Perils of Man is a classic graphic adventure game with striking 3D animations, challenging puzzles and a moving story that will leave you pondering its profound implications.

Perils of Man reboots the beloved classic adventure genre with a refreshing blend of 3rd/1st person gameplay, striking 3D animations, challenging puzzles and a captivating story that catapults players into a hidden world of time-travel, global catastrophe and personal triumph.

Imagine getting a glimpse into the secret clockwork of the universe. Imagine a machine that can crack the code of destiny and give you the power to tinker with fate. Imagine discovering that for generations your family has concealed this power from the outside world. Ana Eberling may only be a teenager, but she is about to confront the biggest questions of life as she tries to solve the mystery of her father Max Eberling, a rogue scientist who vanished when she was just a little girl.

Perils of Man is the result of a collaboration between ex-LucasArts’ Bill Tiller and Gene Mocsy and Swiss developing studio IF Games. Initially a sponsored project, setting the grounds for a remarkable high-quality production, Perils of Man found its way back to its indie creators who are now working with experienced game developer Vertigo Games (Adam's Venture, World of Diving, Skyworld) to expand the enthralling universe of time traveling protagonist Ana beyond the iOS platform for a wider audience to enjoy on PC and Mac.

"After tremendous feedback from players and press in 2014 and by popular request, we decided to develop a desktop version of Perils of Man. With the help of our friends at Vertigo Games, who completed the critical last phase of development, we are now in the position to launch the PC and Mac versions as well as the full iOS version. We are grateful for the support and understanding that our community has shown us these past months." said Mike Huber of IF Games.
