“An open world, sci-fi survival horror FPS with RPG elements in development for Windows PC.”

“Play as a Sleeper, awoken from cryosleep in Eden, a fallen utopia wrought with death and danger. Meet PAMELA, an omnipresent AI overseer who is left alone watching over the once-vibrant city, now reduced to a silent monolith gliding across the ocean. She will fight by your side as you struggle against Eden’s tortured citizens.

“Uncover the tragic events that lead to the downfall of a civilization, and fight for your life as the broken citizens of Eden defend their home against your intrusion. With a personality-driven AI system, no encounter will be the same as the Afflicted react in unpredictable ways, driven by their excruciating pain and disfiguring disease.”

The Skeleton War

developed by The Skeleton Crew

[gfycat data_id="InsecureMeatyCowrie"][gfycat data_id="OrnateUnequaledDove"]

“A multiplayer game designed for up to 8 players to play together and break each other apart. Everyone is a skeleton, but no one is particularly attached to their limbs. Break your friends legs off and take them for yourself.”

Developed by a group of students in Australia, you can download The Skeleton War from the indieDB link here. There are currently two modes; Bone Collector, which rewards points for collecting the limbs of other players, and Dye Another Day, where you have to collect limbs that match the colour of your torso.

It’s meant to be played across a LAN, but you can also host a game with your friends online. Here is the guide to set it up.

“A curious game about a young person venturing down a well in search of untold treasures with only his Gunboots for protection. Make your way further and further down into the darkness filled with nasty creatures and mysterious secrets to collect the spectacular red gems scattered about the rocks.

“Step into precariously placed shops and buy some helpful items or level up between levels to battle well-dwelling monsters and uncover hidden caves filled with riches and relics. No two trips down the well are ever the same!”

Message Quest

developed by Royal Troupe

[gfycat data_id="ContentSophisticatedFlyingfox"][gfycat data_id="SardonicSingleBison"][gfycat data_id="ObviousSeveralArthropods"]

“A tiny stained-glass point-n-click adventure about laziness and her herald.

“This game is about a lazy guy. One day, his evil employer makes him work, and that’s where everything starts to go awry.

“And yes, this lazy dude is a herald. You may actually know a few heralds, those guys who appear at the beginning of every story, looking for the hero in an attempt to deliver that “call to adventure” thingy, right before the interesting stuff starts to happen. That’s exactly the job our guy must do. Find a hero, give him or her a call to adventure, and be done with it. No exploits, no saving the world stuff. What can possibly go wrong?”

Message Quest has just been released on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux. There’s a link to the demo on the website below; you can play in your browser or download it to your computer. Don’t judge the voice acting by the trailer, as it’s much better in the game (at least, from playing the demo).

Stack Gun Heroes

developed by Team Stack Studios

[gfycat data_id="ImprobableDeliciousCaimanlizard"][gfycat data_id="WarmCrispDrever"][gfycat data_id="ImaginativeDetailedAmericanmarten"]
“A co-op gun building FPS that lets you stack gun parts to modify your weapon. Gun parts in Stack Gun Heroes routinely do things like multiply damage by 200%, or call down orbital strikes, or spew turrets instead of bullets. All effects chain together, and the more convoluted your weapon the stronger it is. Stack enough parts, and your gun becomes a cataclysmic Rube Goldberg superweapon.”

Saw this on Reddit and it just sounded so awesomely crazy:

“You can stack 8 mods high, but some mods split into multiple barrels each of which can be stacked independently. In all, we’re talking hundreds of effects on a single gun if you’re into that sort of thing. And even cooler, the order matters too. This means that an Orbital Strike + Turret will call down a turret from orbit, but a Turret + Orbital Strike will make your gun launch turrets that call down orbital strikes on their own.”

O.O
