Blendo Games, the mix masters behind Thirty Flights of Loving, are cracking into the retro indie era with Quadrilateral Cowboy, a game about 20th century cyberpunk hacking due out this year. Quadrilateral Cowboy involves sneaky sabotage, tiny cameras with legs and a train of some kind, as demonstrated in the above video. Blendo provides a few more details in its description:

"Hacking. Dial tone. Cyberpunk. Cassette decks. Robotics. Espionage. Sabotage. Suitcase decks. Simulators. Brainbox injectors. When you have a top-of-the-line hacking deck armed with a 56.6k modem and a staggering 256k RAM, it means just one thing: You answer only to the highest bidder."

In the 90s, the highest bidder could easily be Wal-Mart. So that's how they get those prices so low.

You can get it through Steam or, if you'd prefer to avoid DRM, Blendo Games' website.

Originally bundled into Idle Thumbs' Kickstarter package, Thirty Flights of Loving made its debut to non-backers in August. Thirty Flights of Loving continues creator Brendon Chung's desire to tell a story within a linear, first-person adventure framework. It's a short game, and apparently a very good one too.

The self-proclaimed "first person short story" is a sequel to the indie outfit's previous game, Gravity Bone.

Thirty Flights of Loving is available for 10 percent off until August 27, for $4.49 - at which point it'll go back to the full price of $4.99. If you're not thrilled about the whole DRM thing, you can purchase a copy of Thirty Flights of Loving directly through Blendo's site.

Whether you're plunking down $30 on the Idle Thumbs Kickstarter, or waiting patiently to pick up Thirty Flights of Loving later on, at least you don't have to wait in the interim before checking out some screens and the above teaser trailer. Your interest is warranted: It's the sequel to Blendo Games' Gravity Bone, an excellent PC game that's still available for free download.
