New Gameplay Trailer, Demo Released for WWI Survival Horror Game ‘Conscript’ [Watch]
It’s been a long while since we last heard about Catchweight Studio’s WWI horror title Conscript. So, you know what that means. The devs have posted an update to their Kickstarter that includes an update to the demo for Conscript on Steam, as well as a new gameplay trailer.
The demo in question was the one Catchweight Studio was showing off at Gamescom. This new demo includes a bunch of additions and fixes, including intro cinematics, updated character designs, new animations and behaviours for NPCs, new visuals and effects, and “many smaller bug fixes and improvements”.
According to the devs, if you’ve already played the 2021 version, this updated demo is more of a refinement of the previous version, so there’s nothing new to explore.
As a refresher, Conscript is set in 1916 during The Great War, and tells the tale of a lone French soldier named André, who is looking for his brother Pierre – missing-in-action during The Battle of Verdun. In the midst of the trenches of the Great War. You must navigate the mazelike trenches, scavenge for supplies and solve complex puzzles – all the while fighting for your survival.
Conscript touts highly-replayable Survival Horror gameplay with various difficulty settings, multiple endings, unlockable costumes and bonus weapons.
No release date has been announced as of yet.
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.
