Whiptail Interactive has

for its latest project, Psychotoxic. The European side of the deal will see Whiptail
Interactive publishing the title in all territories with the exception of Germany, Austria

A
first-person shooter set in 2022 New York City at the time of the arrival of Armageddon, The
Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse is preparing to doom planet Earth. Assuming the role of
heroine Angie Prophet, the player is humanity's last hope, the gatekeeper standing in the
way of this madman's quest to wreak hell on Earth.
The game follows Angie Prophet's
quest as she battles zombies, bad cops and other forces of evil. Discovering herself to be
half-woman, half angel as she progresses through the game, she develops six different
supernatural powers including invisibility, the ability to slow the passage of time and also
to influence other characters by entering their dreams. Played over 21 levels, Prophet's
arsenal of nineteen weapons is set to include revolvers and F.B.G.'s (big
guns!).
Psychotoxic features graphics powered by the Trinigy Vision graphics engine
which allows advanced effects such as per-pixel lighting, self-shadowing and volumetric
fog.
Psychotoxic is slated for a March 2005
release.
