What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I’m an independent developer aiming to create a tactical story-driven shooter reminiscent of classics like Call of Duty, Project IGI, and Red Faction. Early Access allows me to gather invaluable feedback from players, refine gameplay mechanics, and gradually build a game that blends deep storytelling, engaging tactical action, and immersive gameplay. This collaborative process will help bring my vision to life and ensure the game evolves into something truly memorable for the players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan for the game to remain in Early Access until 2026. However, the exact completion date depends on the progress of development and feedback from the community.”

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

“The difference between the Early Access version and the full release is the addition of two more story chapters. The addition of new game mechanics and improvements to existing ones.

I plan to add more weapon types, more enemy types, and more mission completion options. I will also focus on performance optimization, graphical improvements and bug fixes based on community feedback.

My ultimate goal is to deliver a well polished story-driven tactical shooter that meets both my expectations and those of the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently in a playable prototype phase. It features:

- Three interconnected levels that showcase the core gameplay.
- A test map where players can try out all the completed mechanics, such as combat systems,
exploration, and interactions.

Please note that during development, certain updates or changes might impact saved game files, as the game continues to evolve.”

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

“Yes, the price of the game will increase as it moves closer to completion. This reflects the additional content, polish, and features that will be added over time.”

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

“The community will play a vital role in shaping the game. I encourage players to:

- Share their feedback through Steam discussions, social media, or a dedicated Discord server.
- Report bugs, suggest improvements, and highlight mechanics or content they enjoy.

I will regularly update the game based on this feedback and provide development updates to keep the community informed about the progress and future plans.”

About This Game

Unknown Operations: The Habitus

is a story-driven, single-player, first-person tactical shooter set during World War II. In the game, you take on the role of Eduard Pěnkava, a soldier and later an agent of the secret organization Habitus, fighting not only against the Nazis but also for the safety of his loved ones and higher ideals. The story combines fictional and historical characters and events to create an intense and captivating experience.

The game is developed on Unreal Engine 5, delivering high visual quality and a seamless gameplay experience. With planned updates, the game will adapt to the latest versions of this advanced engine, ensuring players have access to the best possible technological advancements.

Key Features:

  • Historical Inspiration: Missions are inspired by real events, such as the Battle of Czajankova Barracks or the Operation of the Three Kings. The game features accurate models of weapons and certain vehicles from World War II.

  • Vehicle and Static Weapon Control: Take the wheel of tanks, trucks, or cars, or operate heavy machine guns and cannons to turn the tide of battle.

  • Compelling Story: A narrative filled with espionage, sabotage, and moral dilemmas, told retrospectively from an interrogation room of the secret police.

  • Intense Gameplay: Destroy enemy bases, adapt to changing environments, and strategize on the battlefield with realistic ballistics and destructible environments.

  • NPC Interaction: Engage with characters through a dialogue system and uncover key information that influences the story's progression.

  • Advanced AI: NPCs dynamically respond to situations using the Utility AI system, adding realism to the gameplay.

  • Dynamic Environment: Experience changing weather, day-night cycles, and interactive environmental elements that immerse you in the war atmosphere.

Historical Authenticity:

The game emphasizes the accuracy of weapons and certain vehicles, but due to the constraints faced by a solo developer, not all building models and clothing are fully historically accurate. Nevertheless, the game strives to convey an authentic sense of the wartime conflict and its atmosphere.

Story:

The protagonist, Eduard Pěnkava, begins his journey as a young soldier who soon becomes entangled in events that go beyond ordinary wartime conflicts. From the defense of Czajankova Barracks to sabotage missions targeting secret German projects, Pěnkava becomes a key figure in the secret organization Habitus. Along his path, he encounters love, betrayal, and moral dilemmas, with every decision shaping the course of the war.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

I currently use generated images and dialogues for the game. In the future, I plan to record all dialogues with real actors.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Unknown Operations: The Habitus features realistic depictions of violence associated with wartime conflicts, including gunfights, explosions, and injuries. The game also includes scenes that may be emotionally challenging, such as the death of close characters.

The game does not contain sexual content or themes such as rape or non-consensual sex. Additionally, excessive drug or alcohol use and self-harm are not present. However, certain gameplay situations and decisions may present moral dilemmas that could be emotionally challenging for some players.
