Advent Rising, Desktop Computer

In Advent Rising, a third-person, intergalactic action/adventure, a common legend pervades the galaxy - that of a powerful, ancient race that will one day unite the universe. Millions of cultures from vastly distant worlds revere and hallow these mythological beings known as humans. One race, the Seekers, know humans actually exist and are threatened by their potential power. Under the guise of benevolent explorers, the Seekers travel throughout the galaxy in a desperate attempt to eradicate any human society they unearth. You assume the role of Gideon Wyeth, a remnant of the last human outpost, on the brink of discovering the incredible powers that lay dormant within you. It is these powers the Seekers are so desperate to suppress. Advent Rising has the feel of a fast-paced action movie where you are swept up in an ever-evolving series of sequences and events. The game is built on Epic Games' Unreal Warfare Engine, and as such Advent Rising offers precise, refined play-dynamics with action-packed adventure and style, wrapped in a visually imaginative universe. Advent Rising is the first in an epic trilogy of action/adventure games, scripted by award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card and the decisions that you make in this will impact upon the entire Advent trilogy.
