This coming April, classic role-playing game fans will have a portable release to look forward to. Also releasing onto Windows PC this spring, is Avernum: Escape From the Pit from indie developers, Spiderweb Software. This newly-announced title may sound familiar to some. It happens to be a revamped and renamed version of Exile: Escape From the Pit, which debuted in 1995.
In a strange twist, Mac owners will receive the first chance to play this completely redone title (featuring improved systems, visuals, compatibility and interface mechanics.) Avernum: Escape The Pit will release on that platform later this month.
Gamers take control of a prisoner who has been cast into an enormous prison located in a pit-like underworld, where he must attempt to survive. The game focuses on survival and an eventual attempt to escape. During your time spent within this gloomy premise, it’s possible to tackle hundreds of different quests. A large game world is also present; available for in-depth exploration, with tons of loot to find.

The first game in a trilogy of epic, indie role-playing games, Avernum tells of a struggle for survival in an enormous prison far below the surface world.

While the surface continues to suffer under the iron fist of Emperor Hawthorne, you will enter into a battle for survival in Avernum, a hungry and fragile nation deep in the underworld. The people of this world have not given up, however, and they are forging a new nation of their own with steel, magic, and dreams of returning to the sun. Join them, explore a huge game world, hunt for hundreds of magical artifacts, choose from hundreds of quests, and become the hero of the underworld!
