Vangers is adventure. It's wild races, weird rituals, fights, puzzles and a bit of RPG. But the biggest part of Vangers is something that can't be ranged in a particular genre-exploring the world.

The Vanger's home is a mechos, and the main goal is survival. Vangers means freedom. Freedom of choice, freedom of intentions, freedom of morals and conscience. From the outset, this weird world will encourage you to do some little things, then something bigger and odder. Every character in the game has their own goals and ways. Every world of the Lost Chain hides surprises. These are parts of some supernatural mystery, or maybe joke of some higher powers. The Vanger will be involved in hold-ups, encounter hired guns, stumble over annoying raffas that always get on the way, and watch discreet couriers passing by. Live rocks will cross the road, and mushrooms and stinkers will try to get their bit off your life. And whatever happens, beebs will crackle under your wheels, adding to your cash.

Three years ago, when Fox Interactive first approached us about being involved with this project I almost turned them down. I had never seen an episode of the series and wasn't too keen on the idea of working on a project connected with a TV show. That changed as soon as I saw my first episode - the creative possibilites just exploded in my imagination. The hook was set. From that point on we fought like crazy, first to get the project and then to keep it alive. I'm sure glad we did. It's been the most challenging, frustrating, scariest, coolest thing I've ever done. It's pushed us as a company to go beyond even what we thought was possible and it's allowed us to push the boundary of what a computer game can be. [Greg Roach, Hyperbole Studios]
