Loco Parentis / 孤女咒怨 news & patch notes

First 3 hours of mysterious adventure in deceased world starting now! Fourth project of Fair Games. And again we will say that we collected all experience from previous projects to put it into something new. Shortly Noch is an ominous surreal first-person adventure full of dangerous monsters and secrets of the deceased world. But who can tell what is the reason that everything falling apart? Why all you have in your head is that Lisa disappeared and you have to save her no matter what? Is it coincidence? Or maybe the reason is deeper and you have to dig a little and find the Truth? First chapter already available on Steam! Co-op mode for 2 players is included! Link on a project

Take a look at our project Protocol, that also released on Xbox and Playstation! We’ve tried to make life of players easier (at least in Protocol) - Arkanoid mini-game is not so hard anymore - Fixed “speed" of loading AI into the loading module - Take off your clothes! - we fixed burning box - No more Extra wife on test polygone … and improve it as much as we can: - Fixied the position of the (hmm) tit after injection of gray matter - Fixed settings for keyboard and controller layouts .. and added something for us - look for advertising of our projects inside! Your CPU will be fine from now - some game optimization changes: - fixed protagonist uploadings - fixed drone uploading - fixed langoliers uploading Other bug fixes: - Fixed a missing card, but be carefull - you can loose it anyway - Fixed button names in the isolator terminal - Fixed particle system - Fixed the ability to cause a fire again (the roof is on fire!)

It seems that we have jumped over our heads. Fair Games studio's first project Protocol is available for pre-order on Xbox. And on April 30 you can establish contact with an alien life form in a new format. Prepare your controllers! Of course Protocol is still available on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/724490/Protocol/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30439030/c85151c224619be48d7b05e7d109f00b548bb6b8.jpg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCE9Q4WwFhE Loco Parentis (aka Adoption) - is the horror game where you up to help a little girl to find her mother. Everything from the best of horror genre: ugly horrible corridors with dim light, terrible sounds, crazy neighbors, mistic characters which love to appear very suddenly (to make you scare, obviusly). You can go to find mom alone, but we strongly recommend you to take fearless friend in co-op (or a complete coward, depends on what friends you have) So, two good reasons why playing Loco Parentis in co-op are cooler than alone This is funnier (and scarier) It's like Shaggy and Scooby meets swamp monster. Did you ever was locked in limited area full of weird stuff with your best buddy? Good chance to catch him screeching in fear when critter suddenly appears. You can remind him about that till the rest of the life. Be ready for negate side - it statement works in both directions. To research areas together - try to split out to investigate different levels, or you can play bad-guys gang to pass through one appartment at a time using 4 hands and 2 heads (well, we can't say for sure wich way works better). Sсreamers are not always affect both players. Very often one of you will experience deep horror and "enjoy" mystic sounds, while second player will know nothing about that being in relative safity. One thing is for sure - no one will leave the game without been scared More chances for success completion Loco Parentis full of secrets and puzzles. More brains - more gains. You will have better chances to collect all messages, solve puzzles and to find right solutions. Together you will effectively seek and loot batteries and ammo (you will be short of it frequently). Additionally, in single mode you will have less opportunities to escape from the monster, which will lead to your doomed game over. In coops you will be able to scare off or kill the monster, when it already reached your friend and holding him or her in it's claws. Just stop laughing watching your silly buddy dangling in the paws of an unknown creature and take the gun in time
