The thought-to-be-an-April-fools joke is actually real. We're not kidding. We got to play it. Get our impressions the downloadable stand-alone here...
The events of Project Origin promise to bring the player closer – physically and psychologically – to Alma than the flittering twitches its predecessor, FEAR allowed. “You play Michael Beckett,” enthuses John Mulkey, Project Origin’s lead designer. “You’re going in to rescue Aristide, the president of Armacham – the woman who restarted Project Origin and wakened Alma.
