Say hello toExeKiller, which I am filing under “not new, but news to me”.
Hang on, that’s what I’m writing this article with!
Here’s some pre-alpha footage.
In ExeKiller you play Denzel Fenix, who works for a sinister corporation headquartered in ruined New York.
you’re able to tell this is a grimdark setting, because they’ve spelt Phoenix wrong.
I’m unconvinced of the grimdarkness of “Denzel”, though.
It gives me more of a Saturday afternoon sitcom vibe.
The plot sees you learning about both “powerful factions” and your own origins.
The quests themselves all sound very Deus Exuberant, with dialogue decisions plugging into different story endings.
As for the world, this isn’t one of your big city simulations.
There is no XP or levelling, just a choice of mods, augments and new weapons tech.
Perhaps it’ll play like Fallout with much less cruft and distraction?
A Fallout artfully thinned back to its overworld, with a few choice outcrops of dungeon.
