The Incident vs Ruby's Realms

THE INCIDENT is a fast-paced, retro-style action game. Run, dodge and jump your way to safety as an angry rain of just about everything in the world falls and builds a mountain of platforms for you to climb up, up… up to the source of it all: the cause of THE INCIDENT. "This iPhone/iPad game is really great - get it! $2. It makes me laugh every time I play it." —John Romero, Designer of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake. "A game you pick up quickly, but can't put back down." —Engadget "Gaming's Most Charming Vision of the Apocalypse" —Gizmodo "The controls work well, the graphics look cool, it's universal from the get go, and I really dig the whole concept behind the game." —Touch Arcade "Terrific little indie games like this are what make the iPhone platform really shine." —TUAW THE INCIDENT is easy to pick up but hard to master. It's a totally new gameplay concept and it's perhaps TOO addictive. It's loaded with power-ups, power-downs (d'oh!) and collectables. THE INCIDENT is a universal app that runs great on any iPhone or iPod touch, and on iPad. Buy once, play anywhere!

Story So Far: Ruby finds herself in a shadowy, unknown land, her mind clouded with fragmented memories of the past and no clue how she arrived. She faintly recalls a desperate search for her mother, who vanished under strange and unexplained circumstances when Ruby was just a small child. Driven by that haunting mystery, she had stepped through a portal tucked beneath the ancient fortress of Vianden, a crumbling stronghold whispered to be cursed with tales of witchcraft and dark, forbidden magic. The air hangs heavy with an unnatural mist, and eerie symbols flicker faintly on the walls, glowing with a life of their own. As Ruby takes in her strange surroundings, a hooded figure emerges on a flickering screen, its face swallowed by shadows. A voice, cold and echoing as if from some otherworldly abyss, speaks: "Welcome, Ruby. Your destiny awaits." A chill grips her heart, and with a growing sense of dread, Ruby knows her journey has only just begun—dark secrets of this realm lie in wait, ready to be unraveled... ------- Discover a Cursed World of Mystery and Magic Awaken as Ruby in a shadowy realm where ancient portals hide dark secrets.
