Californium-CaviaRiSO-0daytown

多产的美国作家菲利普K.迪克最为人所知的就是他在科幻小说上的贡献。就算你对这个名字陌生的话，你也起码看过如下奥威尔/赫胥黎式的国家控制意识形态电影作品，包括《银翼杀手》，《全面回忆，《少数派报告》，《黑暗扫描仪》甚至是最近的美剧《高堡奇人》。受这位作家的写作和思想的影响，即将上线的《锎（Californium）》就是这样一款关于一个现实人生分崩离析的作家的新奇的第一人称游戏。

游戏由大吉岭和新星出品共同开发，基于迪克的1978年小说《VALIS》，探索了主人公虚幻的景象与揭开现实的秘密。和《全面回忆》有些类似，迪克的小说不太适合传统的游戏叙事方式，此番的表现更为概念化，大部分概念工作都是由法国画家奥利弗柏和马绘制的。根据官网的内容显示，游戏世界里任何东西都是处于变化状态的，仅仅施加一些外部力量就能产生非常大的不同。它看起来既美丽、梦幻和迷人，也有令人感到可怕。
