Technobabylon from Technocrat Games was a fine old-school adventure title that delved into cyberpunk mysteries. Several years later, a sequel is finally coming with Technobabylon: Birthright. Published by Wadjet Eye Games of Unavowed fame, the sequel is perhaps most notably doing away with the 2D look and going fully 3D.

Technocrat’s Dave Gilbert said that the sequel has been in development for “a while now”. He later noted that the shift to 3D lets players “see” the characters, especially since they’re the main draw of the adventure, in his view. It should be interesting to see how the game’s story-telling and atmosphere translates over in the process.

If you haven’t played the original Technobabylon, then you can pick it up on Steam for $14.99. It’s set in the year 2087, where human interaction is all but dead, and an AI called Central polices the entire population. There are several leading characters, such as Charlie Regis, an agent of Central’s police force, who’s facing blackmail; Latha Sesame, an agoraphobic Trance addict who’s being threatened with assassination; and Max Lao, a new Central officer who must hunt down her friend and former partner in crime.

Wadjet Eye Games and Josh Nuerenberger’s game Gemini Rue is now available on iOS and it’s a point and click adventure game. The game is available for $3.99 right now on the iOS but that’s discounted for a short while and will cost $4.99 after two weeks.

“Discover a world where life is cheap, identities are bought and sold, and a simple quest for redemption can change the fate of a whole galaxy,” the official description of the game reads.

The trailer shows how the game works and some great voice acting as well. The iOS version features larger-in-game icons and text, the combat system has been redesigned, and also has a hotspot finder to minimse pixel-hunting, along with original game’s optional developer commentary.

So what do you think of the game? The trailer below gives you an idea of what to expect.

Primordia is new point-and-click adventure that combines the challenge and depth of the classics with a streamlined interface and a player-friendly design: puzzles emphasize logical thinking and exploration, rather than trial and error or endless backtracking and is developed by Wormwood Studios and is scheduled for a Q4 2012 release.

 The game features over fifty hand-drawn rooms to explore, dozens of distinctive characters and complex machines to interact with, and gorgeous painted cutscenes to soak in.

Ages have passed since legendary Man walked the planet. Now, in the desolate wastelands beyond the city of Metropol, a solitary robot named Horatio jealously guards his freedom and independence. All that is taken away from him when a marauding foe steals his power source, forcing him to leave the safety of his home and set out on a perilous journey into the wastes – and into his own mysterious past.

We also have a new trailer from the game which you can check out below.
