Set in 1916 during The Great War, Conscript 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.
Along with experiencing the horror of the Battle of Verdun with a classic and methodical survival horror gameplay style, Conscript is also highly re-playable with various difficulty settings, multiple endings, unlockable costumes and bonus weapons. Players will need to navigate intricate level design posed by the battlefield that promotes item management and route planning.
