Invisible City Productions

The Isle of Doctor Necreaux · 19 May 09

After many, many years of creative effort and work, the first commercial release of an Invisible City game is almost here! Alderac Entertainment Group has announced The Isle of Doctor Necreaux. It’s a cooperative card-based adventure game for one to five players set in a Flash Gordon-style future.

Doctor Necreaux has several design elements that I’m particularly pleased with. I like the character creation mechanic, the speed-vs-threat mechanic, and the way you don’t automatically get every item you find (the item queue mechanic).

I’m also very pleased with the artwork on the cards. The character cards are all appropriately heroic, and the monsters are full of menace and style.

Woot!
