Beyonder is a first-person horror PvP shooter featuring two radically different factions. Players join either the elite, high-tech Operators or the terrifying, shape-shifting paranormal predators known as MORPHs. The action takes place within a decommissioned Cold War facility in central Ukraine, repurposed in the 1990s by a shadowy private corporation and the newly independent Ukrainian government for paranormal research.

The Pine Grove (Сосновий Гай) facility was commissioned in the early 1990s as a collaborative venture between the Government of Ukraine and the ██████████████ Corporation. Established within the decommissioned Soviet-era installation in ██████████, Poltava Oblast, the facility is designed to secure and contain ██████████████ and other phenomena beyond the boundaries of conventional understanding.

Current Status: Containment protocols have been compromised. A breach event has occurred within the facility.

Response Measures: A specialized Beyonder unit has been mobilized to address the breach.

Fail to burn the bodies or destroy the Nest in time, the balance of power will shift. The hunters will become the hunted.

Pine Grove Complex is a tomb. But something inside is still hungry. 

Secure the nest. Clean up the mess. Eat corpses.

The match-based format brings MOBA-like rhythm to the game, with infinite respawns, evolving abilities, and ‘corpse control’ objective — a mechanic where fallen bodies fuel both sides in the war for dominance.

Players can now sign up for the ongoing playtests through the game’s Steam page or the official Discord server.

Key Features

• Asymmetrical PvP Horror. Play as an Operator, engaging in tactical firefights, or embrace the terror as a MORPH, hunting in the shadows with supernatural abilities.
  • OPERATORS are armed to the teeth. Highly trained and loaded with high-caliber weapons, tactical gear, and gadgets, Operators have a singular objective: locate and destroy the Nest.
  • MORPHs are armed with teeth. Predators from the unknown, MORPHs wield supernatural powers capable of adapting to any threat. MORPHs feast on fear, consuming corpses to become stronger. They will protect the Nest at any cost.
• Every Body Is a Resource. Beyonder is a relentless tug-of-war between Operators and MORPHs for control over the Pine Grove Complex. Operators take the offensive at the start of the match, pushing deep into the complex to locate the Nest and secure generators for critical points and resources. But time is never on their side. The longer they search, the more bodies hit the floor — and every corpse feeds the MORPHs, making them faster, stronger, and deadlier.Fail to burn the bodies or destroy the Nest, and the game flips. Now MORPHs will be on the attack, dragging their Nest straight into the heart of the Operators’ defenses in a relentless push.
• Don’t Trust Your Eyes. MORPHs come in many forms. They will break your mind long before they break your body. Some are invisible until you’re already too close. Some slip past motion sensors undetected. Some grow faster when you’re not looking, stalking from the shadows. And some will fill the map with choking fog, blinding their victims before they go for the kill. MORPHs can adapt to any environment, evolving and changing their abilities mid-gameto better suit the threat to the Nest.You’ll never know what’s hunting you… until it’s too late.
• Tools of Paranormal Trade. Both Operators and MORPHs have access to in-game equipment & ability stores, available at respawn. These stores let you upgrade, evolve, and shift the balance of power mid-match. What you can buy depends on how much of the Pine Grove Complex your team controls. Lose ground, lose resources. Fail at corpse control — and your options shrink.
  • Operators purchase better equipment, buying deadlier weapons, deployable turrets, advanced motion trackers, etc.
  • MORPHs unlock passive abilities for their supernatural powers, making them harder to kill with each evolution.
• Welcome to Pine Grove Complex. Pine Grove combines the cutting edge in experimental technology with brutalist Soviet architecture, and is filled with references to the Ukrainian pop culture of the 1990s, a period shortly after the country’s restoration of independence.

Beyonder is in development for PC (Steam).
