The first game that will be releasing as part of the Microsoft Game Studio’s GameFeast promotion is Hydrophobia, which will be available on September 29, for 1200 MSPoints (or $15).
Set in the near future when the world has become massively over-populated, Hydrophobia takes place aboard the “Queen of the Worldâ€, a city sized ship sailing the globe as home to the wealthy elite escaping the chaos of the outside world. 2051. The world has become consumed by the ever rising tide of the global population flood. Fertile land has been reclaimed by rising oceans and expanding deserts, resulting in famine and poverty on an unprecedented scale. Water is now mankind’s most valuable resource, and conflict erupts wherever it flows.
A new political and ideological struggle has arisen. On one side are the Malthusians, who seek to control and reduce the global population. On the other the Cornucopians, who want to find a technological solution to feed it. As desperation turns to despair, extremists on both sides are emerging.
