RELEASE NOTES

Outcast is the all-new 3D-action-adventure developed by the young and
ambitious software company Appeal, who have set up their camp in
Namur, Belgium. In Outcast the player aka hero Cutter Slade has to
fight, sneak and discuss his way through a parallel-world full of
bloodthirsty enemies and neutral NPCs. Unlike anything ever seen
before, Outcast seems to be the first game to deliver "Real-Life-3D",
possible by generating a highly interactive environment with it's own
ground-breaking artificial intelligence system GAIA. Featuring
top-notch Voxel- and Polygon-graphics and a huge world to discover,

Outcast is heading to be one of the blockbusters of the year.
