About This Game Based on an award-winning Italian pen and paper RPG, Sine Requie: Snake Eyes is a Horror-Thriller roleplaying game with survival elements. It revolves around the investigations of Inquisitor Rossano Mazzoni and its hunt against a secretive heretic cult in a post-apocalyptic 1954 Tuscany, in which the Dead rose to feed on the living.Will you annihilate the new heretic cult: the Snake Eyes?The storyOn the 6th of June 1944, in the day that everyone knows as the D-Day, the world felt into the darkness of hell. On Judgement Day the Dead begun their hunt against mankind. It is the year 1954, the world has become a pile of crumbles, where the few survivors try resist the hunger of the Dead. Few nations, held by cruel dictatorships, are left intact. The darkest future that mankind could imagine turned into the most monstrous reality. This is the world of Sine Requie. What was once a country named Italy, today is the Sanctum Imperium, a firm theocracy ruled by Pope Leo XIV. The Roman Church took absolute power, turning these lands into an anachronistic place, where armoured Templars and horse-mounted Inquisitors parade the streets side-by-side with cars. Here the population lives left behind, immersed in obscurantism, hidden within the walls of their fortified towns. In the hope of surviving the grasp of the Dead, societies manically persecute the heretics, who are considered the emissaries of the Devil, sent among us to defeat the Justs in the day of the Apocalypse.Game Features A story full of plot twistsLead an inquisitorial team in their hunt against an heretical cult, racing against the clock. Your choices will change the story and the lives of those you will meet. Each chapter boasts more than seven different endings: how will you use the power you hold? Will you be able to stop the mysterious demonic ritual threatening the Imperium's order? How many innocents are you willing to sacrifice? An Imperium to exploreTravel across an alternate 50s Italy, portrayed through beautiful 3D maps inspired by those years' artwork. Investigate, split the team in order to cover more leads at the same time. How will you overcome the obstacles on your path? Game system based on TarotsThe good or bad outcome of each character's action will depend on his abilities but also on the whims of fate. Draw cards from the Tarot deck and face your destiny, be it favorable or else. Careful: each card you draw will not reappear until the deck itself is reshuffled. Stategic management of resourcesSnake Eyes is a survival game, where each resource is scarce and valuable. Your characters will need to rest, eat, and also keep madness at bay along this nightmarish journey. Do mind, however, that time is the most precious of resources. There is no rest from DeathEach battle can be the last for your characters, thanks to a simple but brutal turn-based strategic system. You will also need to keep an eye on the victims of your brutality, as in Sine Requie whoever dies will awaken. ALWAYS. Your fallen comrades will come back, and each victory may turn into defeat. Cycle of day and nightDays and nights will slowly but inexorably alternate, changing the appearance of the world and your interactions with it. 6d5b4406ea Title: Sine Requie: Snake EyesGenre: Adventure, Indie, RPGDeveloper:We Were UVPublisher:We Were UVRelease Date: To Be Announced Sine Requie: Snake Eyes Download Exe sine requie snake eyes. sine requie snake eyes kickstarter. sine requie snake eyes demo Dev Blog: Smoke and Mirrors: Greetings, Inquisitors! At the end of our past dev-blog, we were left with the question: "Are videogames doomed to linear and unchanging stories?"Today we'll tell you about the tricks and stratagems we employed to give as much freedom as possible to Sine Requie Snake Eyes' players. Normally, each state within a story represents a constant: a static element which can be visited by a player provided they make the right choices.Let's take a traditional printed gamebook: each choice leads to a numbered paragraph, and each of these paragraphs is in fact a state-constant. When it comes to videogames, however, we can make use of variables that will allow us to increase the number of possible outcomes without having to generate an unwieldy number of states in our graph.Photos are taken from the game book of Lone Wolf written by Joe Dever (1984). Photos owned by the Museum of Computer Adventure Game History http://mocagh.org/loadpage.php?getgame=lonewolf1cGame variables are elements that can change depending on several conditions, such as the hour of day, the group's health, or even previous choices that the player has made over the course of the story. Part of a state-consequence must be constant, but it can contain variable elements in order to better conform to whatever choices have been made by the player.Let's take the following example, where the player selects Vilma and orders her to search a dark room in which a Dead is hiding. This action implies the drawing of a Tarot card. Let's say the Lover tarot has been drawn: the consequence created will be as follows."Vilma stepped towards the room's door, eyes searching the deep darkness. She had sensed a movement inside. Perhaps because of her tension, perhaps because of the noise caused by her companions, she noticed the Dead far too late: she had to fight. Vilma could only blame Rodolfo for this."Most of this text is the constant part of this state, this never changes.The text in bold varies based on which character performs the action.The text in Underline is a variable too, and is based on the number of characters in the group.The text in italic is a consequence of the Tarot drawn, the Lovers, which represents how another member of the group is responsible for the failure. This operation allows us to tailor the game experience based on the player's choices, even for the darkest of outcomes: each character may die, but the story will still go on.Over the course of the coming weeks we will explain how this method forced us to fix the possible Butterfly Effects that were created by alternate timelines, an operation named "Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Stuff".. Dev Blog: The Inquisition is always listening: “...quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotens possit diruere.”Dear brothers and sisters,As loyal servants of the Inquisition, we passed these silent months listening.We released the one hour demo for free on different platforms, reaching many players that gave us interesting feedbacks. We are now using those great ideas to polish Sine Requie: Snake Eyes. We collected feedbacks on three channels: comments on forums and social networks playthrough videos on YouTube and Twitch articles on blogs and magazinesThe audience generally welcomed the title warmly: most of the feedback was positive, as players, in general, seemed to appreciate both story and gameplay. However, analyzing the data we could still find a few issues: the user interface of a few game features is difficult to understand some dialogues are too long and convoluted, giving players the feeling to be trapped in an infinite loop the combat system, while enjoyable, suffers from a lack of animations, that feels still and detached from the in-game action.These feedbacks are valuable to polish the game, giving the development team a path to follow to make the game better.Rejoice, we listened!Tremble in fear, our answer is coming!. Dev Blog: Save System: In Sine Requie, to valorize players choices, the game auto-saves every time a narrative section is over. In case of the Inquisitor Mazzoni unfortunate departure, your adventure will re-start a step before the fatal one. Moreover, multiple chapters compose the story and it is always possible to load back at the start of the current one, at least at lower difficulty settings...Patch Notes:The Inquisition is admired by the perseverance of all players and content creators who bravely played the Demo up to the end without any save game option!- Added SaveGame system to the Demo. Note that restarting the current chapter means to start a new game ( the Demo is one chapter only!)- Added possibility to change language at any point in the game- Added audio general volume- Small bug fixes. Dev Blog: Cinema & spaghetti: Movies, just like paintings, were quite the source of inspiration for Sine Requie: Snake Eyes. Many plot elements and characters have been influenced by Italian horror movies from the 70s, such as Dario Argento's "Profondo Rosso" and "Suspiria" along with Pupi Avati's "La Casa Dalle Finestre Che Ridono", on which the map for Sant'Ezechiele was based (this is the village visited during the demo). The picture below shows the character Don Avati alongside the priest from "La Casa Dalle Finestre Che Ridono" played by Eugene Walter.The game's soundtrack was inspired by legendary master Ennio Morricone, especially the tense duels from "A Fistful of Dollars" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" which you can find in the video below: https://www.youtube.com/embed/aJCSNIl2PlsAnd here's the music from Sine Requie Snake Eyes https://soundcloud.com/luca-bellini-839032297/faces-of-evil. Dev Blog: Map Genesis: Good day to you, Inquisitors!This week our Dev-blog will not tackle the second part of our "Choices and Consequences" post, but rather engage in a little digression concerning the creation of game maps!These days we are working on the map for one of the main locations in "Sine Requie: Snake Eyes": the city of Florence, where our true adventure will begin. We asked our programmer (which we suspect of being an heretic - take his statements with a grain of salt!), to explain the details of his witchcraft in an understandable way!"Creating a map is a step-by-step process. First of all we decide on the actual layout of the area (this step was easy, since Florence is described in the book Sine Requie: Sanctum Imperium). Then we create all the locations that the inquisitorial team will be able to visit and explore, and each of them has a unique marker assigned to it. Finally, we create a network of connections that will allow the group to travel between locations.Now, Florence is basically already playable! Well, it's missing the fancy graphics, but those are always the last step!"Well then, we'll see you next week with our Dev-Blog "Graphs, Trees and Ineluctable Fate". Fun, happy stuff!. Dev-Blog: Encounters on your Journey: We are currently working on adding random encounters! While encounters at key locations will be strictly tied to your choices, some adventures (or misadventures) may take place at non-predetermined moments anywhere on the map.Be it a providential encounter with an herbalist monk, a sudden storm across the mountains or a brigand ambush, you'll not be left without surprises on your journey. Each game will change depending on your choices and the whims of fate!. Dev Blog: Difficulty: In order to cater to the needs of different players, Sine Requie Snake Eyes features four different difficulty levels, each coming with added horror and despair."Story Mode" is for players who simply want to enjoy story and exploration without (too many) worries: the game will give you plenty of time for each chapter and your group will find plenty of resources.The "There is No Mercy" difficulty level will slightly reduce time and resources, while playing at the the two highest difficulties ("Only Blind Rage" and "Death at Last") will mean that a single mistake might cause a dreaded Game Over.Difficulty is about more than just time and resources, however: the save system will be affected as well. Up to "There is No Mercy" difficulty you will be able to reload your game from the last checkpoint, while "Only Blind Rage" will force you to go back to the beginning of the current chapter, and "Death at Last" will pull no punches, forcing you to restart the game from its very beginning..
