Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey developer Panache Digital Games has announced 1666: Amsterdam, a dark third-person narrative action adventure game. It will launch first for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, followed by unspecified consoles at a later date. A free prologue is available now, introducing the world, characters, atmosphere, and mystery of the game through approximately 30 minutes of gameplay.
Here is an overview of the game, via Panache Digital Games:
About
Amsterdam, 1666.
A city built on wealth, power, and sheer will, yet shaped by forces it did not forge.
Entities known as the Originals have lived among its people for centuries, granted time, granted power, and the freedom to abuse both. That power is now owed.
Noa Brooklyn was born the Collector, raised by the Zaindaris for a purpose she did not choose. Aaron, drawn from 1999, now sees the world through the eyes of a cat.
This is where the cycle begins.
Before the first Esbat. Before the Collector realizes what awaits her.
The Prologue of 1666: Amsterdam offers a first glimpse into a world shaped by centuries of hidden influence. Step into Noa’s Commencement as she takes on the mantle of the Collector, and begins to understand the role she was born to fulfill.
A choice must be made. A companion will walk beside her.
This is only the beginning.
Story
What will unfold in Amsterdam did not begin there. It was set in motion long before the first canal was dug, before the first stone was named.
In the year 1333, the contracts were sealed. And ever since, the city has lain under their influence.
The Collector now stands invested. As the cycle reaches its end, another begins.
