Double Fine Announces 'Hack 'n Slash' - briefly
(hx) 05:55 PM CET - Dec,11 2013 - Post a comment
Double Fine has announced Hack 'n' Slash, a Zelda inspired RPG where the player's main weapon is to re-write the code of the game. The puzzle action game will release in the first half of 2014 and will be heading to Windows, Linux and Mac systems.

Hack 'n' Slash features a young elf who "uses her computer hacking skills to cheat her way through a classic action/adventure game," according to a release from Double Fine. "By subverting old-school gaming tropes with unique hacking mechanics," Double Fine said, "Hack ‘n' Slash allows non-programmer players to experience that same sense of mystery and discovery."

Double Fine's Hack 'n' Slash announcement is something of a puzzle itself. The game's website features a downloaded JPEG that's more than 12 MB in size. Embedded within that image file is a message from Double Fine. You may have figured out that this JPEG is more than just an image. It is not an ARG. It is not a transmedia narrative. It's just a puzzle we've built for you that will give you some more Hack 'n' Slash tidbits as you peel back its layers. If you're into that kind of thing, we hope you enjoy it!
