An undisclosed source close to the developers at Shadow Tor Studios has just told me that the game is heading for a release in 2009, at a particularly appropriate time of year. Trick or Treat? We'll find out.

The "virtual archeology" part sounds interesting. Byzantine had virtual archeology, but I can't remember playing any other game that made use of the idea (which I thought was a good one). I am less thrilled at the prospect of surviving "beast attacks" and can only hope they aren't action or timed sequences. The rest sounds good - similar to the first game. OS: Windows® XP(SP2/SP3) or Vista
CPU: Pentium® II or equivalent. (Pentium® IV or equivalent recommended.) Pentium II ? Really?
