As part of Trymedia’s global distribution network, Second Sight will be available for download on more than 300 leading portals, retailers and Peer-to-Peer networks around the globe and reach millions of gamers in more than 30 countries worldwide. Also available is a free fifteen-minute trial download to give consumers a quick look at the game before purchase.
 
Matt Davies, Codemasters’ Business Development Manager, says: “Distributing the full game via Trymedia’s network was an important step to allow us to reach an even wider audience for this great title.”

“We are excited to have partnered with Codemasters to add Second Sight to our network of downloadable games,” said Alex Torrubia, co-founder and CEO of Trymedia.  “We know it will be a success and look forward to working with Codemasters in the future.”
 
Combining an atmospheric, psychological thriller narrative with stealthy exploration and intense shooter action, Second Sight gives players control of a character endowed with incredible psychic abilities. The game offers multiple approaches to completing levels either via stealth, dramatic gunplay, psychic powers or a combination of all three. The ability to psychically influence characters and remotely manipulate objects and individuals provides for a totally fresh gameplay dynamic.
 
Created by Free Radical Design, Second Sight introduces a unique dual-time narrative where flashbacks are experienced as fully playable episodes. Actions that take place in these flashbacks can alter events when main character John Vattic returns to the present, creating an original and dynamic storyline structure.
