'Evotinction' Reveals More Game Details And Story - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 28, 2022 @ 2:33 p.m. PDT

Set in the near future, Evotinction is a hack-and-stealth game that tells a story that happened in a remote, self-sufficient research facility and community named “HERE”.

Evotinction is a third person hack and stealth game featuring unique hacking mechanics including a variety of hacking skills, environment devices and gadgets.

The AI system controlling the facility got infected by an unknown virus called “RED”, and subsequently went rogue, starting to attack humans. Dr. Liu, head of R&D at HERE and one of the designers of the core system, decided to go back to this lost facility to search for possible survivors while attempting to identify and fix the underlying issue.

Set in the near future, Evotinction challenges the relationship between evolution and extinction.  As AI, gene editing and quantum entanglement technologies rapidly develop, its potential threat grows as well.   One day our greatest achievement, will turn on its creators.   


A Fruitless Pursuit of Eternity. A Glimpse of Evolution and Extinction. A Solemn Song of Life.

Story

Near Future.

A virus of unknown origin breached the network of an isolated, self-sustained research facility and community named HERE.
Inevitably, the core unit of the highly-advanced AI system that runs the facility got infected.
As a result, those harmless service robots went out of control and started to attack humans.
Dr. Liu, Head of R&D at HERE and one of the architects of the system, decided to go back into this lost facility to search for possible survivors while attempting to identify and fix the underlying issue.

Genre

A one-man infiltration into an AI-controlled rampart.
Utilize the kaleidoscopic hacking skills the doctor masters to cope with adversaries.
Disable the security system remotely, rewrite IFF IDs, or manipulate rogue AI's behaviour...
Do what you can to avoid any unnecessary encounters.
Make your way in stealthily and neutralize all threats one by one.
Go deep into the heart of the facility to face the core crisis!

Enemy

"Genie" - those everyday service robots will be your most common opponents.
Each of those service robots has its routine patrol, and the AI system behind their behaviours also coordinates the efforts of those robots to maximize their efficiency.
In addition, the doctor will encounter certain killer robots specially-engineered to neutralize any threats to the core system as he gets deeper into the facility.
Could the infected AI be to blame for everything?
Or perhaps there are additional unidentified reasons lurking somewhere?
All will be eventually revealed along with the doctor's investigation...

Evotinction is coming to PS4/PS5 and PC (Steam, published by Astrolabe) in Spring 2023.
