Infinity (video game)
Doctor Who: Infinity was a game developed by Tiny Rebel Games following the success of its predecessor, Doctor Who: Legacy. It was released for iOS, Android and PC and Mac computers. The game was formatted in episodes and each episode was penned and directed by a different individual.
Unlike Legacy, voice acting formed part of the story and a variety of actors from the television series reprised their roles including Michelle Gomez and Katy Manning. Additionally, Infinity was not free to play, costing $11.99 from Steam.
The Dalek Invasion of Time, The Orphans of the Polyoptra and The Lady of the Lake were released in August 2018, while The Silent Streets of Barry Island and The Horror of Flat Holm will be released in Autumn 2019.
Publisher's summary
The Dalek Invasion of Time
A tragic event on the edge of the Time War has led to the unlikely creation of a dangerous new type of Dalek hybrid, after a gifted young child is forced to survive by hooking herself into a Dalek life-support system.
As the young girl tries to exact her revenge, the Twelfth Doctor, Missy, Bill and Nardole find themselves in the midst of a full-scale assault on Earth's timeline.
As the invasion spreads, and the Doctor is forced to turn to some of his closest allies for assistance, can they stop this new enemy? And must the Doctor do the unthinkable and ally with the Daleks to save Earth?
The Orphans of the Polyoptra
The story, as told in flashback by Jo Jones to her nephew in the style of a classic Doctor Who 4-part story arc, begins at the height of World War 2 as the Third Doctor and Jo Grant find themselves trapped in what appears to be a German bombing in a small mining town.
Here they meet a young orphan girl and her strange companion, who are not at all what they appear to be, and who desperately need their help to travel back to 1842, to a time when the local children still faced the treacherous danger of daily work in the mines.
The Lady of the Lake
The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler find themselves pulled into a thematic retelling of a legendary Welsh tale whilst visiting the Black Mountains of Wales.
A dense fog, as well as a full blown alien war have descended on a small village. Luckily the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler have just arrived on holiday.
As a piece of alien weaponry poses an existential threat to mankind, the Doctor has to team up with a local poet as they try to unravel the mysteries of why a Lady has been seen walking over the surface of Llyn-y-Van Bach Lake, and why all the animals nearby have been dying at midnight.
The Silent Streets of Barry Island
Bonfire night, November, 1966 and the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, and Rory have found themselves in the midst of a mods and rockets riot at the formerly peaceful British seaside town of Barry Island. A local fish and chips shop owner finds a dead body in his alley way, just one in a series of gruesome deaths. Smiling families swarm to the nighttime neon lights of the funfair, but so does something much more deadly. As Amy and Rory acclimate to the groovy vibe of the ’60s, an unlikely love story unfolds and the Doctor races to work out what is terrorising this town.
The Horror of Flat Holm
Drawn in ‘noir’ style, the Horror of Flat Holm follows two different time periods as our heroes face a menace of the Cybermen on Flat Holm Island! In the 1960s, the Fourth Doctor and Captain Mike Yates travel with a scientist to an island off the coast of Wales, In the present, at night and during an intense storm, Kate Stewart leads a UNIT mission to the same island alongside Osgood. Their goal is to investigate the strange goings on at the military base which has been built at the same location. But nothing is ever easy, and the decisions of the past will have repercussions on the present for Kate and Osgood.
