On the lookout for new indie horror experiences? Well this looks to be one you won't want to miss! Today, Team17 announced a new publishing deal for the upcoming indie survival horror game, CONSCRIPT.
Developed by one man over six years, CONSCRIPT puts players into the shoes of a French soldier searching for his brother who has gone missing-in-action. Taking place in 1916 during World War 1, you will have to plan, explore, and survive as you dive into the madness, combat enemy soldiers, manage supplies, and solve environmental puzzles.
Looking at the gameplay trailer from last year, CONSCRIPT looks beautifully gritty and I couldn't love it more. The environment looks freightening and the gameplay looks challenging. It also reminds me a little of Signalis, which is an incredible horror game in itstelf.
CONSCRIPT Features:
- Experience classic and methodical survival horror gameplay in a unique historical setting: the Battle of Verdun.
- Highly re-playable with various difficulty settings, multiple endings, unlockable costumes, and bonus weapons.
- Fend off a variety of enemy soldiers and combatants with a variety of WW1 melee weapons and firearms.
- Survive in an intense, harrowing atmosphere boosted by a unique pixel art aesthetic and oppressive sound design.
- Navigate intricate level design that promotes item management and route planning, whilst solving complex environmental puzzles.
- Distinct WW1 themed areas that intertwine and overlap.
CONSCRIPT will be coming out in 2024 and you can wishlist and try out the demo on Steam now. Team17 has been on-point when it comes to the games they publish supporting the Steam Deck well and this one looks to be another. With full controller support, I am sure the game will be fantastic to play on-the-go. Here's hoping for cloud save and 16:10 resolution support!
