Built using the Unreal 4 Engine,  Nightmarchers combines innovative action with faction-based gameplay, inviting players to discover the secrets of Hawaii’s mystical past while uncovering and exploring a full-scale authentic representation of 500 square miles of game world terrain – from discovering special powers and abilities of the Hawaiian gods, to choosing skills and weapons, and remaking the island in their own way, all while watching out for the powerful Nightmarchers who protect the island.

Nightmarchers will debut on the new gaming destination platform, BrightLocker, which offers exclusive beta access, in-game content and developer interaction. In the game, players must fight for survival and learn to tap into the power of the spirit world to become a demigod and help liberate Oahu from the army that has taken its control.

As you explore the apocalyptic paradise of Oahu, you will come upon various areas of settlement. Some will be overrun by Kamapua'a raiders, while others will be run by the various factions that have taken footing. But it's the Pig God's raiders that can be the most dangerous, and it's Kai's job to clear them out.

In this clip, we see how powerful the ancient magic of the gods can be as you use your bow and various other powers to take out players at range. Using your Uhane, or Spirit, vision lets you mark and identify your targets. But if you're looking for something less magical, guns, grenades, and other implements of destruction are available throughout the game as well. It's all up to the player in how you get the job done.

The Panamax Salvage Site shown above is just one of our many locations in the open world. You can see how flying in as an owl and causing chaos with your weapons will payoff later on as a host of Kama's possessed followers strive to take you out.

Who knows? If you manage to restore these pockets of Oahu to their natural or peaceful states, you just might be rewarded by the gods for fighting the good fight.

We'd love it if you could share this video with your audience, and help us spread the word about Kai's forthcoming struggle.

Nightmarchers kicks off today on Fig offering both equity and rewards opportunities, with an overall goal of $100K. Backers can support by investing in Fig Game Shares that pay a return based on the game’s future sales. Stretch goals add additional features, quest lines, powers, and more.

“Nightmarchers has been a passion project of ours for years now,” said Wyrmbyte CEO Scott Brown. “Hawaii means a lot to all of us at Wyrmbyte, both as a place we love to visit and as a culture. We’re thrilled to explore the mythology of Hawaii and reimaging it as part of our world in this sprawling shooter RPG.”
