Ackk Studios, developer of Two Brothers and Project Y2K, has released some screens for Project Y2K prior to PAX East where gamers will be able to play a demo for the upcoming title.

What exactly is Project Y2K?  Ackk Studios has provided the following insight about what players will encounter while playing Project Y2K.

When an erratically behaving elevator claims the life of a young woman, unemployed recent college graduate Alex Eggleston takes to a primitive 1990s message-board to find answers about the death of this stranger. His quest for answers leads to more questions as his research points him to a mysterious van the internet has dubbed the “Death Cab. This vehicular oddity roams the game’s city and countryside. Who is driving it? And despite the death toll surrounding the vehicle, why does no one seem recognize its threat? The “Mother series” and Haruki Murakami provides inspiration for the quirky characters and the thought-provoking script. These elements come together in a dramatic and mysterious story rife with emotional depth to bring the player on a journey.
