Inspired by 60s pulp sci-fi movies, Albedo: Eyes From Outer Space is a first-person adventure game. As John T. Longy, a night-watchman at a partially abandoned, secret research facility, you are knocked unconscious by a nearby explosion. Waking in the complex’s basement you look up and see a gaping hole in the ceiling. Escaping the damaged building is only the start of your troubles and as you begin to explore the base you encounter strange, unearthly organisms. Is this all because of some sort of biological experiment gone wrong? You’ll need to fight for survival as you unravel the mysteries and solve the problems that lie ahead.
We did a preview on Albedo while the game was still very early in the Steam Early Access program last year. We liked what we got to play and the game offered a strange, surreal first-person puzzle game mixture. It’s a crazy mix of genres and the trippy B-movie style of the whole this is quite unique. We will have a full review when the game officially drops on March 27th. The games creator is equally as odd as this title, but I’ll let him explain his history himself via a bit of the official press release.
“Albedo: Eyes from Outer Space is the work of a solitary man. Fabrizio Zagaglia (aka Z4G0) was born in 1985 in Bologna, Italy. In the late 90s he was kidnapped by a visiting alien race and disappeared for five earth minutes. Subsequently he began to develop video-games on as hobby. Z4G0 was prolific, creating tons of different games; from sports to shoot’em-ups. Z4G0 claims he received a telepathic message from the outer space and began to work on Albedo: Eyes from Outer Space. Thanks to his alien skills, Z4G0 developed the game as one-man-team in less than a two years! Z4G0 likes rock’n’roll, pasta and beer. He’s not so keen on vegetable-like, man-eating creatures but acknowledges their existence.”
If anything, his story is enough to get us interested! Albedo – Eyes from Outer Space is available for PC and Mac on Steam and has a price tag of $14.99.
