This standalone expansion will be available as a digital download for the PC on February 28, 2013.
An augmented reality game that turns the player into a real-life creeper. What could go wrong?
Picking up my pace, trying not to run, but rushing to get safely back home – I glance over my shoulder to see if anything is behind me. I am freaked out. Paranoid. Skittish. I’m not looking for otherworldly critters or anything, I’m worried I might get arrested or -- at best -- confronted by a pissed off neighbor. I’ve been skulking around my neighborhood at odd hours and spending minutes at a time spinning in front of strangers’ homes, occasionally taking pictures. I should be put in the slammer just based on appearances. But really, I’ve just been playing The Hidden and hating every minute.
Why does this game remind me of Firefly?
I’m not sure what it is, but loot-based dungeon crawlers have an unbelievable ability to completely immerse me. I hate to say it, but they’re basically digital crack and I’m completely unable to put them down until I either reach the end of the game or hit the level cap. Borderlands is my latest indulgence, but it has a twist that you wouldn’t usually associate with the genre.
