“Lie, blackmail and steal your way down The Low Road. Noomi Kovacs must find her way as a field agent in this dark spy comedy set in the 1970s.
Narrative:
1976. Noomi Kovacs—an overeager graduate of the LeCarre Institute for Exceptional Spies (L.I.E.S)—has just landed her first job at Penderbrook Motors’ Division of Outside Intelligence. Confined to an office and underestimated by her gruff supervisor—a disgraced former government agent named Turn—Noomi will have to exploit her colleagues and surroundings to help further her dream of becoming a globetrotting secret agent. Once in the field, Noomi and Turn begin to realize that their company’s dogged pursuit of their rivals extend to something far more sinister than “healthy competition” and the two will be forced to reconsider the paths they’ve chosen. Lying, blackmail, and emotional manipulation will become Noomi and Turn’s greatest assets as they make their way through…The Low Road.
About XGen Studios
XGen Studios was founded in 2001 and garnered a cult following for their web games: Defend Your Castle, Stick RPG, and Motherload. These days XGen has been developing and self publishing downloadable titles for PC, Steam, and Consoles such as their 2013 Day-1 PlayStation 4 digging adventure game: Super Motherload.
During the development of The Low Road, XGen Studios was faced with an extremely difficult emotional challenge when founder and CEO, Skye Boyes, passed away in 2015. The loss of such an important leader to the team had a huge impact on the development process but in the midst of this incredible challenge, the team came together quickly to support one another as they finished development of The Low Road with a renewed drive and purpose.”
