Bizarre has released a few more screenshots from The Club, their upcoming "high octane" shooter.  The game looks pretty solid so far.  Hit the more button for the description of the location and the dread locked character in the screens.

LOCATION BACKGROUND

VENICE: Whilst being one of the most unique cities in the world, Venice is also sinking.  The Italian government and world heritage organizations have devoted considerable resources to engineering projects to save the city.  The expense has been considerable, so an offer of financial assistance from a consortium of wealthy philanthropists was all too gratefully received.  The consortium’s resources were all devoted to one particular area of the city, an area so badly affected by structural damage that it was abandoned years ago.  However, some of the materials used in the rebuilding and restoration process were extremely hazardous and many of the buildings in the affected area were dangerously unstable, so, for reasons of public safety, the area was completely sealed off.  To compensate, extravagant and noisy fireworks displays were often put on for the people of Venice, all at the consortium’s expense.

 

CHARACTER BACKGROUND

SEAGER

In his early 20s, Seager is a handsome, athletic, and confident rich kid who likes nothing more than living life on the edge.  A complete thrill-seeker, you name it, Seager’s tried it; extreme sports, illegal street racing, Russian roulette, bare-knuckle boxing and more, he’s always pushed himself to the edge, looking for the next high, and the latest and most extreme test of his abilities.  

 

Then he heard about The Club.   After hearing rumors of this secretive, elite and dangerous club, Seager spent months and a small fortune following its trail, before he eventually found what he was looking for. 

 

However, The Club weren’t going to just welcome a new comer such as Seager with open arms.  This isn’t a club where you just walk in off the street and instantly become a member.  Oh no, Seager was beaten to the brink of death and only at this point did The Club enforcers ask him, “What is it you want?”  With his last bit of energy Seager broke free, pulled a gun from nowhere and shot his captures dead, before leveling the weapon at The Club’s money man.  Grinning through bloody teeth he calmly reached for his pocket and pulled out a cash-stuffed envelope, throwing it down in front of the money men’s agent.  “I want to play.”
