Exciting electronic music begins to play.  It sounds like the ‘80s are getting a second wind.

Welcome to indGame!

Welcome to a future without boundaries!

Have you ever wanted to scale Mount Everest?  Maybe your secret dream has always been to explore the Mariana Trench.  Or perhaps a game of hopscotch on the dark side of the moon would be more your speed.

Tired of your day job?  How does facing down gladiators in an alien arena sound to you?  Not really your thing?  There’s always a need for a new U.S. Marshal in the Arizona boomtown of Rotgut.  Then again, there are always vampires, aliens, and feral humans to take down if you just want to save the world, or nearly indestructible battle suits, if your goal is to enslave it.

Greetings!  My name is Hal Campbell, CEO of the indGame Corporation.  You can see my son Packard over there, testing out our latest simulator, Marshal Blood.  He'd wave if he knew he was on camera.  Right now, though, he’s lost in another world, hot on the trail of a ruthless band of train robbers.  He might even catch ‘em if the locals don't scalp him first!

You see, using our patented cerebral scanner, coupled with our quantum universal anamnesis database, Q.U.A.D for short, we can import your very essence into our servers.  We record your memories, emotions, fears, everything that makes you who you are, to create an in-game character with your precise personality, right down to ticks, twitches, and nasty habits.  For all intents and purposes, the character in the game believes itself to be you.

All you need to do is jack into the game and immerse yourself in an experience that is part simulator, part interactive play, and, as far as your brain will be concerned, 100% real.

The best part is, you'll return to the real world without a scratch, but with real memories of your adventures in cyberspace completely intact, like a dream you actually remember.  Or a nightmare, if that's your bag.

So whether you’re a n00b or l33t, old or young, ability-challenged or triathlete, indGame has something for everyone.

No joysticks or button-mashing required.

indGame - individual gaming at its finest.
