Software Announces Geneforge 5: Overthrow for Windows and Macintosh
Spiderweb Software, Inc. announced
today the upcoming release of Geneforge 5: Overthrow for Windows and Macintosh,
the final game in the epic, award-winning Geneforge series. Geneforge 5 is set
in the land of the Shapers, a secretive sect of wizards with the ability to
create new life to serve them. Then their servants rebelled, and their whole
world slid into ruin. Play a lone traveler in this strange land and fight to
bring an end to this war. End the reign of the Shapers. Or, if you choose, join
them and destroy the rebels once and for all.
The Shapers have the ability to
create life in any form they choose. They can make living tools that obey their
commands, plants that can flourish in the harshest wasteland, and powerful
monsters to crush all who oppose them. The Shapers ruled the known lands, and
any who tried to rebel or learn their magical secrets were destroyed.
But then their creations rebelled.
Working with humans jealous of their masters, they stole the secrets of the
Shapers and created their own armies. They created and unleashed new, even more
powerful creations and matched the Shapers in savagery. And now, years into the
rebellion, the war has settled into a gruesome stalemate. The lands are
scorched, and city after city falls.
The two sides are so delicately
balanced that one brave warrior can turn the tide. Will you help the rebels
overthrow the Shapers? Will you help the Shapers regain their power, tempted by
the incredible rewards they offer? You might be able to end this war. Which side
will you choose?

Geneforge 5: Overthrow has a huge,
open storyline. You can choose to serve one of five different factions, each of
which has its own path to bring the war to an end. There are dozens of different
endings and paths to victory. Help the rebels or fight them. Kill your opponents
or use stealth and diplomacy. Focus on the storyline or simply seek wealth and
carnage. No matter how you play, Geneforge 5 offers an epic adventure with
plenty of replay value.
