A first-person horror adventure game, inspired by the works of Zdzislaw Beksinski. Necrophosis takes us to a terrifying post-apocalyptic universe. Everything in this world - from buildings to characters - is in a state of decomposition and the death is omnipresent.
Necrophosis is a horror adventure game, the main source of inspiration for which was the work of Zdzislaw Beksinski. The game is the result of a collaboration between independent developers - Ares Dragonis (author of a similar genre project The Shore) and Adonis Brosteanu.
Plot
Necrophosis takes us to an incredibly gloomy, post-apocalyptic universe, or more precisely - to a land dominated by the titular curse. As the curse evolves everything gradually decomposes. During the game we take on the character who wakes up in this world and explores it, experiencing death at every step.
Gameplay
In Necrophosis we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). Adventure leads us through diverse, yet equally thrilling locations, among which we can find open areas, enclosed interiors of buildings and claustrophobic undergrounds. Following the works of Zdzislaw Beksinski, the places we visit are full of deformed buildings and monuments with humanoid shapes.
As we traverse the world of the game, we interact with its elements, as well as encounter terrifying characters (usually only partially resembling humans). Solving puzzles also plays an important role here. Solving them opens new paths through this spooky land, and also reveals to us the next elements of the main plot. Along the way, we also learn new mechanics.
Engine
Necrophosis uses Unreal Engine 5.
