Macworld stands on the precipice…of darkness, rain-slick

Penny Arcade AdventuresMy enviable colleague Peter Cohen has gotten his damn dirty ape-like paws on an early version of the forthcoming first title in the Penny Arcade Adventures series, On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. The RPG-style adventure lets you take the part of a character of your own design, who sets out to take on the mechanical creations wreaking havoc on your neighborhood. Along the way, you’re joined by Penny Arcade characters, such as Gabe and Tycho, in your quest.

We’ve—okay, I’ve—mentioned the game a number of times in the past, but that is only because we anticipate great things from it. It’s being released online for Windows, Linux, and Mac simultaneously, and will run on both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs. Of course, as you might expect from the PA duo, the game merits an “M” for Mature rating, and is aimed at adults, despite its cartoony appearance.
