Earlier, wrote an article about a game called Metronome and posted a trailer. Thanks to a link provided by commenter, Psychotext, I was able to check out a page on the game on creator, Tarsier Studios' website. There's more about the plot here and while it's not much, gives us at least a little more information on a game I'd like to see more of. There are also several screenshots that look pretty amazing and remind me a bit of American McGee's Alice.

In the game, you take on the role of a young train conductor. You get to venture into the city of Metronome, a sprawling mass of haphazardly built houses and huge steam engines where the outlandish inhabitants are carrying out their chores day and night. A city where the life of every citizen is dictated by the Corporation, a single bureaucratic entity that owns all the land, the entire infrastructure and all the industries.

Explore winding alleys, skewed rooftops and crowded apartment buildings as you search for proof of the Corporations secret agenda, all while listening for sounds to record.

The game's full title is actually The City of Metronome and according to Tarsier's website, although they still haven't found a publisher, the game is indeed still being worked on. The website update and new trailer I mentioned earlier were announced on the site around mid December so hopefully we will see more soon.

If any of the major publishers out there are listening, many of us would like to see more games of this ilk on our new generation consoles. Less shooting, more thinking. Flynn De Marco
