The second episode of On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is a role-playing game that continues the story from the first episode. It features turn-based combat and puzzle-solving gameplay, and follows the adventures of the player avatar as they interact with a cast of quirky characters in a steampunk-inspired world.
In this second episode, you'll return to the game armed with a new gardening implement and plenty of witticisms. Rejoin Gabe and Tycho as they search for more clues and a new place to live. Encounter bigger, badder, and stranger enemies, explore new areas, and solve even more puzzles.
What's great about Episode Two is that it picks up where the first episode left off, while introducing all-new characters and revealing new strip favorites. The dialogue, created by Jerry Holkins, is laugh-out-loud hilarious. You can also enjoy each self-contained story without having to play previous installments.
This game gives you even more options to design and develop your own character, which comes to life in both 3D and the comic-style 2D cut scenes. You can choose to play it safe or amp up the difficulty with new settings that let you control the action.
Overall, On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode Two is a deeper RPG-Adventure experience. It offers more puzzles, areas to explore, and levels to gain. If you're a fan of the first episode or new to the series, you're sure to enjoy this madcap Penny Arcade experience.
