About the Game

12 Years ago, a rift opened up that created a doorway to our world, bringing forth monsters that we thought were mere stories and fairytales. Without warning they began killing anything in sight some even having the power to turn humans to slaves burned by fire. A mysterious group from this newly connected dimension granted 23 individuals power to help combat the enemy.No one knows why they were sympathetic towards humanity or why only 23 were granted power, but it helped give humanity a chance, up until the 23 were overrun. Now, the people who survived either are in hiding, or captured and sent to numerous islands around the world, and as for the 23, they are either dead, capture or missing.

Venture into the island fighting several enemies, and staying away from traps!. it is your job to find out what the enemy knows, where you friends are, and how you, and the rest of the 23 can once again try to save humanity.

- Uniquely crafted story that will unravel as you play providing context for why the world is the way it is.
- Read and listen to audio logs and notes to get a feel for the atmosphere and plight of the humans on the island.
- Explore an artificial cemetery that houses deadly traps, enemies hunting any and everything, and humans trying to survive, looking for hope.
- A Single player focused experience, no micro transactions, no season pass, what you see is what you get.
- Straight forward Combat that should lend itself well to the gameplay.

UPDATE: new update is progressing but taking a min...
Hey guys hope you are having an awesome weekend, two weeks have went by and im still working on the next update its rather big in comparison to the other updates im trying to get alot of things out the gate: Updating character movement (some animations are a bit hideous lol) Overhauling the combat mechanics for the player Opening up new areas (survivor areas, boss areas etc) Adding UI enhancements (tutorial UI at beginning, better UI animations etc) Inserting "magic" for player and how that fits the overall story Add more interactive NPC's (roaming, dying, dialogue etc) and those are just the major ones so definitely a big update! I probably wont get all these in the next update but these are the main focus before jumping into AI overall and opening the rest of the areas for the game...after that is will just be fixes and touch ups + bug fixes that come along with the updates and soon a full release!! dont forget to join the discord(like on the main page) if you are experiencing any problem what so ever! You guy enjoy the rest of your Sunday!.Read full article on Community Announcements (Cognitive Studios(Cstudios15))Patch NotesOfficial
