'Foo' - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 23, 2003 @ 3:02 p.m. PST

Set in ancient China, Foo will challenge you and your competitors to enter palaces and temples before dawn, loot them for as much treasure as you can carry, and escape before the sun rises. Before setting out carefully plan what traps to take with you for your unwitting competitors - but beware, the more trap components you take in the less treasure you'll be able to carry out and the slower you'll move and react to the traps set out by other players. Foo is a unique "sneak, steal and trap-em-up" game of malicious pleasure with gameplay summarized as "Thief" meets "Spy vs. Spy", with the general feel of an animated feature crossed with the comical morbidity and brutality of "Itchy and Scratchy ".

"We really enjoy the feeling of malicious pleasure when seeing an opponent suffer the brutal effects of a trap. They can even be viewed in real-time." Commented Noel Hargrave, Managing Director of Singularity Software, (rather worryingly).

Peter Levin, Managing Director of PAN Vision -the publisher of the game, on the multiplayer mode in Foo - "The randomised architectural engine makes the multiplayer mode unique and less dependent on prior gaming experience."

"We are happy to join forces with Singularity Software on Foo. They really understand our intentions with the game, and I am confident that their dedication to the product is as strong as ours", says Johan Sjoberg, Executive Director of Idol FX.
