Another World-inspired adventure The Way sets January release date
Pre-orders will be 20 per cent off.
Earlier this year we covered a retro puzzle platformer called The Way that looked more than a bit like a spiritual successor to Another World or Flashback. Now, having fulfilled its Kickstarter goal, The Way is slated for a 15th January release on PC, Mac and Linux via Steam and GoG.
Developer PlayWay noted that pre-orders will go on sale starting 15th December. Typically the game will go for $14.99 (so about £10), but pre-orders will be 20 per cent off.
