First Contact: PlanetFall

Description
First Contact: Planetfall is a First Person Sci-Fi action adventure game that will drop players into a fully realised alien world teeming with strange creatures and threatening alien enemies. Players must survive in this hostile alien environment while discovering a secret plot, buried beneath the surface of the planet that could spell the end of the human race.

This mod contains two adventurous levels with new creatures, enemies and plantlife. New game mechanics are introduced giving the player new weapons and equipment that will facilitate survival on this strange and hazardous alien world. Specifically, the player will have to maintain an 'Ethanol Supply' to power the functions of the players equipment such as environment scanning and ammo reloading by harvesting ethanol from the 'Gas Plants' that are dotted around the landscape. As the player, you will also encounter an indigenous race of aliens named the Emfobia that inhabit the planets forests.

The Shark in a Cube Mod team consists of seven students from The University of Salford, that have decided to create a total conversion of Far Cry.

The story line for this modification is a unique one...Dr. Rhea awakes in the crashed front section of the drop ship to find her team mates dead around her. Crawling out from the wreckage, she hears the crackle of a weak communication signal from the orbiting base ship, the Sword of Venture. After receiving news of what has befallen all five of the initial drop ships, she is told to retrieve what equipment she can from the dead and head to the main island.

After diving and retrieving a pistol from the sunken remains of the rear end of her drop ship, she makes it to the main island to find an alien forest that she must traverse in order to not only discover what has befallen the other drop ship crews, but also search for cultural artefacts from a local tribe of indigenous aliens, named the Emfobia, in order to try and discover if they had the means to cause the crashing of the ETRA drop ships
