OK I've been keeping an eye on this game since the first trailer, as a lot of the aesthetics and ideas on display are appealing. For anybody who knows more about this game and its devs, how brainwormed is it?

    Do we know if this is an immersive sim or just a shooter? I thought it would be the former but the presentation here suggests the latter.

      Looks like it might be Bioshock-adjacent at best, but probably more of a shot towards the newer Wolfenstein and Doom games? So, a bit of exploration but nothing that you could call an immersive sim by any means.

      It shows so many different verbs/guns/powers I'd be surprised if it doesn't do at least some immersive sim stuff.

      According to a dev blog, it was originally planned to be a shooter with levels, but the huge reaction from Reddit comparing it to Fallout made them retool it to be more immersive sim-like. This massive unexpected attention and scope expansion is also the root cause of development issues that may or may not have been resolved if it finally has a release date.

        :shrek-pixel-despair: Why would anyone do this lmao. This could have had potential to be a fun, dumb budget title but they decided to chase after games with Bethesda budgets and development cycles.

          It caused a shitshow with its publisher and a massive delay, I remember a year ago people were saying it would never come out - but if it's coming out soon I guess it managed to survive whatever happened behind the scenes.
