The masked protagonist must escape from a city ravaged by disease, by any means necessary. Starving and exhausted, he has begun to question how much of what he sees is even real.
How to survive is up to YOU. Sneak through without firing a single shot, or kill everything in your path. Eat and sleep well, or resort to drugs to keep going. Search for survivors, or try to escape the city alone. Look after your mental health, or descend into madness...
Lone Survivor is unusual mix of survival horror, stealth mechanics, adventure games, a virtual pet, a physical and psychological survival simulation and a truly interactive story. The player is encouraged to role-play and forget about the game's workings, while the story moulds to match the player's actions. This is a game where your choices genuinely matter.
Super Lone Survivor is a remake of the original game, with a whole new scenario, ‘Ascending’.
It has been rewritten from scratch in a modern engine, to support gamepads on PC, to work with high refresh rate or ultrawide monitors, and to work in 64-bit only systems. it will have ultra smooth scrolling and support for 4k effects. it’s already up and running in 60fps on Switch.
I’m considering difficulty modes.
the Ascending scenario is new content i’m currently making, using some of the features of the new engine, such as shadows, new effects, and parallax scrolling.
I still have no idea how long Ascending will be, i don’t want it to spiral, but then again the story feels relevant right now. by packaging it with the original game, it removes the pressure to do a full sequel, something i never intended to do.
The whole trailer was made in-engine with no edits or post-processing.
More details to follow.
