Why This Game’s Worth Your Attention
- Fresh Take on Fear: It’s tower defense with a horror twist, blending sharp shooting and smart turret placement on a claustrophobic rig. Picture Dead Space vibes crossed with Orcs Must Die intensity.
- Shooter meets strategy: Upgrade to increase your income, but don't be greedy, or you might find yourself lacking defenses. Build and upgrade towers, or buff your weapon instead. The better your aim, the fewer defenses you'll need!
- Made for Sharing: The demo’s short games—quiet, tense prep into all-out mutant chaos—is perfect for streamers and quick clips. An endless horde mode with leaderboards begs for bragging rights.
- Gritty and Spooky: Unreal Engine 5 brings the rig to life with rusted metal, flickering lights, and grotesque mutants dripping oil. The trailer’s 30 seconds of fog, thunder, and desperate headshots will stick with you.
