Sci-Fi Horror Game ‘CryoSpace’ Announced For 2022 Release
Who wouldn’t love some sci-fi horror about now? Well, to be fair, kuklam studios’ CryoSpace won’t be coming until 2022, but hey, it’s something to look forward to. The title, which you can currently wishlist on Steam, is inspired by Alien (of course) and Philip K. Dick, and puts you in the usual situation of “person wakes up from cryosleep to find things are bad on the space station”.
But as a twist, CryoSpace cast you not as a marine or beefed up crewmember. Rather, you’re the maintenance guy. The guy who fixes the pipes.
As a result, you’ll be fending off whatever-it-is that lurks on the station with your maintenance tools. Luckily for you, there are other survivors you can track down and team up with to battle the zombies/aliens. You just have to keep them alive. That involves creating a makeshift colony of survivors in an almost derelict space station, supplying them with food, oxygen, and weapons.
Because what’s fighting for your life in space without involving a little strategy?
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
