THE GAME
The Angel Devil Machine
"Game-Novel" Experience
Imagine the excitement of the traditional graphic novel series, in the tradition of Heavy Metal Magazine, Epic Illustrated, Schuiten-Peeters, and Neil Gaiman - but one that you can walk through.
One that you can explore.
Imagine a desktop computer game adventure that WON'T require months of dedicated play time (or terabytes of hard drive space).
Imagine 15 minute computer game adventures, released in series, with massive exploration replay potential, serialized into an epic and evolving universe. Something to always look forward to, that continually surprises and challenges you.

THE MISSION
To explore the synthesis of mythic dreams, dark electronic music, and the new medium of computer game design...
Since before recorded history, we would tell and hear stories. Epic tales of adventure and mystery, reflecting against our everyday human condition. Always, new meaning found in a shared sense of wonder.
Stories became pictures. Pictures accompanied sounds, and then words, and music - then written to share again and again.
The aural medium, to the literary medium and artistic traditions, to the medium of stage, to them medium of film, and now to...
The GAME medium.
ANGEL DEVIL MACHINE and the BARON MARCUS PROJECT is a bold and ambitious journey to explore epic storytelling through music and the computer game medium.
