Hey all, I upgraded my PC not so recently, and so I have decided to start on a new project, featuring a modern horror theme. The story goes like this:
In the year 2010, a group of experienced scientists recieved signals that gave evidence of life on Mars. They sent a group of astronauts to collect evidence and data of life on Mars. They brought back some very strange things. Little did they know that these were mini, almost static lifeforms named Hebberezes that depend on humans to survive, and once they have a human in sight, they jump into the body and modifies it, slowly transforming the human. Once transformed, the number of Hebberezes duplicate, and soon comes from singles to tens to hundreds to millions.
The astronauts were the first to caught it and were completely unaware. They slowly transformed into monsters, and the number of Hebberezes started to grow. The scientists, who had taken back the astronauts to study the cause, were the next to catch it. Slowly transforming into bigger, more dangerous creatures, the number of Hebberezes grew and began to catch onto the public. People, with unknown symptoms, were rushed to hospitals. The Hebberezes passed on, and soon infected nearly everyone, including the nurses and doctors working at the hospitals. Soon the city became nearly a fully infected city.
The Government responded by sending out special military forces to deal with the epidemic. They killed everyone, including survivors that weren't infected. However, the Hebberezes caught onto some of them too, and soon there are few military squads left to deal with the situation.
You are one of the surviving citizens rushed to the hospital, slowly transforming but not yet fully infected. The hospital you are in is already crawling with the infected, and the only way to stop the epidemic is to kill all the infected and the source of the Hebberezes, which remains unknown. You are one of the few survivors, and unfortunately the remaining squads already treat you as a monster and will execute you at first sight. You must stop the epidemic.
However, as you progress, you find legacies that you learn that modifies your mind, and allows you super human powers. You also find information from legacies of those that have been killed or infected. Using this information, your powers, and the weapons you find, you must stop the epidemic once and for all, while avoiding being killed by either the soldiers or the inhuman creatures. You have an ability to transform to use the injected fluid, and when you do, your whole body changes. When you stop using it, you're a normal human again.
Yes, it is kind of like BioShock (I kinda copied the plasmids) but I changed the story lots. Please note that the point of this game isn't to make everything look old and abandoned, but to make it seem like an ordinary, but infected, place.
I plan on making ammo scarce, so that the player would need to conserve ammo. Besides, in an infected city, why would there be tons of ammo lying around?
As you progress on it will become a bit of a scifi game, as you discover laboratories and investigate deeper into the lifeforms on Mars.
Here's a screen of when you first wake up in the hospital. More screens to come.
So far the first level is about 40% done.
Also, I am looking for people to do voice acting and cutscenes for this game. If you are interested, either email me or post it here.
I also plan on entering this game into the Ultimate FPSC Competition. If you think I should, please tell me.
The Land of the Epidemic... When Mars can't handle it's Earth's turn...
