What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is on Early Access with the purpose of allowing gamers to be part of the development of the game until its completion. During this time, with the support and feedback of the community interested in horror games, new mechanics and features with the potential to bring something refreshing to the genre will be added, improving the quality, enjoyment and overall experience of the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hopefully, the game will remain in early access for 1.5 years. The final version of this project will be a small but stable version that contains all the mechanics and features that were envisioned during its prototype stage; a simple but solid and enjoyable experience for the players.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“So far, the basic mechanics of the combat features have been included, but these are some of the features that are planned to be included by the time the game leaves Early Access: character customization, co-op multiplayer, better enemies AI and custom made assets.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At its current prototype state, these are the features and mechanics already implemented in the game:
Fear system:
- Effects on Combat System
- Effects on Abilities System
Weapons system:
- Sunlight reload system
- One rifle with different fire rates
- Two different types of ammunition
Weather system
- Effects on the oxygen system
- Effects on the visibility area system
- Effects on enemy behavior
Crafting system
Looting system
Flying Drone Companion with different abilities
One tutorial level and one testing level of approximately 15 minutes”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The game will be at a small price during its Early Access stage so that it can be accessible to everyone to try it and be part of its development journey. To support the further development of the game until its completion, as well as bringing in talented artists and developers to create more original content, the price will gradually be increased.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through Steam Forums and different social platforms, we will be able to receive the players valuable feedback on their favorite mechanics, and constructive criticism on the features that could greatly improve the general enjoyment and gameplay experience of the game as new updates are delivered to them. And through honest communication with them on the current state of the game and the challenges that its development might face.”

About This Game

Survive

You will take care of a community of survivors, as you gather resources and explore the ruins of the world. Every time you die during a match, you will have two options: abandon the mission and lose your loot, or respawn and recover your loot at the price of losing one survivor from your community. The survival of your community depends on you, but you won’t survive without them. If they don’t survive, you will lose your main character for good.

The Weather

The weather will affect you and your enemies. A cloudy sky will reduce the firing capacity of your weapons, but rain will naturally slow down your enemies. Fog will reduce your ability to detect the enemies around you, but a clear sky will make you more powerful than them. Plan your strategy and survive the weather.

The enemies

The strange radioactive organisms that have infested the world are naturally invisible. Your technology forces them to become visible when they are inside an electric field that surrounds you. They also are highly radioactive, so eliminate them before they get too close to you. Some of them have the capacity to increase your levels of fear. Maintain low levels of fear, because it will affect your shooting skills.

Your Weapons

Your weapons are capable of using two types of ammunition. Solar Ammunition and Oxygen Ammunition. The first one requires you to be directly under the sunlight to use its full power, while the second one will reduce your evasive abilities as it uses the same oxygen you need to survive.
