[Trailer] ‘Dino Crisis’-Inspired ‘Compound Fracture’ Shows Off Retro Graphical Prowess in New Gameplay Video
A few months back, we told you about developers Austin Schaeffer, Cyrus Byrd and Pete Goodfellow and their upcoming Dino Crisis-inspired Survival Horror game Compound Fracture. The team recently dropped a new update in the form of a new gameplay video.
The five-minute video in question not only shows off that retro PS1-style we all know and love, but also demonstrates some “fixed” graphical options that remove the polygon wobble and texture warping that some gamers from that era hold near and dear (or don’t, hence the options).
In Compound Fracture, you take on the role of a government safety inspector doing an unannounced safety check on a company known as ChronoGas. As these things go, suspicion mounts, and before you know it, dinosaurs are running amok.
No release date as of yet, though you can wishlist the game on Steam.
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
