Dysmantle is set on an extraordinary dystopian island where time seems to have stopped somewhere between 70s and 90s after a grim calamity has taken place. The story starts as the protagonist ascends from his underground shelter and finds himself all alone and left behind on the island, a brave new old world awaits you.

A world inhabited with nasty and vile creatures. A world with no other human soul to be seen. A world with nature in reigns now. A world that's about to get even worse.

You need to find a way to escape the wretched island. But before that, enjoy the bittersweet post-apocalypse.

Explore the ruins of the past and discover technology from the hitech era. Gain technological advantage against the hostile environment. Or go deeper and recover the ancient lost knowledge from the hidden tomb chambers of the old ones. Acquire materials with almost magic-like properties and use them to craft insanely powerful gear.

Explore. Fight. Level up. Survive. Gather. Craft. Harvest. Hunt. Build. Farm. Solve puzzles. Fish. Cook. Live.

Developer/publisher 10tons reveals that Dysmantle is now available on Steam early access for $19.99.

"Dysmantle is an open world game with lots of different activities to do. This includes things such as gathering resources, fighting, farming, fishing, and treasure hunting. We want to listen to the players to hear what are the most fun things to do, and what will need more work or better rewards. We may also find some new activities we can implement", comments lead developer Tero Alatalo on Early Access plans.

"The Early Access version will contain roughly the first 1/3 of the open world game area. There's also an Experience Level cap which prevents leveling up after reaching Level 20. Otherwise, the version contains all the features mentioned in the "About This" section of the store page with the exception of building stuff", Tero continues.

Here's what you can do already:

• Break over 99% of all objects for materials with the right tools. No barrier will stop you.
• Fight with (or run away) nasty and vile creatures of the post-apocalyptic era.
• Explore the handcrafted open world and uncover its mysteries.
• Survive. Clear areas of monsters and claim it as yours.
• Craft permanent weapons, tools, outfits, and trinkets.
• Hunt dangerous game 
• Farm exotic plants and reap the rewards as crop gets ripe.
• Solve puzzles above ground and underground in the Tombs of the Old Ones
• Fish cunning scaly things under the watery surface.
• Cook delicious recipes for permanent stat and ability upgrades.
• Unravel the mysteries of the strange island.

"The reception from streamers and testers has been overwhelmingly good. We also have a record number of views from streamers and this is our most wishlisted game to date. With the release today we hope to bring post-apocalypse to as many PCs as possible.", comments lead developer Tero Alatalo.

The full launch, which will happen 3-6 months after the early access, will also feature current and next-gen consoles. There'll also be support for Linux and Mac. 10tons has plans to support several next-gen console features like high resolution rendering, high refresh rates, and more.

Over 99% of everything can be broken for materials with the right equipment. Do that, and collect the sweet nectar of the old world: plastics, rubber, and metals. There is a reasonable number of different materials to gather. Find Recipes to craft permanent items and upgrades.

Explore the vast hand-crafted open world and build Outposts to establish your presence. Claim back the land area by area. Find hidden treasures and solve puzzles long ago forgotten. Find your means of escaping the island.

The world after the end is inhabited by nasty creatures. Something vile has affected most of the wildlife and former human inhabitants of the island -- turning them into aggressive beast-like creatures. Slay them and collect their loot - or run away and come back when you're stronger. Fight using various melee and ranged weapons. Create traps and lure monsters in. Do whatever it takes.

You will not be fighting just to maintain the status quo. This IS NOT a game about starving. You won't be constantly looking for a tasty cockroach to fill your over-metabolic stomach while waiting for the unavoidable bliss that is death. You will never die of hunger. You will get more powerful, and unlock permanent upgrades. The world is a dangerous place, and you may take a few steps back once in a while, but eventually you will thrive.
