Original Story
Developers Tequila Entertainment have announced a new Xbox Live Arcade title, Deadlight, which will be exclusive to the platform.

While precious little details have been released about the game, the developer calls the title a "cinematic puzzle platformer" in an "apocalyptic world where existence is futile."

The title is being published by Microsoft Game Studios and is slated for a summer release.

Honestly, this is more info than we got when Bioware released a single screenshot ahead of the VGAs (that didn't even wind up being for a 360 game!). We at least know the genre, developer, publisher, platform, and a release window!

Guys, go check X360A for screens of this game, looks pretty interesting; like a disturbing, twisted Shadow Complex. I'm guessing that TA is going to post these three screens as its own separate "article" to flaunt the news feed...

So tired of hearing and seeing "apocalyptic world where existence is futile." or damn zombie games being rehashed out the ass.Can no one be creative anymore? Getting to be a bit burnt out on all these games that are not even original anymore..will pass

The premise sounds intriguing but with so few details, why even bother?

You need to get the screenshots up on here. Looks awesome!

Note the three updates on the front page now. :)

Life would be sooo much easier if everything always arrived in the same package, hehe.

Vorpal Smilodon - Do we know anything about the new achievement system for the One? They made it sound really fancy in the reveal.
