In
COAST GUARD the player will slip into the role of Finn Asdair, a
charismatic and committed coast guard officer. In a story-driven
captivating mix of simulation and adventure game Asdair, together with
his crew, will face various challenging rescue and crime fighting tasks
on board of their rescue vessel Daniel Defoe. Troubled not only by rough
seas but also a complex criminal case which quickly turns into a far
reaching conspiracy, Asdair’s story is guaranteed to deliver hours of
enthralling entertainment to the player.
Luckily, the
courageous captain can count on his experienced crew members such as
lead investigator Colman Bauers and forensic specialist Larry LaBouche.
Together they will thwart their criminal opponents through skillful
interrogations and hard-won forensic evidence.Developer Reality Twist, who can look back on a history of successfully addressing socially relevant topics, has picked a highly dramatic and, for all persons involved, unexpectedly relevant issue in their newest game COAST GUARD.
Clemens
Hochreiter, CEO of Reality Twist: „We are firm believers of covering
highly charged political topics in games. Our game “Missio for Life”
about poverty, forced prostitution and dowry deaths has already been on
school curriculums for several years now. And our game “Utopolis” not
only makes the concept of democracy come alive for basically everybody,
but has also won several awards. Admittedly, when we started to write
the story script for COAST GUARD in the first half of 2014, we kind of
already knew that we would be working on a demanding and at the same
time controversial project. That the current situation of refugees would
catch up to us in the form that all of us are now experiencing was
however something we did not foresee. The suffering of refugees from
war-torn countries, the conflict with human traffickers and the
unsolved problems within the EU concerning this unprecedented high
number of persons seeking protection – all these are issues that have
been occupying Europe’s coast guard forces for quite some time now. In
accordance with this, these topics are reflected in the story of COAST
GUARD. None of our games has been that topical before and I am grateful,
that we will be able to add to the current social discourse with the
help of our game.”
Distributor

game Ship Simulator: Maritime Search and Rescue. We will keep on that
course and give 1 Euro of every sold copy of COAST GUARD to
#GamingAid4Refugees. “
