Where They Cremate The Roadkill

About this game

A thread of three lives confront the personification of appearances as it grows from larva to adult.

At the dead-end of the future a telepath assists the embodiment of insanity and is marooned in the mind of a flea.

In the primeval past one quadruped forages for food as a sentient cancer swallows the last of Earth's living tissue.

Between the present's many crossroads a jobless coolie that cannot die kills for rebellion and revenge.

All this as a desire for sleep returns in the heart of existence.

Where They Cremate The Roadkill features in brief:

• -A populating cast of more than 700 unique characters
  
• -Few if any repeated assets with underlayers of content ensconced in half of every corner
  
• -Over 700 hand drawn landscapes
  
• -A fully animated interactive world where even shop vendors and ground worms can be targeted for a fight
  
• -Four playable incarnations of outsiders with visually distinguished chapters
  
• -A musical score of 132 tracks with themes converted from the protein sequences of nematodes (genetic music)
  
• -Dialogue excised from near death accounts, bathroom graffiti, sensory deprivation tanks, witch trials, monastic exegesis and out of body experiences
  
• -Open Exploration with real-time combat
  
• -The death of novelty and an option to assassinate the Illuminati
  
• -Fungivores, Crumb Keepers and Rockings Sharks
  
• -Structurally anomalous, experimentally driven story and gameplay
  
• -The notion that--when the real world is transformed into mere images...mere images become real beings-

  Patch 2.4

  A rather important update went live today. This build corrects all known matters and in particular addresses strangeness with the phone-related features. Additionally, players can now access the Astral Body, Command Manual and Chat Cat screens from the item menu. The Mac version of this patch should appear within the week. Well wishes and season tidings https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30650608/713785fec6de8425e0b4110760d7a76d2feed7c0.jpg

  Now on Mac + Patch 2.3

  As of tonight the Mac port is downloadable. Interestingly the port appears to perform better than its Windows counterpart in some regards. Our testing showed the game working at a distinctly higher frame rate and the monitor's colors and size seem better adjusted for its visuals. In other news the build is current with patch 2.3. This patch addresses all known issues hitherto communicated in the forums. From this point it is unlikely future versions will be frequent. Peace and thanks for your patience!
