Spiderweb
Software Announces Avernum 6
An Upcoming Fantasy Role- Playing
Game for Windows and Macintosh
Spiderweb Software, Inc. announced
today the upcoming release of Avernum 6, the final game in the epic,
award-winning Avernum series. Avernum 6 is set in the world of Avernum, an
enormous series of caves far below the surface of the world. Travel into the
strange subterranean land of Avernum, full of dungeons, labyrinths, and constant
warfare.
Avernum is a world underground. It
is a nation of people living in an enormous warren of tunnels and caverns, far
below the surface of the world. Once a prison colony for rebels and thugs, it is
now a wild frontier, full of adventurous souls looking for wealth, fame, and
magical power.
And then the Blight came. Almost
overnight, the mushrooms Avernum needed to feed itself withered and died. Then
the denizens of the low tunnels, the savage, reptilian Slithzerikai, emerged.
Sensing weakness, they struck, destroying much of a weakened Avernum and
creating waves of hungry, desperate refugees.
This final set of disasters
threatens to destroy your homeland in a spasm of famine and warfare. Only you
can help your people to get to safety before everything falls apart.
