A game of paranoia and survival, in a drugged-out, dystopian English city in 1964. From the studio that brought you Contrast.
It’s a first-person game, set in a procedurally generated, fully 3D city that you must escape before society collapses around you. But, like any good roguelike, you’re probably going to die a few times before you figure out how it all works.
You will need to learn how to conform and avoid suspicion. You will need to hunt for supplies, and craft the devices and weapons that enable you to make it out of town alive. What do the Wellies approve of you doing? What makes them suspicious? What turns them into a homicidal mob? And is there anyone here who can help you?
Welcome, my friends. It’s another fabulous day in Wellington Wells.
Wait, isn’t this just another Bioshock? Like practically another clone of Bioshock?
No. This is a rougelike, survival, “stealth in plain sight” game and you don’t get magic powers from taking the drugs, you can overdose and lose your memory– which results in the game generating a completely new map for you. It’s more along the lines of Don’t Starve if anything. Except if Don’t Starve took place in a city where you were trying very hard to blend in with the locals or they’d kill you.
aw man, this looks fun!
I need to plug this–the people making this are really, crazy nice and have an amazing game. They’re from Montreal (just like us at Thunder Lotus!) and we met up with them at PAX East and tried out the game. It’s SO much fun, so entertaining, so stressful.♥ Seriously. Support them!
Its been a while since I’ve been genuinely interested in a kickstarter game. I’d back this a lot if I could.
