Whore of the Orient

[CeeKay]

Team Bondi's next game:

Shanghai, 1936. Whore of the Orient. Paris of the East. The most corrupt and decadent city on the planet, where anything can be had or done for the right price. Plaything of Western powers who greedily exploit the Chinese masses. Boiling pot of Chinese nationalism, with the Kuomintang ruthlessly trying to suppress Communism and the labour movement. Home to the International Police Force, a group of Western cops hopelessly trying to keep the lid on and keep the peace.

it's due out for 'next gen' consoles and the PC, so it is probably a ways off still.  it'll be interesting to see them refine what they did with LA Noire and take it to the next level.

Sounds very promising. I've run a PnP RPG in that same location and era, so I love the setting. Here's hoping it supports fan mods. That way some fan could do a TinTin and the Blue Lotus remake for it, except that this time round the Blue Lotus could be a whore house as well as an opium den.

If they manage to keep that name for release I will be amazed.

I seriously doubt it will stick around once the publisher gets involved. Only an independently produced project would be able to keep the name.

Looking forward to any game set in this time/place.

That's an awesome name for the game. What if they released it via Steam? You think Steam would object?
