Empathy is a point and click adventure game with emphasis on storytelling and exploration. A game about emotions, good intentions and desperate measures, where you embark on a journey through the last moments of a dying world and discover its story and wonders. It is being developed in UDK for a PC release. It isn't your ordinary point and lick filled with jokes (as much as I love classics like monkey island) but features a serious and engaging theme sen in an atmospheric world. We have a passion for creating a game that isn't just for fun, but has a message behind it, a morale. That does not prevent us however to make the gameplay engaging and interesting.
