A new game from Ice-Pick Lodge, developer of Pathologic. The game is still in developement, only things that are known is this announcement that they made on their forum. I will try to translave it, though its pretty insane. Those who played Pathologic would understand what I mean. 
NOTE: If you didn't play Pathologic or isn't interested in these kinds of game probably shoudn't even bother reading.
The announcement was made by several posts, presumabely from different ingame characters.
-------------------------
Turgor - In biology, turgor pressure or turgidity is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall, in plant cells, determined by the water content of the vacuole, resulting from osmotic pressure. i.e. the hydrostatic pressure. Turgor perhaps is the reason why the plants grow. Decline of turgor goes along with decay, agieng and death of cells.
------------------------
Turgor (definition from Ice-Pick Lodge) - a new game of survival adventure genre from Ice-Pick Lodge and New Disk, a game that will offer you to survive in the Gap or get out of there in a short time; preserve life in it's frightening dwellers and sad female dwellers (sorry, translation nuances) - or take it from them. The way you will come through this world, the way it will remain. The way you will become as well.
The goal of the game is to leave a certain unfriendly place as fast as possible.
The surreal world of Turgor is built upon a single resource which allows every living being to exist or act - (don't know how to translate it, I'll call if fluid) Fluid of Colour. Each of seven colours of the Fluid has its own character and unique qualities, beneficial and dangerous alike, only the Fluid gives life but it also holds serious danger to the hero.
In the process of desperate, hungry fight for life a hero of Turgor should meet opponents, like himself victims of this strange world. From nightmarish giants, spawns of a mad dream - Hunters to their willing prisoners - Sisters, exquisite beauties which play a dangerous inrigue with each other, Hunters and the hero.
Blood of a Hunter, captured creature, a girl that favours you, a tree that you rejuvenated, everything around you is a source of Fluid. Every action: battle with an enemy, conversation with a Sister, a hunt, search, travel is a waste of Fluid. Short lives here are spent in a desperate search for new fluid to sustain your strength, and to turn it, with a price of your own soul into a palette of capricios colours, which an be used to survive in this wold and solve it's mystery.
Flexible factors of the environment and a situation of extreme resource starvation put the player in new unexpected situations. The player is free to use any colours to accomplish his tasks but also has to think of his strategy, the way he colours the world - such will be the finale. Often the player will have to cope with the fact that opportunity only gives him the colouts that are dangerous to him and cotradict his chosen tactic of survival.
The game is different each time, the ending depend of how much Fluid and of which colour was used.
-----------------------
In a Gap* turgor is called extreme concentration in a living being (including human) of Fluid of Colour**, which allows a creature not to die during a period of time, a short period but sufficient to make a correct decision and reach a turgor condidion again. Such concentration is harmful for life expectancy, but gives a chance to perform an impossible feat (miracle) and even transform the environement.
*Gap - dangerous deviation, which makes the environment acquire illusive, phantasmagorial characteristics, the flow of time becomes disrupted, influence of cold, necrosis and fear becomes more grave. Living creatures caught in the Gap rapidly lose life, sanity and will for developement. The Gap condition isn't specific to some patricular space and time, it can happen any moment in any conditions. Gap is also known as "aggression of dead environment".
**Fluid of colour - group of living elements, which awakens in human an ability to perform acts bordering with miracle. Each Colour has its own will, there are noted those friendly to man, and hostile, dangerous, unreliable colours. The nature of the Fluid of Colour and logic of appearance of its inner and outer sources is not known.
--------------------------------
(The next message is posted by someone called Brother)
Here are commendments for the beggining time, Younger one. When you become one of us
no limitation will be lifted, but their sence that seems terrible now will become more clear
and you will see that they are a bliss.
I. It is only allowed to keep, never to act. Fluid of Colour isn't
for criminal wasting, only for multyplying it, for it is a source of life
and joy. To give your Fluid for vain actions is a taboo.
II. Fluid of any colour is priceless, thus you should listen to the will
of your colour. Each drop of every colour remembers of you, beware
their wrath. Colours don't like each other, to combine them carelessly
is a taboo.
III. To consume more than allowed to you, Young one is a taboo.
IV. Sister that belongs to you should never be given more than needed
to prolong her life. To corrupt the Sister, thus pushing her to mortal heresy
is a taboo.
V. To talk to other's Sister, thus stripping naked her body and soul is a taboo.
VI. To call this place Death, Hell, Gap is a taboo. Listening to Sister's heretical lies
when they beg you to accompany them upwards is a taboo. Beleiving that there
is a world better than this one is the most powerful of taboo.
Even if you are able to hide the broken taboo from us, you can never hide your crime
from Fluid and it will start to dislike you, than will avoid you everywhere.
Thus breaking taboo is punished by execution. Breaking taboo for ten times is
punished by banishment Down, very few can return from there. Next breaking after
banishment is punished by absolute Death.
Listen to the taboo, Young one, don't give in to temptation and you will be dignified
among all the Righteous and you will learn the mysteries of Life.
---------------------------------------------
(Sister's post)
I'm tired of all this typing will finish later if people are at all interested in this game.
Release info by FireMaster
| Code: |
The Void / bitComposer Games
RELEASE DATE : 28-10-2009 PROTECTION : Nothing
GAME TYPE : Adventure DISKS : 1 DVD
Release Notes:
The Skid Rowdies are looking new blood to fill up the ranks.
We're a professional team of dedicated sceners with big mark
under sceners. We believe on the ground idealism of the root
of the real old school scene. We do all this for fun and
nothing else. We don't earn anything on our hobby, as we do
this for the competition and the heart of what got the scene
started in the mid eighties. Ű Ű
If you think you got something to offer, then don't hold back
on contacting us as soon as possible.
On with the game release information:
There is Color only for one. Be the one, get your lost soul
back!
When one gives up living and using his soul, he can't only
lose the soul but can also devote it to death. Before souls
completely die they stick in The Void - an odd space between
life and death. There is an outside chance to survive in The
Void and even to come back from it. This chance is The Color
- the only food of a dying soul wandering through the mournful
realms of The Void, governed by monstrous Brothers and Ű Ű
malicious Sisters, who are desperately struggling for the last
drops of it. The Color is not only the sense of life of these
mysterious creatures but also gives power and vital force to
the whole Void. The Color gives you power to do almost
everything, even to get out of death's clutches if you gain
enough Color, but there is a great lack of it in the arid
deserts of The Void.
The Color is the only resource in the game: it acts as the
health, inventory, skills and perks system, armory
All in-game actions are realised through drawing
You literally need to draw your way with your own blood
Each Color can cause both harm and good. A player gets various
advantages from getting any of The Colors, but when he draws
with it he feeds the enemy forces of the world
Fight with golems, bloodthirsty predators and other spawns of
The Void
Install Notes:
1. Unpack release
2. Mount image or burn it
3. Install
4. Play the game

That gallery was pretty cool, hard to master drawing those glyphs though but doable.
(Wonders why the characters are naked, guess it helps sales or immersion or something.)
EDIT: Game seems quite interesting after reading a bit more from the English website, also seems like the release date for the Russian version is sometime in 3rd quarter 2008.
(Never got into pathologic for some reason, might need to retry that game.)

Yes, I played the game and it's crap. As aways with many russian shit it's very ambitious, great ideas but they just don't pull it off. Mostly because 99% of people in local game industry are technical guys with bad taste. Ideas - cool, realisation - shit.

This game reminds me of another one where you draw symbols with the mouse to use magic spells. I can't remember the name.
Anyone?
