In his writing and films, Clive Barker has inspired, fascinated, and utterly terrified his audience. Bringing his unique talent and vision to PC gaming, Clive Barker?s Undying is a first person shooter that delivers an unparalleled tale of horror. Summoned by an old friend, you are Patrick Galloway, master of the occult, armed with the dark knowledge of arcane magic and a six-shot weapon of forged metal grace. You must unravel the curse of the Covenant family...or die trying.

Set in Ireland of the 1920?s, players take on the role of Patrick Galloway, who has been summoned to an ancestral estate by its lone descendent Jeremiah. Death has claimed his four siblings, each who have reanimated intent on slaying their living brother, the last of the family, so as to free the Curse of the Undying King.

In order to save his friend and unravel the curse that has befallen Jeremiah?s family, Patrick must embark on five perilous quests before he can unearth the final horror of the estate.

Each quest brings Patrick face-to-face with one of Jeremiah?s undead siblings and the strange and wicked creatures the curse has attracted. In addition, Patrick must triumph over his reviled competitor Kiesinger. If there is power to be had by unearthing the mystery of the estate then Kiesinger will try and steal it - and there is much power to be had. It?s up to Patrick to defeat each of Jeremiah?s siblings and vanquish Kiesinger in order to quell the Undying King.

Their Family Secrets Will Scar You For Life.














Characters:

Lizbeth
With striking beauty and regal elegance, the youngest of the Covenant siblings never had trouble stunning the multitudes. Whether seated in her box at the Opera, or perched on a park bench reading poetry, young Lizbeth invariably drew an array of suitors. How deep is the lament, then, when such a rose is snipped before reaching full bloom?

Bethany
An avid horticulturist, Bethany introduced many strains of rare vegetation to the Estate. A deep-rooted jealousy of her twin brother?s artistic talent, or so it has been said, pushed Bethany to seek out the sanctuary of the greenhouse. Whatever the reason, she found beauty in the thorniest weed. Indeed, she had a magical touch with plants and could revive the most lifeless shrub. It came to pass that Bethany would learn to exploit her power over nature for altogether more nefarious pursuits.

Ambrose
After a hasty exit from the ancestral plot, Ambrose sailed the open seas in quest of forbidden knowledge. Though his journeys carried him to the globe's farthest reaches, the sea air served as a steadfast reminder of his one true goal-to return home and settle family business left undone.

Aaron
Aaron's artistic talents were readily evident from an early age. Painting came quite easily for him. Unfortunately, so did an obsession for gambling. When he stayed away from the horses, Aaron painted gruesome scenes of surreal battlefields, which were praised by critics and admirers as trenchant depictions of war trodden Europe. Ironic, isn't it, that those scenes didn't represent the violence of the war as much as they did foreshadow the horror that would envelope the Covenant family?

Keisinger
Attracted to the Undying curse like a moth to a flickering torch, Keisinger seeks to add more occult power to his considerable mastery. Coincidentally, Keisinger had previously crossed paths with Patrick Galloway. Indeed, the black magician played more than a small part in the sordid details leading to Galloway's exile.

Jeremiah
The eldest of the Covenant siblings, Jeremiah discovered the ancient text and led his brothers and sisters to their fate at the Standing Stones. On that foreboding day, Jeremiah was able, just barely, to keep the curse at bay. Unfortunately, though, his solution would not prove to be an everlasting one.

Patrick
When Jeremiah sustained life-threatening wounds while protecting Galloway during WWI, Galloway pledged a life-long allegiance to his commander. According to the field medics, it was a miracle that Jeremiah survived at all. After the war, Galloway gained some notoriety as a debunker of ghost tales and fraudulent occultists. Most of his fame, however, came on the wave of grisly news surrounding a ritualistic slaying at the Rock of Cashel. Accused of horrors unfathomable, Galloway was forced to flee his homeland.
