Grave, a new surreal horror game from Broken Window Studio, will terrify your psyche as much as it will make you jump out of your seat.
Grave is a procedural open-world survival horror game, which features a fusion between modern horror and classic survival horror gameplay elements. What does this mean? It means that Grave will feature a modern psychological horror story, while keeping the classic survival horror gameplay found in games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
Killed in a home invasion, you are cast into an alternate reality where the world morphs and changes around you. Strange creatures lurk in the night and threaten your safety. The only chance to escape is to pursue your killer, the man who sent you to The Wasteland. Use non-traditional weapons for defending yourself against the creatures of the night, including matches, flashlights, flares, generators, fire and more. Light is the only tool for survival, your only protection from the unknown dangers that await.
Explore a dynamically procedural desert inspired by the early wild west landscape of America as you explore the game’s unusual narrative. Fusing reality with unreality, locations fluctuate in and out of existence while you play and nightfall brings strange, threatening creatures that stalk you until dawn. Play Grave how you want to, setting up defensive fortifications to survive the night or arming yourself with offensive weapons to keep the creatures at bay. With procedurally populated enemies, items and even worlds, Grave weaves an unpredictable tale that will keep you in its grasp.
Grave features surreal gameplay that challenges your perceptions with dynamically changing worlds, unnatural imagery and fantastical creations. It’s a unique day-night gameplay experience, “fear the night, hope for the day!”
The team at Broken Window Studios is really excited to showcase the progress that have been made on Grave. The games brand of surrealist dreamscape will be a unique experience for players. The team’s goal is to create the “Destino” or “Eraserhead” of games, by experimenting and redefining the player’s interaction with the game’s narrative.
Grave is built in the Unity 3D engine, and will be taking advantage of the ID@Xbox partnership with Unity Technologies. The team is working hard to build Next-Gen visuals into the title, and plans to take advantage of many of the new lighting and shading techniques possible with the upcoming Unity 5. Grave is also compatible with the Oculus Rift (DK1 and DK2) on PC, so you can fight off creatures of the night in virtual reality.
Development began shortly after our successful Kickstarter in April 2014 and has been an ongoing and rewarding experience. Broken Window Studios feel’s the game’s direction and unique approach to survival horror are taking shape, and they are pleased to bring Grave to players in 2015. You can follow Grave for more updates on Facebook and Twitter.
Grave will be available on Steam for PC/Mac/Linux and available for Xbox One and PS4 in 2015.
