Horror Co-op Shooter ‘VEIL’ Announced for Steam [Trailer]
With GTFO releasing its final update last week (though it’s still very much continuing), you might be on the market for a newer horror co-op shooter. Graewolv may have the answer for you with their upcoming shooter, VEIL. The developer has released a new gameplay trailer for the FPS, which mixes tactical co-op and guns with magic “in the search for knowledge and demonic artifacts.”
Announced for Steam, VEIL is a mission-based shooter where you and your team perform work for various groups locked in century-long struggle in the city of Velumgrad. The story goes that there is this alternate world that’s known as The Veil, whose demonic inhabitants are exuding influence on the warring factions in Velumgrad. Guided by the mysterious Elders, you form loosely connected Occult Operator Teams with other outcast Warlocks.
As such, in addition to your physical weaponry, you can make “pacts” with demons to use their powers in the form of magical abilities. Abilities including teleportation, invisibility, the ability to fire demonic bullets that increase damage output and more are at your disposal. The tactical possibilities your powers can provide in VEIL offer up a wide variety of ways to solve your objectives and getting an edge on your opponents. You’ll also collect demonic artifacts to increase your demonic abilities, or sacrifice them to resurrect yourself if you’ve bitten the dust.
Facing off against humans and demons, VEIL is a game focused on co-op. Lucky for those who aren’t able to put together a 4-person team, there will be bot support.
Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!
The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.
“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”
For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.
You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
