Helsinki, Finland – October 5th, 2015 – Virtual reality studio Mindfield Games today revealed the alternate history timeline and a new gameplay trailer behind P·O·L·L·E·N™,its first person virtual reality launch game set on Titan, the sixth and largest moon of Saturn. The alternate historical reality of P·O·L·L·E·N begins after President Kennedy survives a failed assassination, and NASA and Soviet space scientists combine their research to build a permanent base on the moon. In addition, the studio also announced that the Steam community can now vote for P·O·L·L·E·N with the launch of the Steam Greenlight campaign. To pledge support for P·O·L·L·E·N visit: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=527788650
“P·O·L·L·E·N is a strikingly beautiful first-person psychological thriller where everything is interactive. All the objects and machines you see can be lifted or operated, some have secondary actions or even hidden features” said Olli Sinerma, Co-Founder of Mindfield Games. “The game has been optimized to offer the definitive first person experience at the launch of consumer VR – however, we are most excited about how the players will react to the story and uncover the mystery of Research Station M”.
Inspired by science-fiction classics Solaris, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Moon, as well as adventure games Gone Home and The Dig, P·O·L·L·E·N is a first-person space exploration game set on Titan, the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere and vast liquid seas, where life may exist. P·O·L·L·E·N. places the player inside the suit and helmet of a space mechanic in a fully interactive world where each object has a functionality and action.
The alternate history of P·O·L·L·E·N begins in 1963, after the failed assassination of President Kennedy. NASA and Soviet space researchers begin to work together and in the 70’s establish a permanent base on the moon. Space technology keeps advancing at a booming rate, with inventions like anti-gravity making it possible to lift objects cheaply into orbit. Rama Industries is one of many pioneering organizations expanding the human frontier. Despite occasional hardships, they push forward and search for new opportunities in space. Most recently, the findings on the Saturnian moon Titan have proven to be particularly interesting, where the research of Station “M” has taken the spotlight. A five person research team has been working at “M” for one year, expanding the base and making wondrous discoveries until two months ago, when one of the technicians went missing in a work related accident, requiring a replacement.
Can you uncover the secrets of Titan?
P·O·L·L·E·N, will be coming to PC in Early 2016 and will support HTC Vive, OSVR, Oculus Rift and traditional display. Later in the year P·O·L·L·E·N will also be available for PlayStation 4 and supports PlayStation VR.

People everywhere are encouraged to put their best rotting foot forward by taking fun, family-friendly selfies in their favorite places and sharing them on social media with #IAmFrightFest.
“People just have a tremendous love for Halloween – getting dressed up and scary, and being out and about in character to share in the fun that the holiday creates. I think the zombie culture as a whole is widely appealing to every age and demographic…everyone loves zombies, adults and children alike, so why not share this love of Halloween and the spirit of Six Flags Fright Fest with others on social media,” said Jason Meehan, founder of the New Jersey Zombie Walk, one of the largest walks of its kind in the world.
Walking a dog, washing a car or posing in front of a local landmark—typical, “normal” activities have a frightfully fun twist when dressed as a zombie. Participants are encouraged to wear tattered or imitation blood-splattered clothing and makeup in a variety of colors including red, white, black, purple and green. Photos should be family-friendly and free of images or words that could be considered inappropriate, vulgar or offensive. Participants should adhere to all local, state and federal laws and photograph only in safe locations.

Uncover the tragic events that lead to the downfall of a civilization, and fight for your life as the broken citizens of Eden defend their home against your intrusion.

Wield and customize an array of modular equipment to defend yourself and explore the environment. Utilize an immersive UI that incorporates full body awareness, where the player’s involvement in the world is never broken.

Every decision has consequences in Eden.
Can you survive the future?

September 30, 2015 – You wake up on a spaceship, dazed and confused from the effects of cryosleep, and begin to search for the rest of the crew. Where could they have gone? All too suddenly, you discover that most of them are dead, and those still alive are… changed.
Watch the trailer now on YouTube:
With Syndrome, Camel 101 takes first person survival horror back to its roots. In the dark confines of the ship, defending yourself is difficult and not always possible. There are a few weapons scattered about, but nowhere near enough ammunition to deal with all the transformed monstrosities.
To survive and uncover the events that took place while you were asleep, you can’t always face your enemies head on; sometimes hiding and breathing as noiselessly as possible is your best course of action.
Careful resource management is a key part of Syndrome, but so is learning your enemies’ behavior. What will attract their attention? What will give you a few precious seconds to pass by undetected? Take note―each misstep could be deadly.
Main Features
Camel 101 is pleased to partner with Bigmoon Entertainment on Syndrome, out Q2 2016 for Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4, Mac, and Linux.
