Steam Store description

Important Note for AMD Graphics Cards Users. Scroll to bottom to read about this emerging issue. There is a free DEMO of the game if you are unsure about whether your computer will run the game properly. Paradox Vector is a kind of homage and sequel to "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft. The story is revealed slowly through various locations and interactions throughout the games many levels. The gameplay takes place in immense cyclopean structures where you must face dangers from the Ancient Ones and their Servitors, as well as navigate the structures' non-euclidean geometry. Paradox Vector is at its core, a first person shooter. It's gameplay is directly influenced by classics like Doom, Quake and Half-Life. The vector graphics and impossible geometry of the levels offer the two main points of departure from these original masterpieces of the genre. Paradox Vector imagines if vector graphics were still popular when the first-person shooter genre got started. In Paradox Vector you can witness a different kind of retro shooter. As Chris McMullen of Gamespew put it: “Remember the heady days of the first-person on-foot wireframe shooter? No, me neither, but it hasn’t stopped Paradox Vector from revisiting a genre that never existed.” Inspired by arcade games from the early 1980s like Tailgunner, Battlezone, and even the original Star Wars game, Paradox Vector takes this abandoned style, and brings it up to date. The impossible art of M.C. Escher along with the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, have had a big influence on Paradox Vector. This is not a puzzle game,…
