lost. They also sent along a key to our Steam Curator which sadly downloads nothing right now. I've let them know, so hopefully we can review it properly. Here's the trailer…

Quoting: EikeI'm looking forward for this! Like the topic and the style, and the co-developer and publisher Application Systems Heidelberg did the same for Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet as well. (Just seeing it's for 50% at the moment.)Ah, I knew that name was familiar, thanks for that comment.
@Liam: Will you be writing about it?
