Dead Strange by Psytronik Software

Psytronik Software presents PRECINCT 20:Dead Strange, a beautifully crafted new release for the Commodore 64 from accomplished game designer Alf Yngve, based on his novel by the same name.  In this incredibly atmospheric horror-themed game you must solve a series of ritual murders carried out by an evil cult. Featuring moody noir-esque graphics, genuinely unsettling gameplay (you never know what is going to jump out of the shadows at you!) superb music by Richard Bayliss that really sets the scene – complete with screams and eerie heartbeats, this is possibly Alf’s finest release to date!

PRECINCT 20:DEAD STRANGE is also available to order in the following formats for the C64:- The PREMIUM PLUS DISK EDITION of the game is presented on a 5.25″ floppy disk with full colour double-sided artwork in a clear plastic disk case. This version includes a printed instruction booklet. The BUDGET DISK EDITION features a 5.25″ floppy disk presented in a full colour glossy disk-sleeve with a glossy disk label and printed instruction booklet. The TAPE version is presented in a single cassette case with a full colour glossy inlay card.
