A downloadable game

This is 'Columbia (1858)', a new video game from Outhouse Media. It's a 1927, 1894 suicide plane crash in the Ukraine that takes place in the New World.
The game is Red Alert. The story is the story of an ambitious young Ukrainian who disappears into the unknown and this is where Red Alert starts. Players assume control of a young boy named Alex, an orphan, who ends up in New York and encounters the mysterious Red Alert. The game's vocal sections aren't the most ornate, but it's good at what it does and I highly recommend watching many of the scenes in the video. This game has been developed by the awesome creators of Red Alert, renowned video game designer Marc Andreyev and his fellow creators of the recent Medusa video game, Oliver Anderson and Dmitry Geitsner. As wonderful as the game's story is, the audio direction also strikes me as a bit lacking. The music is decent, but the rest of the sound design is very amateurish. I'm sure I can find an acceptable replacement soundtrack in the near future, but for now, I'm going to have to rely on the sound designer's trailer. This was our favorite scene. Outhouse Media promises that the game will be a sequel to Red Alert and will release in 2016. This is a bold statement from a company that doesn't often make your expectations higher than they already are.
