Extract Eggs While Avoiding Dinosaurs in Co-op Shooter ‘Eggspedition’ [Trailer]
There’s no question that indie devs have been filling the void for those pining for Dino Crisis. And now, Wildflame Studio are mixing it up with Eggspedition, a 4-play co-op Survival Horror extraction title that sees you attempting to harvest eggs from the prehistoric beasts. But don’t think that you’ll get far without a fight.
Coming to Steam later this year, Eggspedition has you going solo or with up to three other friends to explore unknown planets, abandoned facilities, complete missions, and make daring extractions. You’ve been drop-podded onto an uncharted Class X-13 planet, which just so happens to be inhabited by dinosaurs. The only way to get out is to grab an egg. No egg, no evac.
Despite the name, it’s actually not all egg extraction. To make things interesting, you won’t know what you’re up against until the drop pod closes up behind you. One mission might see you tracking down a lost egg, while another sees you extracting rare minerals from an active crater. Or, you could end up securing a zone crawling with predators.
Every predator has its own way of fighting, its own territory, and its own method of tearing up those who venture into its territory.
It’s only through teamwork that you’ll be able to make it out of the mission. One player can scan the area for the pickups, another can provide cover, while a third does the leg work.
Survive, and you can use the credits you’ve earned to upgrade your arsenal and protective suit. You’ll also be able to enhance your weapons, unlock new combat abilities, and equip yourself with essential gadgets.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
