Blood West publishers Hyperstrange are back with another Eldritch horror game in Pixel Jackal Studio’s Bloodwoven. This survival FPS has you hunting, surviving and thriving in a world built upon the frozen corpse of a forgotten god. Survival comes with new hazards and a new mechanic, where you must watch your body heat, climb icy peaks, slip through places you were never meant to reach, and move like a predator in the shadows. Or like prey desperately trying not to be seen.

Your home, the long deceased corpse of a god, shackles many secrets beneath its icy flesh. Your people, as everything in this world, come into existence through sanguine pods which birthed you as well. However, as of late the same cradles are bringing into the world corrupted forms – abominations that are neither human nor animals. As this new threat populates the god-glacier, you and other tribes must find a new foothold. Some tribes even mention finding metal dwellings that long ago fell from the stars.

This world you inhabit changes after sunset. When certain monsters retreat to sleep, entirely different abominations emerge to hunt – opening new paths of exploration, or sealing them off entirely. As mentioned, in addition to the fangs and claws waiting in the dark, you’ll need to deal with the omnipresent, biting frost that will constantly sap your life. You’ll need to make use of campfires, which may be the only difference between life and death.

You are not the hero of this story, but you are definitely a part of the food chain. Stalk your prey and dispatch it with stealth, or stand your ground with spear in hand and boomerang on your back. In time, and with a little bit of luck, you will also have a chance to put your hands on armaments that are from out of this world.
