40 Stories is a puzzle game where you must create duplicates of yourself to escape 40 challenging floors. It is being developed by 88 Chico State University students in the Applied Computer Graphics, Computer Science, and Recording Arts departments. In 40 Stories, you play as Anita Hent, a disgruntled technical support employee who is on a mission to leave her office. In Anita’s haste, she runs into the megalomaniacal Professor Darius McDoogle, who zaps her with his reality altering Quantum Stabilizer, which then gives Anita the power to clone herself. Anita must now traverse her ever changing office building with the help of her very own Fanboy and escape McDoogle’s grasp.

Indie of the Year 2010 Editors Choice - Best Singleplayer Indie

Posted by on

Back in early December 2010, Epic Games the creators of the UDK engine teamed up with the staff of IndieDB in an attempt to recognize the top UDK games of 2010. First, we called on the public that voted in last years Indie of the Year awards to narrow down the list to just 10 releases. Then, it was up to the judges from Epic Games and IndieDB to pick the ultimate winner. The top placing project will receive a flight to the Epic offices in Cary, NC for up to 5 of their developers. There, they will meet Epic's developers, tour the brand new studio facilities and give a demo of their UDK game on the 16'x9' display in the area known as The Arena.


With such a huge prize up for grabs and some awesome upcoming games in the top 10, judging this event wasn't easy. And while there can only be one winner, we eagerly look forward to 2011 and watching these UDK games and others evolve in innovative boundary pushing titles.
