Top Story: RedLynx teases 'a game that lasts 1000 days', News from GamePro

Everyone loves a good mystery, and RedLynx is more than happy to provide. The teaser for the team's upcoming 1000 day-long game for iOS devices is this morning's Top Story.

Finnish developer RedLynx, best known for the hugely successful Trials HD on Xbox LIVE Arcade, has released a video teaser for their new, as-yet untitled game. The new title promises to be a game that lasts one thousand days, with a new map and hero available each day. Players are challenged to gather one thousand treasures on their journey through time.

"There is a timeline inside all of us,"said Antti Ilvessuo, Creative Director of RedLynx."A past that guides us, ancestors whom time may have forgotten, but whose choices influence us even today. This game takes these ideas, and plays with them in a fun and engaging way."

RedLynx has so far remained rather tight-lipped about the exact details of the game -- we have no idea what kind of game it is, even -- but promises a new adventure every day for 1000 days. Each new adventure features a new map, a new hero and new relics to gather. And from what Ilvessuo says, we can presumably expect events from previous days' play to affect subsequent adventures.

This could potentially be an interesting solution to the assumption that people don't want to play longer games on mobile devices. If each daily adventure is short enough, people will be willing to invest a few minutes of their time each day to see the saga through to its conclusion. Assuming the gameplay is compelling enough to keep people playing for 1000 days, of course. That's nearly 3 years' worth of game -- it better be good to keep people interested!
