Inside The Flock, the Mac game that slowly dies as its players do (online)<article>

<p>Slated to hit Mac and PC on Friday, August 21,
The Flock is a truly eerie experience. The first-person multiplayer game is draped in shadows as you control a hobbled, sluggish human-like creature protecting a glowing artifact—or one of the four ferocious monsters out to claim it. The Flock is billed as a horror game, and it’s the rare one in which the scares come not from scripted sequences or computer-controlled characters, but rather other online players.</p><p>And the scariest thing about The Flock may truly surprise you: The game has a finite lifespan of its own, and it’ll stop working once enough player deaths are tallied. In other words, the worse that you and everyone else are at The Flock, the faster the game approaches its promised conclusion, ceases to be playable, and is no longer available for purchase. How’s that for incentive to play well?</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2971189/software-games/inside-the-flock-the-mac-game-that-slowly-dies-as-its-players-do-online.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
