Welcome to LifeNET social network. Cthulhu wants to be your friend.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse, an intriguing action puzzler mixing physics-based challenges with an involving Sci-Fi story and some Cthulhu mythos for good measure, is available 15% off for pre-orders on GOG.com. That's only $16.99 until Thursday, June 20, at 9:59AM GMT, when the game is expected to arrive.

It all began with Mr. Gruckezber and his tremendously popular LifeNET social network. The total addiction of millions turned into a huge commercial success and laid the foundation of the international giant--the Gruckezber corporation. The network gained importance over the years, becoming the world's default communication system and networking platform. Gruckezber's ambitions didn't stop at that. Around the year 2050 the Gruckezber Magtech deep space research and exploration program was unveiled. You've been selected to test the revolutionary Magtech Glove device but what began as scientific research soon transforms into a perilous journey, as you're suddenly transported to a parallel dimension. A dimension where ancient madness lurks beyond time.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse takes you on a fantastic adventure filled with brilliant physics-based puzzles, mysteries, risk, and breathtaking views. The magnetic mechanics behind the Magtech Glove are quite simple to understand, but not that easy to master. This allows for some very original and challenging level design, that goes perfectly with the game's twisted story. Splicing together ideas that seemingly don't have much in common, this game creates an amazing experience you won't soon forget. If you like your action/puzzles with a pinch of crazy and a whole lot of awesome, make sure not to miss this amazing upcoming title, that will put both your brains and your reflexes to a test!

Reserve your LifeNET account right now and prepare to jump right in the twisted futuristic world of Magrunner: Dark Pulse, for only $16.99 on GOG.com. The pre-order discount offer is available until approximately Thursday, June 20, at 9:59AM GMT.
Interesting game, will keep a eye on it

Maybe frogwares will even recycle some of the 3D models they did for that Holmes vs Cthulhu game.
Looking at the game I was hoping it might just be lots of physics puzzles and such. Then it looks like it might be more then a gentle stroll in a fairground.

I will wait until others have taken the leap with this one, does look good though.
Look a bit like Q.U.B.E to me. Still I liked Q.U.B.E and Portal so maybe I'll like this. I won't pre-order as these days it seems to be a bad idea (Aliens CM, Diablo 3, Sim City Omerta) But if I here good things I might pick it up. Any chance for a Q&A with the devs?

Fenixp: I'm going to continually inform you of how awesome it is via PM when I get it.
You instigator! :D
Game looks really good, although my machine is also a bit below the specs (2.0 GHz), I´ll buy the game anyway - I wanna support creators - plus I´ll buy a new PC eventually...

Wishbone: That looks so much like Portal. Looks good though, and the Cthulhu Mythos is a great concept to explore in a game, if done right.
Because the Cthulhu Mythos is so underutilized in games.

Done right, it is ;-)
This game will also appear on Linux. Until GOG gives me that version as well, I won't pre-order here.
The game looks very interesting though.

Frogwares? Great! I hope to see the later Sherlock games on GOG as well (Jack the Ripper, The Awakened, The Testament of Sherlock Holmes, Nemesis)
Jack The Ripper was really good, I have never played Nemesis or the Testament.
The Awakened is another Ctulhu-themed game. It has it's moments, but there are also some rather boring scenes as well imo.

grviper: Just re-read the description and remove every single generic PR word from it.

That still leaves you with the word "Cthulhu", which IMHO is still pretty awesome ;-)

Off topic. Tell TET we'd like an E3 recap when he gets back. Or we'll introduce him to our friendly Cthulhu ;)
This looks awesome and I am heavily tempted to do the preorder.

Someone talk me into/out of it?
Is it just me or does the narrator sound like David Warner? Either way, I want this, it looks friggin awesome.
Screen shots look interesting. Looking forward to reading the reviews on this game.
This game very excited.
