Wales Interactive has revealed a new sci-fi horror FMV game at the PC Gaming Show (part of Summer Games Fest) called Dead Reset.
The publisher is well known for high quality FMV games, but has recently turned to publishing other interesting titles like Into the Restless Ruins. However, this is very much a return to the genre, and you can check out the new trailer, below.
The team says: “Dead Reset is a blood-soaked interactive sci-fi horror that follows Cole Mason, a surgeon trapped in a terrifying death-loop. Kidnapped and brought to an underwater facility, Cole is forced to operate on a patient to extract an evolving parasitic horror, with each death being the key to survival.”
Film director, Stewart Sparke said: “Dead Reset was designed to get under the skin of the player and deliver relentless scares driven by gruesome practical effects and a time-bending descent into terror. I can’t wait for people to dive in and play our blood-drenched, interactive love letter to the horror genre!”
Here’s the key features and some information on the game:
- Death is Inevitable: Master the death-loop to uncover the path to escape. Death is not the end but offers a terrifying new perspective.
- Embrace the Horror: Immerse yourself in a blood-soaked, interactive narrative with cinematic scares, bloody practical effects and high-stakes choice-driven gameplay that put you at the heart of a relentless sci-fi horror movie.
- Choices Matter: Steer Cole on a path of Redemption or Damnation in your fight to survive. There are no easy choices as your morality is tested at every turn and your decisions will result in four wildly different endings.
- Pause the Terror: Playing to an audience? Enable Streamer Mode, which removes time constraints on choices, letting your viewers guide Cole’s fate and delight in his gruesome deaths.
- Who Do You Trust?: Build trust or fracture alliances; each bond forged or broken influences your road to survival. View the in-game tracker to check your relationship with other characters, if they are still alive.
